Trip to Louis Vuitton Bal Harbour: Our Loot!

Louis Vuitton Shopping Bags

Last week Vlad and I shopped like pros. On a gorgeous South Florida day, we headed to Bal Harbour to merely look and see what some of our favorite stores had on the shelves. First we hopped into Bottega Veneta to “look”, and well, we left with a few goodies. Just a few stores across the way was Louis Vuitton, which we knew we had to visit. I stopped Vlad on the short walk over and told him we were going to look and would then leave, it has been enough shopping, traveling, and spending lately. Apparently, Vlad is awful at listening to requests and I am awful following through. After stepping foot in LV, we were on a mission to find some goods. It all started with finding out favorite SA. She greeted us, we chatted, and then got down to business.

News: Men go for luxury when choosing handbags

men-luxury.jpg All of the men can keep denying that they care about fashion or designer labels, but a recent study shows that men in fact do care about the labels (the wealthy men at least). The most recognized brand name from the study was Coach, which I found to be an interesting fact to keep in mind for my appearance on Millionaire. Read more below and share your thoughts!

Men are more likely than women to opt for a luxury brand when buying handbags – and it’s the label, not the price, that counts, according to a survey of wealthy shoppers.

The Luxury Institute said the demand for luxury bags remains strong, with about one third of 1,500 wealthy American shoppers surveyed buying a branded bag in the last 12 months.

“The luxury handbag is the accessory that defines the wealthy woman and is a major profit driver for luxury fashion brands,” said Milton Pedraza, chief executive of the New York-based researcher focused on wealthy consumers.

The Luxury Institute found that men were more likely than women to reach for a luxury label when buying a handbag – 73 per cent of men, compared with 50 per cent of women – and over three times more likely to choose luxury French brand Chanel.

But overall, US label Coach has become the most popular bag among wealthy shoppers, leading with a 29 percent market share with other brands compete heavily for the rest of the pie.
