BAG TAG
The Louis Vuitton handbag that flashes the logo prominently had every fashion victim falling over backwards to procure one. The LV craze has since abated, and the handbag has lost some of its exclusivity because it’s become so common and since other brands like Chanel and Dunhill have set up stores here. However, Louis Vuitton luggage still holds a premium over any other brand and recent estimates suggest that over 10 items of luggage sell per day from the flagship LV store in Delhi. Similarly, though Indians have traditionally stuck to the family jeweller, branded jewellery by companies like Bvlgari and Tiffany are doing well in India. The recently launched diamond-encrusted Cristal watch by Dior, priced at Rs 9.65 lakh has received several enquiries though a sale has yet to be made.
