| Adidas History |
| Adidas was founded in 1924 in Germany by two bothers Adi and Rudolf Dassler. The company was first named Dassler shoes and later became Adidas. By the Dassler shoes being seen in the Olympics this really helped the company get it¡¯s name known. However, in 1948 Rudolf Dassler leaves to start his own company which is now known as Puma. Once Rudolf left his brother came up with the famous three stripes logo and changed the name to Adidas.
The 3 stripes were created to keep the foot stable,.. |

| History
In the early 1990s following his retirement from the game, ex Liverpool winger Craig Johnston designed and created the prototype for the Adidas Predator football boot .
In 1994, the Adidas Predator was launched, proving to be a revolution in football footwear. Players noticed they had more power, more control and more swerve, and that the shoe allowed them to strike a ball with pinpoint accuracy. Today, the Predator is generally considered the single greatest football boot .. |

In an era before athletic-performance gear with distinctive logos existed as a market commodity, Adidas footwear were the designer sneakers of their day. For several decades, Adidas shoes were worn by professional and Olympic athletes , and the company's distinctive three-stripe logo quietly sunk into the public consciousness through years of television cameras trained on Adidas -wearing athletes. The company and its clothing¡ªespecially the trefoil logo T-shirt¡ªbecame inde.. |

Here¡¯s a really lovely claymation video that charts the evolution of Adidas from Adi Dassler¡¯s workshop through global domination. (Well, maybe not domination. There is that whole Nike thing.) Anyway, Jesse Owens, Mark Gonzalez and, those anti-athletes, the Brit pop band Oasis make cameos. |

Fashion Designer Louis Vuitton began manufacturing trunks in Paris in 1854, and the company he started went on to become one of the world's most famous makers of luxury goods, known especially for its designer luggage pattern: a beige-on-chestnut monogram, "LV." Vuitton's high-quality travelling trunks were such a hit that he had to expand his factory within a few years, relocating to Asni¨¦res in 1860. As the years went by the Vuitton line gained international recognition, t.. |

| A little Louis Vuitton History |
| Louis Vuitton opened his first trunk shop in Paris, France in 1854 when he was only 33 years old. He began with Trianon Gray canvas pieces, and added Damier canvas in 1888. Louis Vuitton actually passed away in 1892. In 1896- fueled by an increasing number of counterfeits- Louis Vuitton's son George introduced the traditional LV Monogram Toile canvas that has since become a timeless fashion icon. During these earlier years, most LV items wer.. |

| The French Company Louis Vuitton |
| Louis Vuitton's worldwide popularity grew even more rapidly in the 1970's in the United States. Until this time, their factories had always been in France... but Louis Vuitton simply couldn't keep up with its growing market in the US. For this reason, in the 1970's Louis Vuitton developed a relationship with a US Luggage Maker- The French Luggage Company . During a period from around 1976 through 1991, The French Company manufactured bags under a special license from Lo.. |

| 1. Labeling...
Vintage French Company items will not have the date code that more recent model Louis Vuitton items have. The embossing will also be different. Much French Company handbags and luggage will have labeling that says that notifies the buyer that the item was made under a special license and that it was made in the USA. Most often, the tag is an almost paper-like tyvek tag sewn into a side seam of the bag. The problem is that this was/is a r.. |

| Patches...
There is a common mis-conception that authentic Louis Vuitton bags don't have patches... and this is partially true. However, Louis Vuitton has used patches in a limited number of circumstances. Some authentic Louis Vuitton French Company pieces did incorporate patches into their designs. The French Company incorporated smooth, oval plain ( not embossed with LV or Louis Vuitton etc. ) patches for the purpose of personalizing or customizing your piece... |

| Louis Vuitton Bucket Bag |
| One of the more popular Louis Vuitton styles today is the Louis Vuitton Bucket Bag ! There are two sizes... the Large (27) and the Petite (23). The French Company also manufactured a large and small bucket bag that are different from the current versions in many ways... The problem is that the counterfeiters did too! In this guide, I'll be focusing on the smaller bucket- although the rules are the same for the large. |

| Buying authentic used Louis Vuitton & avoiding the fakes!
1. Know your bag!
Was it ever made by Louis Vuitton? This sounds like an easy one, but it's not! I am a Trading Assistant here on eBay and had an eBayer mail me a black vernis Louis Vuitton Houston to sell for her. She'd bought it on eBay and I could still see the glowing feedback she'd left the seller for the $495 transaction. One problem... Louis Vuitton has never done Vernis in black!.. |

Soon after, the Prada Sport label was created, followed by a line of men¡¯s wear and a lingerie collection.

| The History of Prada |
| Mario Prada started the Prada label in 1913. He designed and sold handbags, shoes, trunks, and suitcases though two boutiques in Milan, and had clients across Europe and the US. When the signature Prada suitcases, made from heavy, cumbersome walrus skin, proved to be ill suited for air travel, Prada concentrated on designing exquisite leather accessories and waterproof handbags.
In 1978, Mario¡¯s granddaughter, Miuccia Prada, took over the company. Miuccia was a former mime who .. |

The classic Prada suitcase was made of heavy walrus skin but as plane travel made heavy suitcases impractical, the company started to make lighter bags and high quality items made of crystals, tortoise shell and wood. They also sold garments of waterproof fabrics to the U.S. However the company had gone into decline.. |

Fabrics - Miuccia Prada uses a lot of crunchy polyester, parachute nylon and other synthetic fabrics. Colours - she likes Battleship green, browns, white, cream, and black.
Simple destructured shapes, knee length skirts, her skinny belts had become the currency of success in the mid 90's. Her clothes are not exactly fashionable. There is no defining accent, just a grouping of desirable useful things in exquisite fabrics.
