Excuse me ma'am, but how do you pronounce Loewe?

To own a designer something, let it be shoes, handbag, clothes, jewellery and other fashinonable accessories, is a statement. It is a reflection of your financial status and fashion savvy (since certain designer labels are more expenses and more renown than others!)

According to Kimora Lee, one can never have too many LVs. However, make sure you know how to pronounce your designer correctly. There's nothing more embrassing than ostentatiously flaunting your Hermes Birkin bag and pronouncing it Her-Mes (is should be pronounce as Air-mez, mind you!)

Listed below are some of the common mispronounced designer labels:
