I do not want to buy a bag that anyone else has handled, so I prefer they wear gloves. I also do not like the idea of other women handling my potential bag....we all wear lotions, perfumes, sunscreens etc. that can get on the bag. For less expensive bags, that is why they have a display bag, and for more expensive bags, I think they should wear gloves.
I've been to museums where the tour guides handled artifacts and had to wear cotton gloves to avoid scratching them - but this just seems weird in a store. Especially since as someone else said, the customer is free to handle the item without gloves.
I don't mind. Ive said many times that i like the direction that LV has taken. i had moved away from LV bags in favor of Chanel but these more sophisticated items are definitely drawing me back.
The gloves are part of the presentation. I like when my bags (but especially my shoes) are presented to me on the LV tray at the store.

I like that they use gloves - shows a sign of respect for the bags, slg's etc - LV products deserve to be respected 
Chanel SAs use gloves and somehow it makes the bags seem more precious and desirable. haha maybe thats why Louis Vuitton is adopting it too, to increase the standard? I don't know but I don't mind it at all. It doesn't cause me any extra inconvenience than before
I kind of like the idea! Especially if the display is the only one available and you dont want to wait for one to be sent.
