Eld, i have one of those, a gift from my great aunt. We call it the magic blanket because as soon as you cover up, you fall asleep.

I'm always amazed to see $$$ Louis Vuitton products. Vuitton himself came from very humble beginnings in rural France. He left home at about age 14 as his life changed when a step-mother entered the picture and being very poor, had no regular shoes to wear, only wooden clogs. He walked to Paris where he had relatives but they couldn't keep him. He got a job with a man making containers for transport of clothing and other goods, mainly for the Paris elite. His pay was so minimal that he couldn't afford accommodations and at first slept in the man's shop. He also didn't know how to read or write, only knew "top" and "bottom" to label containers. However, he acquired books on grammar and taught himself to read and write. He became very skilled at his job, married the boss's daughter and developed relationships among his elite clients. Later, he opened his own business and obviously became a huge success, although likely the company is no longer owned by the family. ETA: Apologies for being OT.
