Does Louis Vuitton burn all their unsold bags? It first ran across the notion with this meme !www.fullpunch.com/random/28-interesting-general-facts.html/ > Every year Louis Vuitton burns all their unsold bags A google search yields lots of results but none of them seems credible. Snopes yields nothing. Any credible info?

I work nearby the flagship LV shop in Paris, and I am pretty surprised by this kind of rumours. In fact, there is a constant line to enter the shop, like an Apple store if they were releasing a new iPhone every day of the year. Does Apple burn unsold iPhones? No because there are none.

For the record, 2 years ago, Louis Vuitton had to close all shops 1 hour early during fall season, in order to avoid stock shortage during Christmas holidays, despite raising price (yes, raising already over-priced items), according to _Le Figaro_, a credible French newspaper.

I honestly don't see why LV could not sell all their production.
