Welcome Back Readers,

There has been a certain image floating around the internet recently. It was an image of a model on a runway holding a bag that directly resembles the Ghana must-go shopping bag with a Louis Vuitton logo imprinted on it. This bag is allegedly a newly released item by the French designer brand Louis Vuitton, and it is retailing for £3,000.

The moment that this image surfaced online, there was a public uproar over the picture and the price of the bag. When an individual could go to their local African supermart or Amazon and purchase the bag for less than £17.

Some people claimed that it was cultural appropriation and that Louis Vuitton had taken inspiration from yet another African country and did not provide them with the proper acknowledgment of where they got the idea from. The other half complained about the insane price tag that was attached to this bag, which is affordable in comparison.

Final Thoughts…

Would you buy this bag from Louis Vuitton, or will you continue purchasing bags from your local African shops? What are your thoughts on the bag? Is it real or an AI-generated image?
