Hard to break away from LV ???

I was at the LV store today, and I took one GIANT leap toward breaking away from the brand. I'll still love my wallet and Babylone tote, and the checkbook cover and card holder as well, but I think they've lost me as a customer with the new price hike. There's NO reason to have two a year, and when you're looking at 3% or so one time, and the expected 7% on June 1, that's too much. They got $990 out of me for the Babylone, but that may well be the last just as I was contemplating more purchases.
I always find myself going back and with all these price hikes, I wish I had invested in more pieces when money was less of an issue in my life.
I've been buying ALL LV for the past 5 years and I would switch between styles but stay loyal to the brand.
This year I decided I wanted something on the trendier side so I invested in a Botkier and a Kooba...I kicked around spending the $1K+ on a Chloe Paddy but I just couldn't find any way to justify that amount of money on a bag that I truly believe will be a passing trend.
LV is expensive and they don't make it easier when they keep raising the prices, but at last I feel like I'm getting my money's worth because I can carry these bags 10 years from now and they will never look dated.

We only have the one store here that sells designer bags and has an LV counter. I always seem to go to the LV counter first and spend all my money there. I'm slowly learning to go to the purse section first and then make my way to the LV counter. I love LV and have more LV in my collection than anything else. I like other brands too, but I always seem to favor LV and Marc Jacobs. I just really like most of Marc Jacobs designs. He's a bad man! 
I hear ya! This is where I was a couple of years ago. I sold off all my Coach bags and started buying LV. Then...the Hermes bug bit me and I'm in big trouble....but I still like LV!
You said it! After a LV purchase I tell myself it's time to hit the breaks, but I keep coming back cuz they released limited editions or seasonal colors to keep my wallet busy. I've been trying to break away to get some Fendi and more B. Bags but I just can't stop with some of the LV line! First is the bag that pulls me in, then the matching shoes follow... then there are all the accessories like scarves and belts, and then more shoes... *SIGH*!!! ^_^
