It's not as durable as it once was, the leather is much inferior,
this is way off topic but I've included some pics to show you, there is a metal thing poking out of the base of my clutch

The leather is peeling on the knot,

I've bought this bag from the store in Cannes almost four years ago, and I didn't use the clutch that much, around the third wear I saw the metal pin,

I still love BV, love the designs , but their is no doubt it's not as it used to be,


Yikes!!! I never thought it would happen with BV!
 
It seems that most are only buying all of the MK Saffiano bags these days, which I agree, feel cheap and there are just too many of them. It is sad that no one sees or notices his beautiful genuine leather bags that are designs of his own, that many have never seen since this invasion of popular saffiano bags that seem to be everywhere. Here are a few pics of some beautiful leather bags MK has, that you probably never recognized on the street. Many ladies take the charms off of them. His all leather bags are really well made and I have had some of these for over 20 years and they have held up very well.

These are all MK originals that have not been copied off anyone and he does have quite a few of them that many just don't know about.

I wish folks would check out his other bags that are not seen much. They are awesome! Here are just a few I am sure most have never seen before, I am hooked on his beautiful genuine leather bags. The only bags I won't buy are LV as I don't care for signature bags and fakes, of course!

1. MK Woodside Tote
2. MK Uptown Astor
3. MK Sloan
4. MK Naomi

Similarly there are lots of LV bags that do not have monogram prints... in fact almost all of their newer designs are monogram-free and made of leather!
 
For me it's difficult to say never because I change my mind all the time :D
A couple of years ago I would say I'm never gonna get an Louis Vuitton but now I'm eyeing on the Sofia Coppola bag and also a Keepall (not the monogram one, but like the check pattern).
 
I have answered on this forum before but revising my previous answer. I will never buy Prada again (quality has gone down significantly), Miu Miu (Owned by Prada), Juciy and Michael Kors for myself (since my mom really likes this brand I will continue to buy her bags as gifts for now). I'm sure I will keep revising my list overtime.
 
LV - Dislike the monogrammed Canvas ones, but the epi leather ones look good though :)
BV - Not a fan of weave leather
Balanciaga - too slouchy, unstructured but i love their studded sandal (so, I don't dislike this brand entirely!!)
MK - Way tooo many people carry it
Hermes and Chanel --- I really cannot afford :S
Miu Miu - Quality is very poor these days
Moschino and Versace -- Too flashy and does not suit me
 
Quoting myself but I had to laugh when i read this just now. I rather love "the LV stuff" now. Not all of it but certainly quite a lot of it
:p

I have two very lovely LV bags :D

By the way I wrote that in 2007, when I was still relatively new to designer bags.


I've changed my taste of brands over this past year and have learned not all of the expensive high end brands are that good.

I am sure my taste will keep changing over time a I get older and whatever stage I am in, in my life.
