Mine started this year...
I've always liked LV but didn't really care much for it, because of too many fakes :yucky:
and most of the real one's I know are from my friends moms or from much older friends.:Push:
...'till early this year I had lunch with a friend and her mom,
Her mom had a very old Mono Alma with very dark but clean and even patina...
I just couldn't take my eyes of her...
she was just the most elegant and beautifull LV purse I have ever seen!:drool:
Since then I couldn't stop thinking about Louis Vuitton...:girlsigh:
I knew I had to have one...
My DH surprised me with one on my birthday last June...:yahoo:
I dont know if this love affair with LV would end or not...:rolleyes:
But I'm glad I have my LV babies!!!:love:

I got a LV backpack in 1998, and used it when I did overseas travel - never really had an interest in further purchases or handbags.

I'd say around 2001, I was so impressed on how this piece held up, and then I started becoming more interested, that's when I got my Damier Alma, and etc. etc.

These pieces are amazingly durable. I am doing a freelance project right now at JFK's International terminal - I'm seeing lots and lots of travel LV bags, both old and new, monocanvas and all, carried by the young and old, first class and economy- Just goes to show you how durable these bags are and the roots LV has in travel bags.

hmm... i think it started when i was only 16. my dad brought me there to get a birthday present for my mom. & he asked if i wanted anything. i was in high school so i chose the monogram messenger & a belt. then the rest was history. i kept on buying & buying etc..... lol:yahoo:

I used to hate anything Louis Vuitton; I always thought it was overrated. The only bag that I loved was the cherry blossom pochette, and I really wanted to get it in 2003, but being a high school sophomore without a job, I had only...$289 in my bank account, lol.
When my guy friend bought his wapity back in March 2006, I went with him and we started looking at LV together online. At first I only had my eyes on the jewelry, but it was too expensive so I stopped looking. Then after I turned 18 and got a credit card, eBay account, and a good-paying part time job that I've had for two years, I started looking for the cherry blossom pochette and bought one off eBay. After that, I thought I'd stop but I started looking at the monogram stuff too. After buying my CB pochette, I was hooked.

I've always really liked them, but didn't really take the plunge until I found tPF. It's as addicting as LV itself! Now I just find myself buying more and more and being in total love with my bags and accessories! :love:

Since I was a little girl watching "old" movies with my mom. The glamorous ladies in the 30s & 40s films always seemed to have LV trunks & steamers. In my all time favorite film "Midnight" Claudette Colbert is gifted with a new wardrobe delivered in an LV trunk, I never stood a chance of resisting LV after seeing that.

I always thought LV was the height of cheesiness...until I came here! I blame all of you! :P

I started lurking on the LV forum in April, and was fascinated by all the different shapes and sizes. I absorbed as much info as I could, got brave enough to post in May, and learned some history. It's been downhill from there:
June - my first LV Speedy baby came along....
July - my second keeper, another Speedy...
August - an accessory...
September - two small accessories adopted...
October - a beautiful Manhattan babylove :heart::heart: came to me...
Today - my new baby :love: was just delivered today, and is waiting for me at home!

I need to be done until the spring now, but I feel so fortunate that I've been able to do this. It's been a fun ride, and I have lots of LV babies to love in the meantime.

That's kind of hard for me to say because I got my first LV (a wallet) after going through the entire mall and not finding anything I liked. I went into LV for the heck of it, and they had THE perfect wallet. It was $175 in 1990, and I gagged at the price. When I saw over the months that it didn't show any wear, and I ended up selling the line, I was kind of hooked. I don't want anything and everything LV, but I would like a couple of more purses. BTW, the wallet still looks great after 16 years.

I fell in love with LV in..junior year of high school after seeing my friend receive a monogram pochette for christmas. That's when I bought my first Monogram Pochette (later sold to so I could get the Cerises Pochette). Unfortunately, my LV collection has not expanded since. The only other thing I have is the Ludlow Vernis wallet in white. BUT.. I must get something from the Damier Azur collection! I've been thinking about it non-stop!
