Louboutins, LOTD and a Horrible Shopping Experience at Louis Vuitton

We finally got exasperated with all the ruckus in our house because of the carpenters working and decided to go out. All the sawing, grating, painting, and smell drove us out to DLF Emporio mall. We were in a really bloodthirsty shopping mood today. πŸ™‚

Unfortunately, the first store that we stepped into, Louis Vuitton, turned our mood off. The two SAs there, one boy and one girl, were ignoring the customers, saying that “we are busy at the moment” and were really snappy and rude. While we were looking around, we saw that they ignored a couple completely who wanted to enquire about a bag. Then Rati liked a bag and I went to ask if they could help us out. The guy rudely snapped that ‘we are busy right now. Please wait for some time.’ Then Rati wanted to know the price of some sunglasses and the female SA said “I shall be with you later” and walked away. We were so fuming with anger that we walked out. The other couple had also left already. For a brand which calls itself a luxury brand, Louis Vuitton has employed assistants who are no better than well-dressed rickshaw drivers.

Our rest of the experience was marvelous. We had an awesome time at Christian Louboutin- Rati bought one more pair for herself- and the SA there was so chirpy and fun-loving our bad mood quickly evaporated.

And I think I would mention one shop with absolutely impressive SAs- Tom Ford. Sorry for making this an SA post ladies but you HAVE to walk into DLF Emporio Tom Ford store and talk to these guys. They are amazingly cordial and friendly, VERY well-dressed, VERY well-spoken, and absolutely in love with Tom Ford, the guy. They would tell you Tom Ford lores and you can see how proud they are of the brand. You would just LOVE to talk to these guys. πŸ™‚

Ahem! ok enough. We had some quick bites at Cha Shi restaurant inside the Emporio. Enjoy the piccys and Rati’s dress for the day. πŸ™‚

    1. Somehow I suspected that πŸ˜›
      Rati, I saw your comment on the Faux Pas page also, I don’t like their brown LV logo waale bags but your experience of rude SAs have made me dislike the brand even more πŸ˜› they should be glad you’re coming to their store and investing so much in a bag or other stuff from them. I faced similar or worse rudeness with an airline Jet Lite last year. They must be fed up with their salaries and taking out their bhadaas on us πŸ˜›
      Louboutinnnnnsssss I am so J πŸ˜› are these as comfy as your black pair?
      Also, you look so happy! I feel like a different coloured belt would have looked even nicer on you, and maybe darker wash jeans or even white trousers, try those too sometime! You’d look really good…
      I need more shoes :/ size hi nahi milta :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: haha sorry long comment :toothygrin: :tongue:

        1. Nandini……..aviation industry is in trouble right now na….don’t go anywhere near Kingfisher’s people….. :hihi:

          1. Hahah I know Jomo, but this was back in November, when I went for my best friend’s wedding. Missed the Metallica concert here because of these bleddy Jet Lite idiots. There were still 15 mins for the counter to close and they refused to let me through and forced me to buy another ticket for 8k more. I was stranded in Delhi for about 6 hours. Then when I got on the other flight it was delayed by some two more hours :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: and by the time I reached bangalore it was midnight. No Metallica concert. To add insult to injury, the airport bus I was going home in stopped near Palace Grounds and some 20 Metallica fans entered and they were all raving abt how awesome the concert was :waaa: :waaa: :waaa: :waaa:

            1. oh just saw your comment nandini. yeah these are even more comfortable because this is less heel. πŸ˜€ oh!! that was quite a bad experience… may be just a bad day nandini. 😐 :hugleft:

              1. Ah that’s why πŸ˜€ am not a big fan of very high heels, would make my feet sore and also make me stand out even more, yahaan pe it’s tough, if I was abroad I wouldn’t mind.
                Yeah it was pretty bad, they spoke very rudely and seemed like they were taking their frustration out on passengers 😐 some 6 of us were detained like that.
                Did you buy any makeup Rati? πŸ™‚

              1. I hope so πŸ™ Gurgaon mein it was a disaster when they were to perform, ppl destroyed some millions of $ worth of their personal equipment and all 😐 😐 my bf has been a fan of them since he was 10 yrs old πŸ˜› bechara he and I couldnt see them perform only.

