Louis Vuitton Bag in Shanghai is my Picture of the Week. Looking at the picture, I still cannot come to terms on how certain things are in life. I mean, was this bag machine washed or hand washed? Was it spun dry or left to drip dry? Only you and I can imagine how it was done. This picture was taken in the Taikang Lu district of Shanghai when I was wandering around the interesting back lanes here. Notice the undergarments hanging in the back? Such an interesting combination that this was one of my most memorable images of Shanghai, China.
I guess it is true that every other girl or woman in China owns a LV Handbag, just that is it the real one or are people so well off that they can simply hang their bags to dry. I also visited Paris in June 2011 and took another beautiful picture of Louis Vuitton Handbag Wheel Picture. Here is another article about the new Louis Vuitton Island Maison Store in Singapore which opened on 18th September 2011. I am pretty sure that those hard core bag addicts would be able to tell the difference if this is a real Louis Vuitton Bag in Shanghai.

i wonder if those ladies really hang up the genuine LV like that... that would be interesting! :D
Henry, it's something I can never understand. Also something I never expected to see.. but only in China.
I'd say it is a fake.The lining looks sadly lacking for a Louis.
Thanks Jen for the honest comment. Due to me not knowing much about handbags, I leave it up to the ladies to make judgment.
oh Gosh so sad... hihihi...
lol...hilarious post! how can you even contemplate thinking it could be real? the real ones i'm sure would be nicely tucked away in their original boxes and brought out only for special occasions. atleast, i think so!
great blog david.
Haha Anon, you have a point there. But then again, who knows if the new China has so much new money that they could easily buy a Louis Vuitton Bag every other week? I'm most certainly sure it is a knockoff too. Thanks for your feedback :)

Anonymous..they 'live' in dust bags...not boxes like shoes.
haha! Something tells me it isn't an authentic LV bag ;) Great shot!
Oh my goodness! Everyone knows an LV bag has no business hanging under the sun!!!
But I reckon you could say it is an offical ad - "LV bags, an everyday pleasure!" Sounds alright!!
guys LV bags are "baked" under the sun especially the leather parts to strengthen it. baked bags would accumulate less dirt over the years than non baked ones. fyi.
it's called oxidizing.
