I was browsing their official US site (yeah, I do that sometimes, gotta dream, right?) and saw this whole thing about “Bracelets for Women” and “Fashion Jewelry collection.” It’s all very “luxury Maison” and “latest news from the Maison,” whatever that even *means*. Sounds kinda pretentious, tbh. Like, who even *says* “Maison” anymore?
Then I wandered over to the men’s section ’cause, you know, gotta keep things balanced. And BAM! “Sweaters, Sweatshirts & Hoodies for Men.” Okay, fine. But the description is even MORE ridiculous. “Crafted from the finest merino wools, cashmere, felpa cottons…” Seriously? Felpa cottons? I’m pretty sure my Walmart hoodie is just… cotton. Maybe. I dunno, probably a blend of something awful.
Anyway, back to the student discount thing. The connection? Honestly, there *isn’t* one. I’m just saying, if they’re bragging about felpa cottons, they’re probably not exactly catering to the broke college student demographic.
Think about it. Would Louis Vuitton *really* offer a discount to someone who’s surviving on ramen noodles and questionable coffee? I highly doubt it. They’re more interested in attracting the “comfort and style are not mutually exclusive” crowd, which, let’s be honest, is code for “rich dudes who don’t understand the concept of a budget.”
So, yeah, my conclusion (and it’s not based on, like, hardcore research or anything, just my gut feeling and a quick skim of their website) is that a Louis Vuitton student discount is probably a myth. A beautiful, luxurious myth, but a myth nonetheless.
Maybe one day, when I’m rich and famous, I’ll be able to afford their “finest merino wools.” But until then, I’ll stick to my Walmart hoodie. It’s comfy, okay? And it doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. (Plus, I can spill coffee on it without crying.)
