What is up with Louis Vuitton, when did this stuff become popular and why?

i went to the airport to pick up my friend yesterday... i saw a couple of LV luggages... who knows how much those suckers cost... probably over 1-3k... and it just got banged up on the conveyor belts...

wish i had that kind of money...

even if you did would you spend it on that? I could understand buying something *nice* but everyone I have talked to think it is not the best looking stuff, and most of the people I ask are women who I would assume is the target market however I see more metrosexual guys with the stuff than ladies...at least when talking about the luggage.
