Labels



































I like this cup because it's plain. I don't know where this stemmed from, but I have 
a thing against labels. I can't quite understand my distaste for flashy, loud designer 
brands you can spot a mile away. I've personally never liked Louis Vuitton (I had to 
google "Vuitton" just now because I don't know how to spell it), Chanel, or anything 
you can look at and instantly recognize the brand through it's label or print. I appreciate
things that are ultra understated with no label visible on the exterior. To me, those 
brands seem to care more about the actual design and structure rather than their 
label being recognized by as many and however many. Really good design to me is 
something that doesn't need all that loud, in your face, shiny, I am this mega brand 
appearance. I am being totally biased, because I just love simple, quiet things.

It's funny cause my sister and mom like and own Louis Vuitton and Chanel. If they 
like it, they like it, and that is totally fine. I just can't see what is so great about them, 
an odd quandary for a girl to speculate, I suppose. I have yet to meet anyone who shares 
this weird perception and opinion on these brands that are obviously so loved by many. 

Then again, I just may be the black sheep. I don't like Disneyland either–cue gasps and 
disbelief–last visit to the happiest place on earth was 6 years ago. I know, preposterous. 
I am not sorry though.
