How to best carry Louis Vuitton under your underarm

Today the company has advertised with the likes of Mikhail Gorbachev, Andre Agassi, Gisele Bündchen and even Keith Richards.

The brand's longevity is due to its commitment to quality. Each piece of luggage is hand-made, like it was back when Louis was in charge. Each brass lock and key is unique to the owner and pick-proof, and the frames of the trunk are made from aged poplar.

Such high quality design has made the brand synonymous with Prada, Gucci, Fendi, Dior and Chanel, and it is also just as expensive.

A fashionable lady looking for a signature Louis handbag can expect to spend anywhere between $300-$700 for a clutch or $1,000+ for a purse or carry-all.

For a classy man, briefcases and bags run about $700-$4,000, while wallets will set you back about $300. The men's spring lineup showed a monochromatic theme of blue, gold, brown and white in experimental styles. The clothing was both luxurious and casual, which for a French powerhouse is uncommon.

Louis Vuitton is perhaps a brand uncommon on college campuses. It is the epitome of luxury living and travel, and this is perhaps why its appearance is so sparse on campus.

As Hopkins students we don't really have the time or the money.

Yet it has been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And the world of counterfeit products seems to be addicted to Louis Vuitton at the moment, so why not pick up a fake the next time you're in a major fashion city?

But make sure it's a good one. Do your research - it helps.

Monsieur Vuitton's attention to detail brought him fame and immortality. So when you wake up tomorrow morning and want to decide between your blue hoodie and your red hoodie, try something different and add a little flare.

A little attention to detail goes a long way.
