Fashion house Louis Vuitton has sued the makers of ‘The Hangover 2′ over a purse carried by Zach Galifianakis’ character in the hit comedy. Executives of the French brand have filed a lawsuit against the movie bosses claiming that a handbag seen onscreen in the hands of Galifianakis is a Louis Vuitton fake. According to the legal papers, filed at a federal court in New York, the fashion house bosses are unhappy with a scene in which the actor carries a bag with a LVM logo and says, “Careful, that is a Louis Vuitton”, the Daily Express reported. They claim the bag is not a real Louis Vuitton and could cause confusion among consumers, the Hollywood Reporter revealed. The brand bosses want the scene to be cut from the film, and they are also demanding a share of the movie’s profits.
