Alright, let’s talk about this Louis Vuitton medallion thing, or whatever you call it. I ain’t no fancy city gal, ya know? I just see things as they are. Folks sayin’ it’s worth somethin’, well, maybe it is, maybe it ain’t. It’s all shiny and got that “LV” on it, so I guess that means somethin’ to some folks.
Now, they tell me these things, these Louis Vuitton whatchamacallits, they hold their value. Like, you buy it today, and tomorrow it’s still worth somethin’. I don’t know how that works, back in my day, a hen was worth a hen, ya know? But these city folk, they got different ideas.
- They say it’s ’cause they’re made real good. Strong and sturdy, like my old cast iron skillet. That skillet’s been through a lot, and it’s still cookin’ bacon just fine. So I guess if these Louis Vuitton things are made strong, that’s good.
- And they say everyone knows about this “LV” mark. It’s famous, like that Elvis fella. I heard him on the radio once, singin’ ’bout blue suede shoes. Fancy that! So, I guess if everyone knows somethin’, it makes it worth more, huh?
- And they say these things, they never get old. Like a good story, passed down from generation to generation. My grandma used to tell me stories ’bout the old days, and they were just as good the tenth time as they were the first. So, if these Louis Vuitton things stay good forever, then I guess that’s somethin’.
Now, some folks are talkin’ about buyin’ these things as an investment. Like, you put your money in, and later you get more money out. Sounds like magic to me. Back in my day, if you wanted to make money, you planted seeds and harvested crops, or you raised chickens and sold eggs. That was real work, honest work. But these city folk, they got their ways, I reckon. They say you can buy a bag, this “Speedy Bag” they talkin’ about, and it’ll be worth more later. Heck, I got a speedy bag too, it’s what I use to carry potatoes from the field! But theirs is different, I guess.
But I heard someone sayin’ somethin’ else too. They said, if you wanna invest, put your money in somethin’ real, like a farm or somethin’. Don’t go puttin’ all your money in a purse, they said. Especially not one of them fancy $2000 purses. That’s a lot of chicken feed, let me tell ya. Two thousand dollars! You could buy a whole lotta hens with that kind of money.
So, I don’t know what to tell ya ’bout this Louis Vuitton medallion. Maybe it’s worth somethin’, maybe it ain’t. It’s pretty, I guess, all shiny and golden. But I’d rather have a good pair of work boots, myself. Somethin’ that’ll last, somethin’ that’ll get the job done. But if you got money to spare, and you like shiny things with fancy letters on ’em, well, then maybe a Louis Vuitton somethin’ or other is just the thing for you. Just don’t come cryin’ to me if it don’t pan out, ya hear?
They say authenticity matters too. Like, if it’s a real “Monogram Speedy 35 Hand Bag Purse SP0958” or whatever, it’s worth more. Just like my mama’s quilts, you could tell they were hers, no matter what. She had a special way of stitchin’, just like they say these Louis Vuitton folks do. So I guess, if you’re gonna get one of these things, make sure it’s the real deal, not some cheap knock-off. Otherwise, you’re just throwin’ your money away.
And this whole “investment” thing… I still don’t quite get it. But I reckon it’s like this: some things stay good, some things get better, and some things just fade away. If you’re lucky, you pick somethin’ that stays good, or even gets better. And maybe, just maybe, these Louis Vuitton things, they’re the kind that stay good. Or maybe they ain’t. It’s a gamble, I tell ya, just like plantin’ seeds. Sometimes you get a good crop, sometimes you don’t. That’s life.
So there ya have it, my two cents on the whole Louis Vuitton medallion thing. Take it or leave it. I’m just an old woman, I don’t know much about fancy city things. But I know a thing or two about hard work, and common sense, and that’s more than you can say for some of them city folk, I reckon.
