oooh .. a few days ago.... LV closed their store in one of China's cities
. because their bags didnt quite reach the CHINA criteria...NO little leather swatches to show that the bags were indeed leather.....CRAZY or what.. do the Jones keep up with Vuitton..or Vuitton has to keep up with the Joneses.......

ha, what a load. sounds like the local cops decided they needed to give their wives some new purses...

hopefully they can make a big enough stink about this in the national and international press that someone in Beijing will go to Hangzhou to clean house...

lol, yeah it's a bit rich coming from a place famous for knock-off's getting by. But likewise with peachey, they could of sent over tags of some sort.

I wonder what the authorities did with the bags? Since when did China set up bag making standards?

I like that style pictured in the article.
I don't get it.... the bag doesn't include a swatch, which makes them unable to meet the regulatory standard? Just a piece of material? How easy would it have been for LV to ship a bunch and attach it to each bag? Or maybe this is their way out of HZ. Oh well.
