I'll be there in Japan in 2010 for my third year study of uni. I'll take a look then.

Yes, rjd, how dare you make snide remarks your beloved adopted motherland.

Meanwhile, LV laughing all the way to the bank.........

Japanese people love brand/designer products. The women love to spend their, their husband's, lover's or patron's money on LV products. And why not?

Is it me or do all the designs look the same?

It means kabakura bar will be very busy very soon, and we must ready to watch in the news that more men will go to jail about enjokosai. And by the other hand mr KyouNippon you are absolutely right all is the same, but you know for people who loves to dress an uniform its ok.

Anyone who spends over a $1000 to buy an incredibly ugly, feces brown, urine yellow handbag needs to have their head examined. Or, maybe I'm just bitter because I have an ex with over $10,000 worth of LV crap and it all looked the same.

Lord, you would have thought the super-sized stores they already have in Omotesando and Roppongi Hills would be sufficient. Guess this truly is testimony to J-ladies seemingly inquenchable thrist for luxury goods. (Although it is likely many customers of this shop will also be tourists, particularly from China.) I read somewhere that 90%+ of all J-ladies between the ages of 20 and 30 have at least one piece of LV. That is simply incredible.

You can't help marvel at what LV have done in Japan.

Usually products are expensive because very few people own them - but LV have managed to sell incredibly ugly bags at exorbitant prices - even when literally over half the adult female population owns the same bag.

And LV China (no affiliation to LVMH) immediately announced the opening of the world's largest fake LV store in Guangzhou, which is expected to pull at least as much Japanese business as the Ginza store.

Great more poo brown bags for the sheepish crowds. Just how does it feel to be a walking cookie cutter LV tagged stereotype? Another manifestation of uniform fashion all too common in Japan. I guess LV is happy the sheep lack the originality and creatity to choose another brand.

hmmm. a short stay me thinks. with commodity inflation, a poor nikkei, and high oil prices, not to mention Ginzas rent, they may struggle to turn a profit.

Way to go france/japan/LV/shopping. Makes jobs for all in tokyo and helps travellers buy LV products in 2010.

must be an investment into property. I wonder how many bags they have to sell just for the running cost.

Warning: Its actually illegal in Jpn to be outside your home without carry an LV article on you. Not being able to afford it is no excuse,please refer to such helpful credit organizations as acomu or promise. The purchasing of LV products must take precedence over such things as food for the family or other non essentials items such as rent.
