Louis Vuitton came first on the list. Speaking of Louis Vuitton, I believe luxury brand handbags will come to most people’s minds. I personally love the core value of the Louis Vuitton product: Travel. Bags designed according to the brand core value are loved by people from all walks of life. And other products of this brand have become derivative products including shoes, clothing and jewelry. I haven’t bought Louis Vuitton shoes, because in my opinion it is not the core of Louis Vuitton, it is something that relies on the brand to create more added values. Therefore, if it is not high heels with exaggerated alternative designs designed by Marc Jacobs and something like that, I will not recommend shoes lovers to go for Louis Vuitton shoes.

Hermes, the most famous leather brand in France, took the second place on the list. Hermes is well known for its expensive Birkin handbags and Kelly handbags as well as its chic scarves.

I love Gucci shoes much all time. Gucci’s workmanship, quality, comfort and style are of high standard.

But shoes comfort remains the same, so Gucci shoes are still worth buying.

Fashion legend karl Lagerfeld has successfully bring Chanel up to the fourth place in the list. I believe no body can resist the elegant Chanel handbags and exquisite costume. But I believe Chanel’s handbag series catches most attention and Classic Flap and 2.55 are the classic of classics. In recent two years Chanel has launched several camellias slippers models under the theme of camellias. Camellias slippers is another good sell products after Chanel sunglasses.