    2. You were talking to me na…..see there is so much happiness on your face….. :preen: :preen: :preen: :preen: :preen:

            1. I would only call for gosship.. :smug: :smug: .no hello..,.like give and take gosship No. 1, then quickly gosship no. 2….no bye also :smug: :smug:

  1. Heyyy Ratii..

    I just loved your Louboutins..! I am not too fond of shoes but this one stole my heart. :heart: :heart: and sad about that SA thingy.. organizations should pay heed to what happens when a customer walks into a store.

    Your dress is as always fab!! πŸ™‚

    1. you are not too find of shoes? very few women would fit in that category i feel. πŸ˜€

      Thanks. it was a really bad experience. It is a so called luxury brand. :no:

      1. Yeah.. I am really not into fashion.. it doesnt suit me somehow.. so I stick to my desi roop O:)

        But I totally adore your zest for trends, fashion and life, in general. Keep it up. :yes: :yes:

  2. bouncy bouncy Rati :puchhi: :puchhi: If I tell you that I have kept a similar print Shirt in my cart at Asos will you hit me?? hehhehe
    and honestly some SAs are real shitty.. they have no clue abt the brand or anything and they just want to act smart… that is the reason I love going to Sephora & MAc and I have completely deleted Inglot from my list. when we pay such hefty amts as LV & all we pay for the service too… Rickshawallah is a great term for them.. LOL
    but the new shoooz are sooo yummmm- both of them!!!

    1. floral prints are all over no bee , guess everyone is liking them these days. They make a simple outfit a little interesting. πŸ˜€

      The LV SAs sucked. really!

      thankoo.

        1. lol..

          Would you believe I and Sanjay once (not once, many times infact) tried to click pics where in we are playing with our baby.. she is in the air and one of us catches her.. and in like 100 attempts.. one comes out right.

          So, I know what pain it is to catch moving objects. You have SLR? It must be easier with that..

          1. Oh, I took it in the first take itself. But Rati didn’t like her clothes flying in the pic so we had to do two more retakes. Got it right in the third shot. No help because of SLR in this…you just have to anticipate where the person would be in air.

  3. i have imasiilar flowery print …but its a dress and its purple..me gonna wear on my bday :shy: :shy: :shy: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

    i loveddddd the blue and pink sandals.. like totalllyy loveedd :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:

          is that a dumplingg…. :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

  4. Bad SA’s are really a big turn off..many high end brands have appointed such snob SA’s :scream: ..dunno what they think of themselves..as if we are some gareeb bhikari..lay man kinda ppl..Absolute hate :spank: :spank: ..neways good to hear you had a nice time later..n love the sandals..and you really look much prettier in Jeans Rati :)) :))

    1. Snob ones perhaps I can understand. I rarely see them in at luxury brand stores. It’s the ones with bile I cannot understand. These two were bent on offending away the customers.

      1. thankies furr. i wanted a black and n*de pair from them. am happy bunny now. :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance:

  5. haww.. wht an unprofessional behavior :spank:

  6. seriously shopping experience can be good or bad according to the treatment given by the SAs sometyms the like totally blow the mickey outta us…..sad sas on d odr hand ur shoes :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :jaiho: :jaiho: :jaiho: and lookin pwetty as eva

  7. wohoo one more CL.. they look great Rati…

    awiiee I loved the last piccy….jump jump :haanji: :haanji: . your hair looks lush no in that piccy :teddy: :teddy:

    its always good to wear flats when you go shopping.. especially when u intend to spend a lot of time shopping out..

    1. yeah dipti, 90 percent of the time i wear flats when i go shopping. plus the malls here are so huge it is quite difficult to wear hels when you have to walk around so much. :))

      thanks πŸ™‚

      1. I agree too…and not forget those little holes and jaalis at various places….I do not like when my heels atkofies in them :hihi: :hihi:

  8. wow…another awesome pair of shoes…Rati…Do I need to say that again….ehhehe :puchhi: U are super super gorgeous as always :love: ……I just love the way ur hair waving and volumnising in the last snap:)) love the flat ones u are wearing too:) About SA’s well dressed donkeys… :toothygrin: :toothygrin: No manners at all….I am sure one day some Irite ppl will attack them :rotfl:

  9. Rude SA’s that too in luxury brands…. :scream: :scream: :scream: a BIG NONONONON :nababana: :nababana: :nababana: :nababana: looking cute Rati :teddy: :teddy: :teddy: u guys have goooooooooodie night!!

