I'm as shocked as you are. How in the world is this staple bag from west Africa now being stamped with Louis Vuiton brand???
Now i remember my family members and random people using this bag to transport random things from foods to money to equipment and now it is a designer's brand and cost as much as a leg or an arm.
It still baffles me how something so cheap and practically disregarded has become a name brand item. This can be found at most corner stores and stalls in Africa especially Ghana and Nigeria. In Nigeria it is known as "Ghana-Must-Go".
I just hope someone in Africa is getting a cut or some recognition for the pattern because we have been using this since way back when and still do.
I'm this close to getting my own bag and making a jacket out of it ....Wouldn't that be something lol
Damn I'm from Ghana and I'm so shocked about this. Doesn't this has a stiffness and weird feeling to it then how can someone wear them. Or maybe some designer went on vacation while out of ideas and saw this and voila? I saw this bag in a Kdrama once and I almost died from laughter. Anyway nice seeing I have an African to share my love for everything south korean considering all my family thinks I'm wierd.
