{𝕓𝕥𝕡𝕗} BTS x Louis Vuitton

This ot7 deal just goes to show the leverage the guys hold and how much power the group holds

A power move and LV' reveal timing is impeccable

The way BTS moves is hypnotizing. Going from mcdonalds to LV in a matter of days.

It's wild how you can find BTS repping many things you would find in an average home: cars, phones, sim cards, clothes, luxury fashion, smart appliances, beverages, cosmetics...

Ok now I'm jealous of Indians.

My country is a 3rd world country and the cheapest plain shirt for men I found is still above $600.

Why the difference, LV?

a lot of brands have their manufacturing externalized in Bangladesh, India, etc. They're basically selling a little above factory price, as the transport costs (and likely taxes) aren't as high there as it would be in West. There's also a marketing strategy, depending on how the brand is positioned in a certain market.

Makes sense as I said before I really am not a luxury brand expert so prices I can only compare through the website so if stuff are less expensive in countries like India I wouldn't personally know.

Omfg lmaooooooooooooooooo

Believe me I'm proud of BTS and I got so much to say, but the timing.

Just recently threads were made to mock BTS for not endorsing luxury brands. Today, LV dropped this bomb

I call it Karma Express, rapid and effective

The timing is always on spot

how the hell yall knew about LSA that anti BTS site

I'm amazed by the way BTS and their management team work. It seems they always put BTS's values and career development first and foremost at every moves they made.

50 USD for a LV shirt...damn. Never knew it was so cheap here being an Indian myself. Surprising how every middle class Indian ain't strutting on the streets with LV cause that is dirt cheap even by Indian standards for even a local brand of repute much less the most valued brand in the world. Got to start gifting peeps LV shirts henceforth seeing how they are cheaper than most top brands here. I mean around INR 3500, that is a killing. Got to raid their store as soon as the pandemic restrictions are lifted.

This site shows how much pre-owned LV is going for in India.

Nothing here costs 50 USD, but even the lower ranges seem to be around 400 USD worth.

maybe I was exaggerating but let's be honest most of the LV shirts cost around Rs.10,000 to Rs.30,000. I've been to the showroom myself and have seen the prices. My dad's shirt costed around Rs. 14,000. If you don't know the price, then stop talking.

Also an average Indian's income is very low compared to other countries. Average monthly salary would be around Rs. 15,000 - Rs. 25,000 here is considered way below the poverty line in other countries. Just bc you love to disagree with me doesn't mean I'm always wrong.

I don't think LV considers average income of a country when pricing their goods per se when they are targeting the super rich of that country. There will always be that 1% of wealthy people in any country however undeveloped who can afford LV. That is their luxury market not the masses.

As some user said here, most fashion brands manufacture these shirts in India and Bangladesh. My uncles used to buy me clothes from Europe and the USA, and it always mentioned "Made In India" or "Made in Bangladesh". I used to find it weird as a kid, but I later found out that the cotton industry in South Asia is extremely huge.

I don't know about the 1% of wealthy population part though. ik my dad can't afford those expensive bags, but he's crazy about luxury brands so he bought a shirt from there. I'm just speaking from my experience. I'm definitely not that rich.

I honestly don't know how much cheaper they are there, but IF they are, this would one possible explanation.

I could see Anna Wintour possibly wanting them for a Vogue shoot and having them come to the Met Gala to raise the profile of this event since A listers have been abandoning it since trash like the Kardashian family all attend
