I've been a lover of Louis Vuitton for several years now but I just can't bring myself to like, love or lust after these candy-coloured contraptions that look as though they were pieced together by a toddler let loose with some food dye, macaroni and a hot glue gun. The exorbitant price tag doesn't help matters and is more than likely 10 times the actual production cost. Recession... what recession?!
