  • it's funny when luxury companies try to show in their ads the real (natural) beauty of things, when everything about their products is unnatural.

  • I don't know whether to like or dislike this, though it did succeed in getting people to talk about it. One of the most unintentionally funny things I have seen all year. We saw it before a movie yesterday.

  • I went to a movie today and this video was shown during the previews. The audience in this full house was clearly into it. So that when the last screen shows "Louis Vuitton" everyone burst out laughing. It seemed so incongruous---all that beauty, and in the end, it was only a commercial. One audience member burst out, "Oh No!" It was a hilarious moment.

  • @esthergrinnell I had to sign in and thumb you up... this was almost exactly my experience with my boyfriend yesterday. We went to see a very arty movie (which was great) and this whole artistic endeavour being used to shill luggage made us burst out laughing, too.

  • @thinksohard why it made you laugh?

  • Went to the theater to watch a film. This piece of film was better than the movie. One of the best things I have ever seen. It showed me more of myself. I can't explain why or how and I am sure I will be thinking about how I can translate it. Does anyone know who is responsible for this? I would love to know. Brilliant!

  • Can Anyone tell me the name of this?

  • lol this add only now showed in the cinemas before MI4 XD

  • Good

  • FROM REDDIT WITH LOVE

  • 1:08 David Guetta??

  • I have a little problem if someone would be so kind to help me, i bought a LV Damier Graphite keepall 55 from the Edinburgh store today but its too big for work (going to use for travelling next year), i wanted the 45 size to store my HEAVY books and folders of work files, but none in stock and i live far from the store and wont get a chance to go back until next year, is it ok for me to buy a FAKE damier graphite keepall 45 and buy the real one next year or when im in a LV store abroad? thanks

  • If it's not a bag, don't pretend it's a bag.

  • The composer music is; Gustavo Santaolalla ???

  • yes like u can bring those bags afterlife

  • good ad! But what does this  have to do with louis vuitton anyway?

  • @malvikakhadilkar people carry bags when they travel.

  • I don't mind watching this add before i can watch a random video.

  • vkontakte.ru/iphone_cases - стильные чехлы для iphone

  • What the hell does this have to do with hand bags?

    

  • Great marketing.

  • i need a journey ....

  • where will life take me? why is louis vuitton asking me that? nice ad anyways

  • they pay many dollars for a bag...and a nickle for their souls..lucky ones who need nothing to find themselves.

  • i'm in love with this ad...and i think it's forever!

  • @javicente2010 The ad is a fully shit!

  • An overly emotive ad for overpriced luggage to show us that Louis Vuitton's core value is .... profit.

  • Where will life take me?  A place Louis Vuitton can't.

  • all of the people who watch this video would change a channel when a comercial comes on and yet....... they click on this to watch a commercial. i can't talk i did it too

  • LV was able to remind people that even though luxury is not something easily obtained, it can be admired for its simplicity. Great copy!

  • *their

  • They're feeding us a bunch of crap to help sell they're bags. come on.

  • oh so beautiful music.. i can only play this video again and again

  • incredible music and thought of this video is awesome :) yes, it´s very inspirational :)

  • I love this video. Some beautiful pictures with some excellent reflective questions! What pathways will you consciously take to create the journey you desire to experience ?

  • @GuitarsFromHell so true

  • Whtat's the music in this video ,i think it's very inspirational <3 pleease

  • @wearehumansbaby It is a theme composed by Gustavo-Santaolalla, a recognized argentinian musician and composer. Truly inspirational :)

  • @bcbc112x Wether the company is terrible or not we should all agree that the commercial is amazing. Will I buy LV? Probably not, but I can enjoy this piece of art.

    Besides, it's not like the horrible people in charge are the same people personally making this video, it's most likely outsourced to some Ad Firm.

  • The hotshot CEO of the group Arnault overpaid for Bernini, imo. Of course what is in the price of thing, but the price is in billions of dollars, enough to save Italy fragile banking system.

    But of course the Frenchman knows fashion and have good taste in arts. The good life!

  • Magnificent or pretend to be magnificent, either way...

  • Comment removed

  • trendyfungus is dumb and has no class! Yayy! LV!

  • @headlandsa I think everyone likes the commercial because of the beauty of it. Most of us don't even pay attention to what its for. Just enjoy how inspirational the COMMERCIAL is and not the company endorsing it. Be happy!

  • @headlandsa bitter and cold much?

  • Not a big fan of Louis Vuitton but i love this commercial!! I kinda wanna get a tattoo that says "A journey shows us not only the world,bu how we fit in it" Love that quote<3

  • lol, i like how adverts hav e nooooooooooooothing to do with the product, kinda funny.

  • Life's Journey didn't create 38 people.

