I was horrified when I heard that a Louis Vuitton shoulder strap cost $250 USD. That was a ridiculous price. I could buy a decently looking Coach handbag that came with a shoulder strap for that price. I think Louis Vuitton could charge that much because they pretty much dominate the designer handbag industry.
Since Louis Vuitton is such a big shot, they can care less if you do not buy their products. They know that they have clients who are willing to fork out that much money to buy it if you don’t. They have millions of loyal patrons waiting in line at almost every metropolitan city trying to buy their merchandise. Also, if you don’t choose to buy it now, you won’t be able to buy it for the same price. Louis Vuitton marks up their products by a certain percentage about 4 times a year too.
Money talks; otherwise, Louis Vuitton can care less about what you have to say.
