I love to read all of your replies!!!! I do tend to forget about wearing many of my older LV's. I went on a buying spree over many years and purchased many Monogram and Damier patterns. Now I mostly wear the epi noir LV's that I have that are probably at least 10 years old. I wear the Alma PM-epi noir, Alma BB epi noir and the Brea MM epi noir. The reason is- I mostly wear silver jewelry and like to match the color of the metals with my jewelry and handbags. Although I love my Mono's and Damier's they sit on a shelf-unworn. I do not see any new LV's that I like with silver hardware to buy. To-balen.girl-Your Speedy is soooooo beautiful and well cared for!!!!!
 
I don’t have anything really old, other than my Amazone which is from the early 90s. However, my favourite LV bags are from a number of years ago. My Monogramouflage Speedy from 2008, my Brooklyn PM which I believe is from 2010, my Porte Document Vertical from 2007… in fact pretty much all my bags are from several years ago, and I plan to enjoy them for many years to come. The newer designs generally don’t appeal to me very much (with some exceptions!)

I took this photo a few days ago while spring cleaning my closet. I guess the only recent-ish bags I have in my collection are my Josh backpack and Mon Monogram Speedy.

I don’t see anything in your collection I don’t want for myself! Perfect edit!

Oh wow you have an amazing collection! :tup:. How i miss my damier beaubourg :crybaby:.One of the bags that i regret selling. I sold it because i got annoyed it cant stand on its own when its on the floor and that lts a bit too high to put under the seat on the plane. I dont know why I sold it that time instead of finding other solutions to the problems :facepalm:
 
When I first got on eBay back in 2001, I bought a Cartochiere. I had no idea about date codes and such. I wore the bag for a bit and put it away. In 2021, I decided to give it a new life thru New Vintage Handbags And have it adorned with a design. Turns out, this bag is pre-date code era, in other words, at least prior to 1982. Here is a photo of the work they did. They were suggesting a replacement strap in this photo and that is why there are 3 extra (non LV, obviously) straps.