  • @lala10108 Not at Berkeley, but down in San Diego at the Landmark in Hillcrest. Erika and I thought we were going to see some inspirational travelogue or PSA about being a green traveler and we get hand bags. Kind of like going out for a grilled fish dinner and finding a lamprey still attached to your entree. Anyway, the theater was pretty full and I bet 90% of the audience just howled at that stupid stupid ad. F-bombs all around.

  • @courtlandistan haha were you by any chance at the California Theatre in Berkeley on Sunday the 12th?

  • They have TV ads now? I'm not buying Louis Vuitton ever again.

  • I love every scene! It's very reflective in its meaning. You see different countries different cities...and the perfect music and words...it all flows together very well. An A+++ For the commercial.

  • Anyone know the song?

  • I luv Louis Vuitton!!!!!!

  • whats the name of the music?

  • @ivankoval1 iguazu by santaolalla

  • @ivankoval1 iguazu by gustavo

    santaolalla

  • This is such a genuine, artistically gorgeous, and amazing commercial. It leaves the viewer with something, not just a "hm. maybe i'll buy that product." It leaves the person feeling better. What a real, real, commercial should do. Wow, really great.

  • this is the wankiest thing i've ever seen in my life

  • Q: "What is a journey?"

    A: I don't know for sure, but it sure as hell has nothing to do with purses.

  • your most personal desires are for sale.

    this is disgusting. you don't need an ugly bag for thousands of dollars to do these things. this company is rich from making life a commodity. what does that say about this culture.

  • @thegroke22 i agree!

    but their leathery goods are just soooo pretty! :D

  • This is the best commercial ever! Why isn't it on TV any more? :( Instead we have to put up with the s**tty commercials like Vizio Internet Apps & Sprint Mobile.

  • what is the name of the music please tell me please i need this music soooo much pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee loool help meeeeeee! thks

  • GREAT!!!! 

  • What is name of music please ?

  • @gizzly34080 : Hi... the song is A JOURNEY, by an argentinian music GUSTAVO SANTAOLALLA.. an absolute genius...

    Regards...

  • @gizzly34080 Unfortunately the song was made specially for the commercial, so it doesn't have a name :/ it sucks though because it's a beautiful song and I want to buy it.

  • @gizzly34080 This song is called a journey by gustavo santaolalla, you may not be able to download it because your right it was made for this commercial. but look into some mp3 conversions or recording it

  • Its crazy how good this actually is

  • I saw this commercial on the big screen on Waikiki Beach, sat oct 23rd waiting to see some movie, some documentary. I thought this is it. It's a masterpiece. My favourite commercial.

  • anyone know who made the music?

  • does anyone know what soundtrack this is, pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?!

  • Define yourself...by buying our bag!

    Seriously though, awesome soundtrack, deepish message.

  • As I was watching this commercial I was so touched by the words on the screen but as soooon as I saw on the Louis Vuitton logo I was somewhat disappointed and disgusted. ._.

  • This has got to be the most pretentious commercial of all time.

  • uhh i don't really care for the bags, this is a really deep and motivating commercial

  • It is a nice commercial but I really never got what it had to do with purses =/

  • *holds LV bag and cries*

  • Oh yeah real quick, I really don't like that brand LOL, I like Coach better, but it is just an awesome comercial.

  • It's the music that really gets to you, but the whole concept is amazing. I so love it, that's truly what I believe life is all about =)

  • This commercial is so touching. It makes me think of all the positive things I have done in my life so far, and I am proud of them, and it makes me realise that I am who I am.

  • This commercial is so touching. It makes me think of all the positive things I have done in my life so far, and I am proud of them, and it makes me realise that I am who I am.

  • I love love love this advert. I first saw it in a cinema and it blew me away. Imagine it - full screen, loud music that you can feel in your body, and the chilling breeze of the air con. It was magical.

  • I would like to have some LV product... just a little. It's crazy just a bag but what a bag...

  • absolutely beautiful and true

  • Whats da song

  • very relaxing

    

  • very relaxing

  • amazing !

  • fake and gay

  • This could have been an excellent ad for an airline...

  • that the mosty prettiest commercial i had ever seen lol

  • Every time I watch this I feel INSPIRED!!!!

  • i'm watchin harry potter atm and this took my attention.

  • Really amazing... :)

  • I don't like the commercial.

  • you can buy a LV keychain if you want its probably  the cheapest to get, only 250$

  • this is the most retarded commercial that i've ever seen!

  • @portusdivitissum Wow, you think this is retarded? Well, at least we all know who are not romantics on this board. Dedicated for all those who explore outside....and within........

  • @portusdivitissum Wow, you think this is retarded? Well, at least we all know who are not romantics on this board. Dedicated for all those who explore outside....and within........

