Great link!! Reminds me of French class .. LOL! Most of them were pretty easy for me
Hi, If someone could please help me out with the pronunciation of the new colour Poudre. I was about to phone LV today to ask if they have any of the Lunar in this colour but stopped dead when l realised l couldn't even pronounce it. Thanks
I pronounce "patina" with the accent on the first syllable (pat-in-a). That's actually the way the ancient Romans pronounced it. (Sorry I took seven years of Latin) You can say pa-tee-na though.
Also, depending on the dialect (in high school, I had one teacher from Paris, and another from Germany) you would say vwee-ton with a soft "n" for Vuitton. I cringe when I hear va-ton like it rhymes with a baton. I can't say that when I go to the store, sorry! Maybe we can call the corporate office in Paris and see how they answer the phone?
Poudre would be pu-druh or you could probably say poo-druh and they'd get it!

Hehehe, I would most probably have a laughing fit if I walked into LV and had to pronounce poo-druh to one of the SA's
I asked my mother inlaw how to pronounce it as she speaks fluent French and her way was too confusing for me, but thanks i'll try the pu-druh.
Wow. I'm bumping this thread up b/c it's so informative on how to pronounce the names of LV bags.
I just went thru the entire thread and thank you guys in advance for all your hard work. I def. can relate to ppl pronouncing these names wrong.
Now I feel more confident when talking to a SA I won't look at me like I've totally lost my mind

Can anyone help with saying the color blanc "corail"? I know blanc but the online dictionary for corail's audio is sooo difficult to understand!Thanks!
cawh-hrai-el
Thanks! Really??
I've been searching a bit and French speaking people seem to say it "cohr-RYE" like the bread... ?Thanks! Really??
Haha, by hrai, I meant rye but with a rolling h in front. Maybe better written:
caw-hrye-l
There is definitely a very short l at the end though.
