A very ‘Japanese’ rose

Laurel posted a great story over at A Rinkya Blog, just in time for next week’s White Day (March 14).

If you’re not familiar with ‘White Day’, and if you don’t live in Japan, there’s no reason you should be, it comes a month after Valentine’s Day and it’s a day the guys have to reciprocate for all the chocolate they received the month before from nearly every female they know.

Well gents, depending on the ladies you know, and how much money you have burning a hole in your pocket, this year there’s a gift that really represents modern Japan.

This White Day, French fashion designer Louis Vuitton has white monogrammed roses for 4000 yen each (approximately $39 USD each)

The special Louis Vuitton rose is available for a limited time only and looks great paired with a purse!