  10. o.m.g….exactly same thing happened to me around a month ago at that Louis Vuitton shop!!!
    i had gone to dlf and thought of getting a bag for my mom…i loved one at Louis Vuitton and asked the SA about the price and stuff and she completely ignored me!!!!!! i was soooo angry….but i had really liked the bag so i thought of buying it still….but they were rood to me even when i told them that wanted the bag….and very reluctant to get the bill ready…o god….even recalling that incidence makes me fume right now!!!!! assistants at a local stores are better than those idiots!!! bad bad bad experience!!!!

    rati, have you gone to abu jani at dlf?? the people there were very rude too…but i had complaint about them and a senior staff person had calmed me down…but at Louis Vuitton there was no one responsible enough at all!!!!

    anyway i went to mac instead that day to get my mood uplifted :whistle: :whistle:

      1. exactly sanjeev ji….plus its so irritating when the fun of shopping is ruined by such good for nothing people!!! i also left the shop without buying the bag. :struggle: :struggle:

        1. CKG and Sanjeevji…..I think joint complaint would be a good idea…..believe me, you people should go ahead and talk to the higher ups… O:)

            1. ya rati….it was baaad…and you know what…i had a friend from out of town with me…i told her that dlf was one of the greatest places to shop…. πŸ˜₯

              any way…ya jomol ji….that may be a good idea….but as far as i know such high end brands have two feedback systems…one through e mail and stuff…and through a sr official appointed at that or any other store of the brand….

              may be sanjeev ji or rati knows more… :struggle:

              if its going on for a long time….i don’t think the higher ups are concerned though… :specs:

  11. hey rati…sorry this has nothing to do with the post but i just remembered … do you know any other place for mac other than select city walk in delhi??? please tell me if you know….select city is soooo far from my house :specs: :specs:

    thanks

        1. thanks ankita and rati….

          but these are way toooo far for me too…. :headbang: :headbang:

          i will have to stick with select city only :specs:

  12. and lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvved your shoes!!!! i saw your collection in the blog and stared at it for such a loooong looong time without blinking πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰

    It’s like me feet breathe in sandals :stars:

  15. Hi Sanjeev,
    I absolutely love your blog posts… They are so hilarious… I just loved Ratis’ outfit, simple and stylish.
    Oh i wish i can have those louboutins but i feel really uncomgortable (read scared) in heels because I am tall (5’11)… So i can just habe them in my dreams :love:
    love the post… Love u guyzzz

    1. Thanks Fatima. Wow! you have awesome height girl. you can wear kitten heels if you want. they are small , cute and very comfortable.

      love you too. :teddy:

  16. I think Louis Vuitton should seriously use the whip for those SA’s. I mean we get royal treatment when we go to buy diamonds and of course gold and this kind of behavior is unacceptable. I really think and hope you take up the matter with the management of the store or higher up Sanjeevji O:)

    1. jomo gold shopping toh i am doing with you only. πŸ˜† πŸ˜† πŸ˜† πŸ˜† πŸ˜† πŸ˜† see see first piccy me i am talking to you. :-*

Lovely shoessss Rati…Me loved your jumping wala pic he he he….and its so bad about LV SAs!! :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: Can’t believe such brand could have this level of unprofessional behavior!!! :struggle: :struggle: :struggle: :struggle: :struggle: :struggle:

      1. even I miss not coming here online much and missing most of the fun…. πŸ™ but I’ll soon be fultoo online here after sometime!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin:

  18. Rati di lovely jeans and such cute shoes….and the last pic of u jumping is sooo sweet :toothygrin:

    really shocked to hear about LV SAs….but yesterday i had such great experience with the SA at the clinique counter(Garuda mall,bangalore) that I am in a forgiving mood for all SAs…. O:) I reallyy love that woman….every tym i visit i feel like ….someone actually cares…

    1. oopsi i also had an awesome experience at clinique when i bought that moisture surge spray. I want to go back and give her a peck for giving me such an awesome product. :-*

      awww!! i know what you mean. :teddy:

  19. Rati..looking good as usual…shoes :drool: :drool: :drool:

    hair… :drool: :drool: :drool:

    SA :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

  20. wowwwww..you look so sweeeet.. :puchhi: :puchhi: :puchhi: :puchhi: :puchhi: .this is just my style and I am gonna copy a lot of what you have worn. loved each and every single thing ..the faded color of the jeans is just right, the top is really cute nice and very summer type, the BAG Obbbbbviously i loveeee. :drool: :drool: :drool: .the belt matching the watch strap (dont know if that was intentional but it toally works), the shoes maha hi smart and cute..

