PRONOUNCIATION

Many people thought they know how to pronounce their favourite labels name when in actual fact, they dont. And then thy proudly says it out in public and think tht thy got it right. But wht thy dont knw is people laughing and pointing fingers at them behind their backs. And yes i'm also a victim to this mistake so i thought i should post an entry abt correct pronounciation!

Agnes B. (Arg-nias Bay) or (Ah-Nah Bay)
Balenciaga (Ber-larn-sia-ga)
Balmain (Bahl-mahn)
Bvlgari (Bull-ge-ri)
Chloe (Klo-ay)
Dolce & Gabbana (Dole-chay & Ger-bana)
Givenchy (Jee-von-she)
Hermes (Air-mez)
Herve Leger (Er-vee Lee-zhee)
Longchamp (Long-shum) Pathetic me i kept saying "my long-cham" bag. BIG MISTAKE.
Louis Vuitton (Loo-ee Vui-tong)
Salvatore Ferragamo (Sel-ver-tor-ray Fairer-gum-moh)
Yves Saint Laurent (Eve Saint Lor-rong)

(More of it can be found via google!)

And if somehow, you find this name hard to pronouce but you wanna show your friend your favourite bag from one of th stores, you can simply say "Neyyyy, the shop @ Orchard one. The one tht starts with G one. G something something... aiya i type at my phone wait ah"

LOL

Love,
