Scorn (N & V): great lack of respect or something that was believed to be worthless.

affinity (N): a close similarity or sympathy for something or somebody especially because of shared characteristic
Borth (of?) Hermes and Louis Vuitton are high end designer brands. Moreover, they are both from Franch and never go on sale. Therefore, these two brands have several close affinity.
