Coach. Their bags are all about that dreadfully bland Legacy line and thus, I find their bags more boring than ever before. I also hate the fact that they keep shoving this line down our throats, too. That is why I lost interest in them. Their Madison bags are much more prettier yet they get pushed into the sidelines. So sad.

+1.

I tried to like the legacy bags, but I ended up returning or selling them.

I miss the poppy line when it was fun and adorable. Now it's plain like the legacy line.

I'm starting to fall out of love with Rebecca Minkoff. I still love the bags - especially the older ones with such fabulous leather. I have major grumblings about their customer service (the way they are handling special orders is atrocious), and the newer bags are just declining in quality of materials and lots of the little interior details are being tossed aside. I will always love and adore the RMs that I currently have in my collection, but I'm afraid they won't be seeing any more of my money without some major shifts in CS and bringing back some of the great qualities that made the older RM bags so fabulous (when I look at the Made in NYC bags, I know they can do it!!).

Mulberry. Like many other brands, declining quality + skyrocketing prices. Also the new designs of recent years haven't been very inspiring to me. Here in the UK they are quite ubiquitous, which also turns me off a bit.

I think I'm slightly falling out of love with Balenciaga, mostly because of discontinuing various hardware lines only to bring them back as LEs in a transparent ploy for money. What I read of the corporate issues behind Nicolas Ghesquiere's departure doesn't endear me to the brand, either.

Same here with Mulberry. I still have one of their earlier bags and the leather is so thick and buttery! Not any more.

I am starting to falling out of love with LV. They used to be my 2nd love (1st being Hermes). But I went to their store a few weeks ago wanted to buy an ostrich wallet, and received the worst service! Granted that they were busy but the SA who was keeping the queuing system couldn't see who was there first! Got so fed up and left without buying anything. And their never ending price increases and moving production out of France. Enough said. I was going to add another epi Alma in PM size. Now I can't be bothered. Bought Lady Dior instead. Couldn't be happier! And there is always Hermes! Sorry for the rant!

I still love my classic LAMB bags and carry them a lot but so far, I've been falling out of love with all the collections since January 2009. There is nothing new that is LAMB that I need to purchase. A couple of the bags from prior collections I still would love to get my hands on like a Rasta mandeville or the checkerboard Hopewell.

I know. Whatever happened to Lamb's cute and edgy designs? Like they fell off the map. I wonder if Gwen isn't involved with it anymore.

+1 I was just getting ready to post something similar. I've sold off almost all if my bags and have only kept a select few. (6 I think). It just doesn't get my heart all a flutter like it used to. And I think the big reason is the CS. It's just insulting. And why should I continue to support a brand that practically ignores us.

Sure if I see a gorgeous old school bag I love I may come back now and again. But I've always loved MACs and I saw the new ones in store and the hardware just looks cheap.

I've also kind of fallen out of love with Coach. Which was my first designer bag. I've kept a few for practicality reasons. But in my area you can't turn a corner without seeing at least 10 Coach bags. I do still like some of the leather bags and I may end up with one one of these days. But it feels kind of like high school to me where everyone shopped at hollister or Abercrombie just to try to fit in.

No regrets!:smile1:

I am falling out of love with Botkier, Treesje and Rebecca Minkoff. Enough of the Made in China group! Their current designs, I just don't find appealing anymore.

I am out of love with Coach. The Kristin line brought me to Coach, but I think the Legacy line is too plain looking and of poor quality. I like the new Phoebe style, but still feel the quality of the bag is lacking, although I like the bag for casual wear. I have given most of my Coach bags away recently.

I am going back to premier bags. I still love my Balenciagas, although I am out of love with the City style and prefer the day and various messenger styles that I have. I also love My Reed Krakoff cadet hobo bag, and I am drawn recently to Gucci. I just bought a Gucci Britt hobo bag and have my eye on a couple of other Gucci styles.

I used to be a marc jacobs loyalist and I have fallen out of love with the brand. They just feel a little young and quirky for me now. I am gravitating towards more classic, classy and executive looking bags like Chanel executive tote, prada saffiano tote, givenchy antigona and ysl chyc cabas.

I don't know if it counts because I never owned them but there are two brands I am falling out of love with.
1. Stella McCartney/ I used to really want the falabella foldover but now after owning chanel and lv it feels cheep like it will fall apart.
2. Goyard I was very interested and considering purchasing but I keep reading bad things about the quality:(
