What a fun thread! Hope I'm not too late to the party!
Surprised to see a lot of people don't "get" Chanel quilted bags. I totally understand how it looks granny-like but I suppose it's been so ingrained in me that it's a valuable classic. The Boy bag, however, doesn't appeal to me at all and reminds me of gladiators for some odd reason.
Other bags I don't get:
Issey Miyake Bao Bao bags. They obviously look funny, but whenever I travel to Japan, I always see the women carrying these around.
The Diorama bags remind me of toys, or lego. The lock also looks odd and cheap, imo.
The Givenchy Antigona also doesn't appeal to me. It looks so bulky, heavy, and stiff. If I want a structured bag, I would go for a Celine box.
One bag I thought I'd want to save up for is the Lady Dior. Many moons ago, my mom gave me a Nine West bag in the same exact shape and I used it to death. I figured I could level up with the new Dior, but all the elements of it are just not working for me! The hardware is so round, the handles are so plump and also round, and the quilting looks dated.
Not sure how it is in other countries, but where I live, LV is definitely-- no question about it-- the most popular luxury brand. Not sure if the oversaturation is the reason why I dislike the monogram print, but I just do. Although in mini bags that come in odd shapes, like the trunk clutch, petit boite, and that cube one, they can be cute!

I always say never say never. I really dislike the LV monogram print, especially in the ubiquitous brown. Yet, just recently I found out about the new LV duffle and I love it, monogram and everything. https://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/duffle-bag-nvprod1080041v
I'm hoping that by the time it is sold out I'll come to my senses.
Oh my, the painted effect on that monogram is so fun! I think it's just the "classic" styles that I dislike the monogram in, because in real life I see them so often on much older women (no offence to anyone out there!).
And I agree, I've ended up falling in love with bags that I used to dislike. But, I suppose the perk of having to save up for months to afford a designer bag is that I really have time to think about if I love a bag enough!

I don’t get the Balenciaga Moto bags. The corner wear is dreadful and I hate the way the handles go dark. If I’m spending that much money I don’t want my bag to look worn and dirty so quickly.
I have been looking into this brand's bags and I made the same observations. Plus they don't hold their value in the resale market. It's seems way too pricey for something that wears so quickly.
This thread! Thanks for letting us vent.
- Balenciaga City. Ugly imo
- I can't stand how the Celine luggage looks. I think the handles are too close together and weird looking!
- Goyard totes. Ugly pattern and apparently not super sturdy according to some on tPF (I didn't even know about the brand Goyard until I came to tPF)
- Dionysus bags
- Hermes Evelyne .. Not a fan of the holes
- The Gucci mono print in general (brown/khaki looking one) I think it looks ugly. Which is weird bc I love LV lol
- MK bags. I buy his shoes but the bags are soo ubiquitous.. like Coach was when I was in HS/college
- I agree about the crazy process of getting a B or K. If I ever am able to afford that, I am definitely saving up and buying preloved for a color & leather I actually want!

YES!! Wow when I was in like, middle and high school you wouldn't be caught dead in a fanny pack! Maybe this is my age showing but to me it the uncoolest thing you could wear...
I hated the fanny pack trend, until I got the bunny one from Coach and I wear it cross body. Wearing it as an actual fannypack is a no no haha
I usually don't like monogram prints but this monogram is like the true old style print and I was lucky enough to get a catogram bandeau in this type of monogram old style print. I love the unevenness of the old style stamp printed look.
