True LVoers, How does LV stand out among the other designer labels?

When it comes to the history of the brand, I specifically like that LV was a brand that met people's real needs. I find luxury brands almost too pushy sometimes in determining what we should like or have or want. LV was one of the few brands that anticipated customers' needs and created ready-to-buy products to meet them. I'm a real person who want brands to understand my real life. Being able to achieve that calls for certain amount of restraint and control during the creative process. It's practical creativity

Interesting. The clothing aspect is the hardest thing for me to compare. Fortunately, I'm not buying too many true designer clothing pieces. LV did not make clothing until 1998 so the golden age of fashion passed LV. A lot of people here have bags older than the clothing line. In that respect, it is a bit if an anomaly to me. Its just not on the same level historically but maybe thats why its so hugely successful. To me, when a celeb wears vintage Valentino or Oscar de la Renta or Chanel or YSL, there's something so magical. I'm fascinated by that age when designers met with models and made clothing for them before the shoes and considered them a muse.

I think Marc Jacobs is a genius and it took that youth and relative unknown status to be able to create the clothing line as opposed to attempt to compete with the true clothing fashion houses. Which translated into becoming the most successful luxury brand. . . I love discussing stuff like this. I just ordered the LV/MJ book.

Louis Vuitton stands out to me because of the brand's focus on Travel and the Art of Traveling. As someone who enjoys exploring some of the oldest places in the world, it gives me a special feeling to carry luggage in the same prints and styles that generations before me carried as well. I like to look at my LV pieces and think about the future places they will go alongside not only me, but my children who inherit my pieces. It's not just any brand that has a legacy of high quality pieces that are durable enough to serve more than one user.
