The LV Pronunciation Thread

Ka- bahs Piah-no
But don't draw out the "ah in Piano. It's more of an inflected "no" than "ah"

Popincourt is difficult to pronounce if you don't know how to make the french sounds.
Poe-pin-coor
"Pin" sounds like how you pronounce the "i" in the word "Interesting" like and "ieh"
And Court is pronounced "Coor" like Coors Light, without the "s"
And without the harsh "r" sound at the end... Coor, with a soft r.

Haut is the same french sound as Haute as in "Haute Couture"
Almost like you are calling someone a "ho" but bring your tounge to the roof of your mouth in a soft "t" at the end of the word.


Ack.
Hope this is helpful and not more confusing.

Thank you!

Hi all,

I know we just did this pronunciation in another thread, but I still cannot figure out how to say pochette. Also, how to say cerises pochette.

Is it po chet? or pu che. I am totally lost!! Any help is appreciated. My husband and I have a bet riding on this. Thanks.

PO...Shett...Pochette!

and Cerise is like SUR...Reese..

 

[Lvbabydoll]

Yup..that's how I say it..po-shett

It gets on my nerves when people say or spell it like "pouchette" uggh that bothers me.

 

[Gibbs2424]

and you asked about cerises, too . . . .it's SUH-rees. that's the best phonetic version I can come up with!

Thanks so much for posting. This is very helpful..
I'm still struggling on how to pronounce this : L'Imprevisible = Lam-pray-vee-zeeb

I think this thread could be a sticky

Thanks Winona, you are good!
Like I said, I just copied and pasted these from that website, I didn't know any of them either!

A (probably stupid) question:

How exactly do you say Louis Vuitton? :shame:

I have heard people pronounce Vuitton different ways and want to make sure I have it right!

You can hear it pronounced here: http://fashion.about.com/cs/designers/l/blpronounce.htm

Lou-eee Vee-tohn (with a choked sort of G sound on the "tohn", emphasis on the tohn, don't pronounce the N really, just kind of let it die in your throat.) Just listen to the link.

 

[Angelblake]

How is Wapity pronounced? With an a as in "wrap" or as in "war"?

Don't feel bad! When I bought my damier papillon I asked the SA if I could view the pah-pee-yon and she corrected me to pap-il-lon!