  • breathtaking.

  • Wow, I would like to recommend a very good place for you,There are so many fashion items you

    need and all the big brand you love on

    ====^_^(bag^shop^on^line.C0M)^­_^=====.

    Like: Louis Vuitton Chanel Gucci Burberry Chloe Hermes Prada Fendi etc.

  • louis vuitton bags are the most overpriced and ugliest bags I've ever seen. women buy them so they can flaunt how rich they are but they look so ugly and plain. It's truly awful what society has begun to revere brand names

  • Es magnífico.

  • Was that model Judith Bedard?

  • i liked the ad very much and we can advertise by many ways and that's one of them louis vuitton don't really need a ad to define him self but he sponsor this idea of searching inside your self and find out that journey ............ that's my opinion

  • wow can't wait to get my hands on the LV backpacker series

  • Would someone like to explain to me how designer bags have anything to do with 'discovering yourself in life's journey'?

    In the meantime, Life, my twelve dollar purse, and I are going for a jaunt.

  • where will my life take me ?

  • gross and lame.

  • Comment removed

  • so can anyone tell me what the hell does the video has anything to do with a company selling bags and clothes??? Is it that I am too stupid to see the meaning and relavation behind the ad or there is just no connection at all so all the watchers dont get it and think "well i have no idea wth is it talking about so it must be really smart, so I am gonna buy it".....

  • @cuihao um louis vuitton began as a traveling trunk maker and still lv traveling cases are pretty iconic? knowing that i liked this ad and thought it was kinda refreshing tor a fashion house to try some abstract brand identity stuff.

    'life is a journey' blah is such a tired line but i still couldn't help but enjoy this so guess they got me - don't rlly care for luxury goods but now i have a better image of that company.

  • @cuihao basically for the high end travlers it makes all the sense. If you've had the opportunity to take a private tour you would know how much it costs. Hence highend luxury goods in a not so luxurious place. Those are my thoughts.

  • i saw this commercial before a movie about a week ago, and when the words the brand came up on the screen the theater erupted with laughter.

  • ???

  • This is marketing genius.... i want to hire this ad agency

  • The empty, vapid and synthetic-looking female at 1:23 represents the artificial materialism that epitomizes Louis Vuitton. The scornful, satiric message from the ad is:

    "There is a fascinating and complex world out there and there is also a company based on appealing to over-priced conscientious consumerism. We are using images of the former to manipulate you into being the latter and you are so stupid that you want to be like the 1:23 and give us your money for the privilege.

  • I hate LV, but have recently discovered that I have a garage full of the stuff from my great grand parents guess whose having an auction very soon in Paris.

    I can't wait to get rid for it all.

  • Does anyone know the song?

  • @bassem198

    I was wondering the same thing, to me it's awfully reminiscent of an artist named Phelan Sheppard.

  • @AlbertoAntonio6 found it: Gustavo-Santaolalla did the music

  • I saw this commercial in a movie theater and I didn't realize it was a commercial until the very end and I wasn't alone. Once the commercial was done the entire room let lout a huge "Ohhh!". It's absolutely stunning. more pathos, than product got it burned into my memory. Way to go LV =)

  • bravo~~

  • Is everyone asking what this has to do with LV really that stupid? LV makes bags and luggage. God, it's not quantum physics.

  • The message is touching. But what does LV have to do with it? Then again, I suppose that's what marketers do; they connect values, sentiments, and images we all espouse to their products to boost their sales.

  • jameister12345 tha't exactly what they're trying to do....and usually it works! i love the commercial anyway.... LV ♥

  • dude... this commercial makes me want a LV bag... and im a guy!

  • nothing wrong with a guy holding a LV bag. just make sure its not made for females...

  • @jonnyfamos69  I think they make man bags. But anyhow I agree lol

  • I have the damier graphite daniel mm bag. Very masculin and its a messenger bag

  • ahahahaa

    That one guy said "Hoodrats"

    ahahahahaa

    That's not politically correct, is it?

  • what a bullshit

  • how would u know if i am nobody? you don't even know me

  • LV<3

  • beautiful

  • if jay-z or any rap star rap's about a brand it means it is no longer cool and has become main stream. martin margie is not a designer i associate with rappers. Louis vuitton does have a tacky image when it comes to bags and if comepared to music would be considered as pop music . there bags are not avante garde in anyway. however, recently they have manage to shake of the tacky image due to sucess of clothing line.

  • fabolous - throw it in the bag

  • louis vuitton is far bigger than jay z or any other temporary pop bullshit... marc Jacobs has refreshed part of the brand to keep it popular with a very small select group... but the people who have been buying and collecting it for decades know what its really about... a company with a vivid beautiful story and unsurpassed quality. There are people (hoodrats) who buy it because they think it makes them look hot...and then there are the people that it was designed for... i.e. Classic people.....

