my bff.... her mom had a lot of pieces from louis vuitton, but no one was allowed to touch them. i never knew what it was other than the funny looking flower bag (monogram canvas), i was 16 at the time and didn't like it at all. when i got older early 20s. my bff purchased her first louis vuitton speedy, she said i should give it a try. i was content with the fendi i was using and kindly said no to her a few times. one day for some strange reason i listened to her, walked into a louis vuitton boutique and fell in love with everything. now 8 years later i have a collection of lv items without realizing how i got here and love every piece i purchased.
