So, I'll start by saying I know this is probably not going to be a popular question, and I'm sure ppl will get all in their feelings / chest about it. But here goes. I, like all of my lovely fellow TPF'ers are handbag lovers. and one of my guilty pleasures is not only collecting my own, but looking at the collections of others [in real life and on the board]. So I have a few friends who are LV lovers, and there is something I just don't understand. For me, personally, having a large handbag collection is useful, so that I will have a very diverse collection of styles, colors, and materials, so I have many options, to match up with my very diverse clothes collection.
However, I've noticed, in real life, and on the board, I see, especially with LV, and ppl who have Gucci monogram, and chanel, they have different style bags, with the exact same pattern. now I know to each his own, it just seems weird that you would spend thousands of dollars per bag to mass a collection that completely lacks variety. I've asked my LV loving friends, and none of them can explain. But to me, the LV doesn't really match anything, and then the selection [in terms of color or materials] is basically 0, or maybe they have the brown mono, brown squares, or blue squares [sorry don't know the name]. and Chanel.
So, just curious as to what's the pull? i've seen some posters say they don't get the appeal. but LV and Chanel obviously have mass appeal, and many loyalists. Do you all ever wish they would be a bit more diverse in their materials, colors, and styles?