  • I could not have said it any better myself

  • TELLEM  lol

  • same thing with gucci, i hate what it's become because og the music, and now know one really knows what gucci really is anymore

  • what u think means nothing. lol! youre a nobody

  • why dont you peolple listen to rap? vuitton is no doubt qualtiy baller goods. but when people like jay-z (forbes billionaire for those who dont kno) rap about wearing martin margelia(hermes designer) you kno thats whats hott at them time. Vuitton comes off more baller cause thats what people see and kno

  • forget the mark, live this commercial

  • I always wanted something from LV, but even if I did save up, my parents wouldn't let me buy anything from there. They think it's a waste of money. xD

  • This commercial makes me tear up, it's crazy. :')

    I'm gonna buy a Louis Vuitton bag the first chance i get like really, i don't care if i have to save up for half a year.

  • aww. agreed! i used to have one...but some bad events occured and It's lost somewhere...=\ sort of saddening, but it was an object..not a person. though I've lost a lot of those, also. I hope you get yours! I really do. Hope everything's going well.

  • @TheCtBoy haha marketing win aparently!

  • Wow this is an awesome commercial!!!

  • The person who said it is better to carry a Birkin than a LV is crazy, i work in advertising so please hold the "do your research"combacks bc i get paid for that. LV is more popular bc it is connected to style and youth. Sorry but you are wrong.

  • Who is "they"? Your CHEAP tabloid newspaper? "They" told you Louiis Vuitton lowered their prices due to exchange rate? ALL prices are the same across the globe in different currencies but same high-price value. Louis Vuitton rolled back its prices on the Speedy bags because its the most sold collection of LV but EVERYTHING else increased its prices since June. DO YOUR RESEARCH before providing FALSE information.

  • You don't even know why or which items were rolled down the prices. Let me EDUCATE YOU. The prices that were rolled back were the Speedy bags because they are the most sold products of Louis Vuitton, NOT because of your FALSE Exchange rate rumor. Every LV product increased---scarves, bags, shoes, clothes. I should know. I am the LV customer, NOT YOU.

  • So before you were comparing Hermes, and now you are comparing Chanel. The point is Louis Vuitton is a design company is that UNAFFORDABLE by the masses so it is considered a luxury brand. It's been in existence before Hermes, before Chanel and it sells more leathergood products than both. Just because you have many people selling fake LV in your country that does not mean LV is cheap. It means people want it so much but they cannot afford it.

  • LOL exchange rate does matter idiot cause what they earn is Euro. Do u even know how does the exchange work? They cant increase a price that has no currency. the price is the same cause all are based on euro pricing. btw there are already news that reports that Vuitton is already lowering price and they say it is due to exchange rate dumbass. Exchange rate matters for all MNCs. it determines how much they earn.

  • A Birkin bag only became popular because of an actress. The most expensive bags in the world are still outranked by Louis Vuitton INCLUDING your Hermes Birkin. Granted, the House of Hermes is luxury---you shouldn't insult Louis Vuitton just because you encounter too many fakes in public. HOW SMALL OF YOU, MORON.

  • When is vuitton bag the most expensive when the diamond studded Chanel is more expensive than any Vuitton bag.

  • louis vuitton has cheapen its brand when it starts to encourage poor ppl to even buy its brand.

  • WOW. How does Louis Vuitton cheapen its brand? They increase their prices TWICE every year now---making it more expensive for people to be able to afford their product.

    And Madonna was chosen as the new face of L.V.M.H. How does Louis Vuitton cheapen their brand when they are able to get the queen of fashion herself to promote their brand. Madonna does not do brand advertisements from anyone. This makes Louis Vuitton truly exceptional and above the rest of the other fashion houses.

  • true luxury never needs a pop star to advertise. Do u see harry winston using pop star? Moreover, Louis vuitton has become so common that carry a vuitton might meant that it is fake. and the price increase is sometimes due to exchange rate. BTW, what i meant by cheapen is that it is better to carry a birkin than to carry a vuitton. another brand that has cheapen itself is gucci.

  • BULLSHIT! Don't compare Madonna to your lung-cancer victim. Louis Vuitton made the perfect decision to pick Madonna because she is the epitome of fashion and beauty because of her pop icon status.

    Louis Vuitton products have been counterfeited ever since 1854. That shows how much coveted the LV brand since its beginnings. An authentic Louis Vuitton bag is NOT common. A fake LV is. There is a difference.

  • I don't have a single piece of LV luggage and don't intend to buy any. The piece is still quite good and inspiring. YOu can take it in whatever context you choose.
