I posted about the strategy change that lead to this film and with the accompaning youtube film here: Louis Vuitton does a TV commercial - about "journeys" switching tactic from glitzy fashion to travel heritage on Sat, 02/02/2008, in case you didn't see it. I know, the search sucks sucks but it does appear in the search.

It makes sense to me to play up on their heritage and tradition of travel, and play down on the fashion - those LV new designs were fun for a while but if they had continued on that path I fear they would o the way of Pierre Cardin in the late eighties. Once classic, then way trendy and suddenly the brand name was on phones you could buy on TV-shopping channels that had nothing to do with the brand. LV have too much too loose if they keep flirting with the fashionista crowd. (Ferrari is a brand getting watered down in a similar way these days)

Film is still only youtube, sadly.

(ps that's a really cute avatar you have.)

I couldn't agree with you more. Wise move from Vitton.

Well, you caught me (so I might as well publicly admit it), I didn't search Adland before posting. I did a quick search on google + a few other ad blogs, couldn't find any mention of it so assumed I was the first.
Boy is my face red... i guess my grandmother was right all those years ago, when you assume things you only make an ass out of you and me (well in this case just me).
So my apologies.
Check your inbox though, I think I can make amends for reposting one of your articles.

Cheers,
Brent

P.S. And yes I still am bitter they didn't use Scarlett Johansson in the spot... :)

For people still keeping track, Resumé says the film will air beginning this Friday on TV and in Cinemas (in Sweden? Not sure, their article doesn't make this clear).
