Get your brands right

I guess at some point of time, everyone, male or female, rich or poor, intelligent or no-so-smart, has to have a lesson on pronouncing famous brands. You deserve to know.

Burberry: Bur-bur-ree. Not Bur-berry. Not Bal-berry.
Jaeger-LeCoultre: Yay-ger Ler-Koot. Not Jagger-Ler-Cult.
Missoni: Miss-own-ee
Longchamp: Long-shum. Not Long-Champ.
Christian Louboutin: Christian Loo-boo-tahn. They make awesome stilettos, so I should start getting it right.
Bulgari: Ball-garh-ree
Agnes B.: Arg-nias Bay. Not Agnes Bee. Who the hell is Agnes Bee?
Louis Vuitton: Loo-ee Vo-e-ton.
Loewe: Low-ev-ay.
Givenchy: Ghee-von-shee
Tag Heuer: Tag Hoy-er
Versace: Ver-sawh-chee
Balenciaga: Bah-len-siah-gah
Hermes: Air-mez
Moschino: Mos-kee-no.

... which is exactly why I'd rather stick to American brands. Happy correcting your friends. :)
