Museum to Sell Louis Vuitton Handbags?

Care to go designer handbag shopping at the local museum?

Wait...what?

Not just any local museum will do, but if you're in the vicinity of the Museum of Contemporary Art in L.A. you can totally go do that. Or you will be able to, once their exhibit honoring Japanese artist Takashi Murakami opens at the end of October. From October 29th to February 11th the museum will have high-end Louis Vuitton handbags and other pricey leather goods available for sale.

The explanation? Some say that in general with museums lately "the lines between commerce and pure art are increasingly blurred." Yeah, that's pretty blurry.

LV bags are a sad story. I used to love them so much. Apparently so did everyone else, particularly people who could not afford them. Knock offs are everywhere and the brand has suffered a lot at the hands of low-class people wanting to be luxurious too. Does anyone really take the Louis Vuitton label seriously anymore? Even though I can tell the difference between real and fake, I've just about given up completely on LV because of all the fakery floating around. I can tell the difference but I worry that others can't and might think MY real LV is a fake. They're just so notoriously ripped off now. Good grief, why can't low class people just NOT imitate what they can't afford. It actually angers me somewhat.
