A Story About Banned Ads: Louis Vuitton vs. Standards

Luois Vuitton has gained a fabulous popularity all over the world due to ingenuity of its designers, innovative technologies, extravagant ideas and bold experiments. Lots of men women said Yes to the renowned brand, yet there are those who say a definite No to the fashion house. These people are watchmen from ASA, or Advertising Standards Agency. They decided that both advertisements made by the company provide misleading information referring to handmade bags.

The reason is ads show a picture of a woman with linen thread involved in a long and difficult process that needs “infinite patience”. The text read: “The seamstress with linen thread and beeswax”.
