The House of Louis Vuitton (SPOILER: yeah, it's a knockoff)

More at Dangerous Minds. Apparently it's somewhere in Mexicali. Pienso que prefiero éste sobre el otro que está en París. (via a number of Spanish-language blogs which trace back to this one: hazmeelchingadofavor/via Tara McGinley + Richard Metzger)

  A labor of LV.
  Now that that’s out of the way, the cyclone fence brings a nice Man of the People touch.

  I was always rather amused by a former work colleague’s fanatical glowing pride in her genuine Louis Vuttion handbag.

  I really have to get a photo of the Chevy Avalanche running around out here in the Sugar Land area that is done up in the LV graphics.

  finally, something with that design that looks something other than goddamn ugly. Never could figure why out why anyone would buy such ugly stuff, and especially pay that insane price for such ugly stuff.

  How much do you love Louis Vuitton? Probably not this much.

  I was hoping for a rendition of “House of the Rising Sun” only sung with “House of the Louis Vuitton” lyrics. :)

  Knock-off of what? This trend of LV replication is worth far more to me as an interesting artifact of post-millennial urban culture than it is a signifier of the wealth or taste of boring yuppies.
