Girl Shopping

What surprises me most about NYC is its number of shopping place. From Time Square, the fifth avenue and century21, all the choices are there in this huge city. As of this day, we decided to do some little shopping instead of visiting a touristic place. However, it wasn’t any kind of shopping. It was girl-shopping -_-. Yep Helena wanted to visit some luxury brand such as “Louis Viton”, “Burberry” and Sonia Riquel. As for as I am concerned, I am not into that kind of brand so I guess it is the opportunity for me to learn some piece of info on how they became famous. How did they start and so on.

First we went to Louis Viton. This latter is mostly know for its bag. Girls are really crazy about it. One of its famous products is about 30 year old and they still sell it. It is just a simple bag with no extra pocket inside: The speedy. What is interesting about “Louis Viton is that he didn’t start business by selling bags”. He first sold trunks, those big rectangle boxes where you can put anything in. It was used long time ago by archeologists. Indeed, they had to put minerals and travel on car pulled by a horse. Thanks to this idea of “box in the back of the car”, car trunks were born.

Even though I’m not a fan of bag shopping, if I can learn some piece of history, then it’s totally worth it.
