The reason why I LV is because it is timeless. I know that my 2 LV bags will not be out of style next year. They are not the most luxurious bags but, they are timeless and that is why LV won me over...why did LV win you over?
It is subjective I suppose from my point of reference I have a bag that cost more than 3 speedies and it took me a long time to save for it. It is not mean we all have different incomes ect. therefore, our perspectives may be different. There are women who own Hermes bags and would consider a Speedy a starter bag and on the other token there are people who buy 50 dollar handbags and would think the price of a Speedy is outrageous. For me my Speedy is my knock around bag because it is mono canvas and my full leather bags with fancy hardware are my dressy bags. I love the fact that LV is so durable and my Speedy is casual that is why fell in love with LV...ohhh and timeless is right up there for me...maybe not you but, me !well, to you they might not be the most luxurious bags out, but for use who took FOREVER to save up for one, it is..i personally dont like any other brand other than LV right now..hope you didnt take that too mean..
as for what won me over is the fact that it's just LV.. i cant really explain.
I fell in love because of its quality & its timeless. Its also a big PLUS that they NEVER go on sale . I have a few Gucci, Coach, Ferragamo bags & comparing the stitching, heatstamp, date code/serial numbers, etc...the quality of LV is really by far superb . LV makes a strong statement without yelling out "look at me" when youre carrying it....whatever style it is.....Classic, timeless, ageless!!!
