Designer Brands You Will Never Buy

After wanting this bag forever, I went to Nordstroms to look at it and I decided I hated it. It's the Longchamp Le Pliage. It just looked odd on me and in person. Some people can pull it off but alas I cannot.
I know!! So many of the my friends have been carrying it as their default bag. I get that it's nylon and they can throw it around without a care, but I've never understood the appeal.
 
I just have to vent a bit and this seems the most logical place to do it.


I am so bored with Michael Kors! It seems like he has 4 basic shapes (Hamilton, Selma, Jet Set and Dressy/Sutton) and everything is some variation of size or material in those 4 shapes. I'm over it and want to see something new.
 
I will never get a hard canvas LV monogram bag. I can't take two steps without bumping into someone carrying one, either real or fake, and I can't tell which one's real or fake at a distance anyway so I just assume they're all fake. wouldn't want to carry a real one and have someone else assume it was fake, lol! so none of that for me.
 
Fendi Baguette - It's tiny!
Balenciaga Motorcycle - I don't like it when things hang from my bags either.
Chloe Paratay and Paddington - The giant lock and weird horse shape just don't work for me.
Hermes Picotin Lock - The lock just seems so awkward to me.
 
Chanel - for a multitude of reasons (and, I don't like her)
The Row - overpriced, what are they comparable to Hermès??
Rag & Bone - i just dislike them intensely
Isabel Marant - her style is tired truthfully
Gucci - Frida underwhelms me or worse
Givenchy - Kimye
Céline - again Kimye, though for other reasons too for both of them
Burberry - I just don't see myself buying anything of theirs (especially accessories wise)
Michael Kors - overall tackiness to the brand (could be said about others too I guess)
Juicy Couture - just no, never
Tory Burch - don't understand how she can be a billionaire doing what she does
Valentino - enough with the rockstuds already, is that all you can do? not very Valentino to me either
Saint Laurent - a lot of things just don't agree with me over SL
Jimmy Choo - feel like they're always going to have this vibe of being a cheap tasted woman to me
oh, and
Balmain - how could I ever forget Balmain (and the new Pucci I guess)

I guess I wanted to kind of vent there, idk. Worse is, I don't know if that's all. (⊙︿⊙✿)

Oh wow ... Out of curiosity, what brands DO you buy? I'm just wondering since I feel like your list includes all the brands I normally look at. :P

Hah, no way! Well the brands that I buy bags from, or hopefully will, are:

Stella McCartney, Marni, Carven, Jil Sander, Marc Jacobs and Marc by... etc., Proenza Schouler, Dior, Lanvin, Prada, Miu Miu, Hermès, Louis Vuittion, Fendi, Sophie Hulme, Olympia Le-Tan, Balenciaga (though I dislike the motorcycles) Loeffler Randall... and idk...

I'm sure that's not all but I seem satisfied with that list for now. :cool:

I like my Le Pliage but I don't use it as my main handbag. I normally carry two bags to work, my main handbag and a tote to carry my lunch, water, tablet,gloves, etc... So I use my Le Pliage for this purpose.