    (sorry about your bad experience in LV :spank: :spank: ) sickening really..

    1. hihihihih you totally explained the look aruna. :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: yeah do copy. that would be quite a compliment. :-* That bag is getting so much love from me these days and it looks quite classy. I love it completely. :))

      1. oh the bag deserves all the love . :love: .so do your other outfits :love: :love: . sorry forgot to add that your new shoes are Fabulous :love: :love: :love: . would look great even with the jeans that you are wearing. team it up with a brown slinky top and you are all set. (all our creativity is oozing out too thanks to you)

        1. these would go with everything and the color is quite different from the other nude shoes that I own. it’s actually greta for wheatish skin tones because it matches up perfectly with the feet color as compared to the creamish pale nud*s. Thank you. πŸ™‚

  21. Whoa! I never liked LV. Somehow, it seemed terribly megalomaniac of the designer to make huge, ugly looking bags monogrammed with his own initials and then sell it to dumb, gullible public at criminally obscene rates. :yuck: :yuck: :yuck: And now, to top it all, they seem to have hired retarded SAs too! It’s disgusting when SAs act like that. I mean, if they can’t even treat customers right, how on earth will they survive? :waiting:

    Great look though! :woot: :pompom: Love the casual vibe and those sandals are :drool: :drool: :love: It’s amazing the way you’ve not just lost weight but acquired that hard-to-attain toned look. Totally inspirational! :woot:

    1. Why does my comment always go into moderation? :waiting: :waiting: Yeh saraasar naainsaafi hai, milord! I will fast against this! :spank: :spank:

        1. Searched in google/wiki, this is what i got
          “”Jabberwocky” is a nonsense verse poem written by Lewis Carroll in his 1872 novel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, a sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The book tells of Alice’s adventures within the back-to-front world of a looking glass….”

      1. JW, I have started walking and :jog: also recently. πŸ˜€ Thankoo so much. πŸ˜€

        I am not a fan of LV bags at all. Those mongrammed bags are such turn off for me. :quiet: I liked one sunglasses and was generally looking around. but those SAs totally ruined the whole experience. Another couple was also around and they dint attend them too. they just kept saying we are busy.. i mean what are you busy for ? :spank:

      2. OMG, JW… U r hilarious!!! πŸ˜† πŸ˜† πŸ˜† :lol2: :lol2:
        Write some articles na… Havent seen urs in a long while n I miss them :worship: :worship:

  22. Looking goooooood Rati!!!!! :yes: :yes: I can only imagine how difficult it must’ve been to get that jumping pic right!!! :woot: :woot:
    Ur hair looks great! U r using the FE hair range?? I eyed them for like half an hour at the store n finally got only the skin care… Review them na.. :))
    And as for the SAs… Grrrr. They so totally ruin the shopping experience at times :scream: :scream: Driving away customers by being rude is INSANE :spank: :spank:

    1. review coming super soon ramya. I guess i will shift beween loccitane and fe hair care range. They are working well for my hair. πŸ™‚

      sanjeev took that shot in third take. He is getting awesome with his pics :happydance: :happydance: :happydance:

      thank you. :-*

      1. Oh, I really liked the Sunrise at the gates post.. :yes: :yes: My comp was acting all weird so I couldnt comment :headbang: The pics r beautiful… It made me feel like I HAVE to visit Delhi soon :haanji: :haanji:

  23. Loved the shoes. :woot: Today I loved your Jeans the most. Its fitting you perfectly and your legs looking hot hot :drool: :drool:

  24. Love the pics…is that a boyfriend jean type vibe you’re going for, Rati?

    Not that am an LV TA, but now I am thoroughly put off. I’ve been a big fan of Tom Ford for one reason especially – his gorgeous film A single man – starring my heartthrob Colin Firth. So glad to see the store experience matches up! The loubs are lovely.

    1. shai i rolled up the jeans to show “off” my sandal straps. πŸ˜› πŸ˜› oh tom ford guys were real gentlemen and they looved him, his work and they were not trying to sell you anything but you’d so want to pick up considering how they were. It was and excellent experience! πŸ™‚

  25. Rati u r luking great as usual. U know how to pull off every look u wear… U’ve got great carrying sense. Totally love your style :inlove:

  26. wow, Rati u r looking super cool :jalwa: :love: that floral print on ur shirt is so beautiful the color is also complimenting ur complexion……u r,no doubt, a diva :jaiho: :jaiho: :jaiho:
