Is monogram too tacky/flashy?

[inverved]

I think it depends.

I like monogram on SLG's and smaller bags (e.g. Pochette Accessories, Pochette Felicie, Petite Malle, Petite Boite Chapeau, Nano Speedy, etc) rather than on a Neverfull PM/MM/GM or On The Go tote which are much larger. I think monogram looks best in small doses.

Monogram itself, to me, is neutral. It depends on the look --- if the overall look is tacky, the Monogram certainly doesn't help. On the other hand, I have seen classily-styled people with LV Monogram and it didn't look tacky at all.

Perfect answer. Completely agree.

I agree with the above. Monogram on big bag is not tacky at all. Its all about how its styled. Imagine an all black or all white outfit and a monogram classic handheld Speedy 30? How stylish!!

Monogram is not TOO flashy/tacky at all. However it is very loud haha

It is like: I am carrying XX logo bag, please focus on me hahaha

Depends on the person styling it imo. My aunt would wear an ivory silk blouse with tailored wide leg pants, low heels and her old mono neverfull.. and it looks like the classiest bag in the world.

I think Louis Vuitton has become uncomfortably common. When everyone you see out in public is carrying the same bag, it’s very Stepford. I bought an Emilie wallet in noir empriente a couple of weeks ago and That will be it as far as my Louis Vuitton collection goes. I pride myself on being unique and unique is not carrying the same bag as everyone else. It’s not exhausting, it’s just having your own personal taste and style and not wanting to conform to the taste of the masses.

Amen!

I think If it's just one piece, mostly it's fine regardless of size. But I see people who buy everything Monogram and use it all at the same time and it feels like overkill to me. Not even a DE or DA thrown in for variety, just Monogram everything

The tacky one is not the monogram , the tacky one is the person who carries it. Nothing can help you if you a show off person or if you have a dated style or if you are tasteless.

Yes some brands or patterns can make you above of these by themselves but monogram or Louis Vuitton brand are not from these brands/ patterns.At least for now!

It's amazing how often I see Michael Kors' handbags with the logo in my city now. More so than LV these days. But I still love and use my LV proudly, regardless of what other people think.

Yea, if you love it, proudly wear it. You have spent so much money on it so its only you to judge yourself. Dont care what people think. And that confidence is sexy!

I guess I haven't experienced this much because with the exception of my Speedy 40 and my Keepall, I can't recall ever actually seeing anyone else carry any of the bags I have. If I wanted a Neverfull though, I'd buy one and carry it. I still don't think I would care if lots of other people also have one. It's kind of like cars -- something that a lot of people are passionate about but which doesn't interest me very much other than I like my car because it takes me from A to B. Just about every other car I see is a BMW, and I'm sure anyone can buy (or lease) a BMW. I wonder if car enthusiasts find it exhausting that everyone has the same car as they do.

That's why I love my Mini Cooper. You never see them. It's so rare, so when I do see one, I turn and wave to the driver.

I have a Jeep Wrangler, and we do "the wave" to each other. Some days I am waving a lot lol!

See I couldn't stand that. I'd hate to feel like I needed to wave back just because I had the same bag/car/whatever else people feel the need to do this with.

We have a dog (well we have 7 dogs but they don't all go out at the same time) and if ever we are somewhere that someone has the same breed they seem to think we should be friends. I'm never nasty about it always respond pleasantly but wouldn't cross my mind to wave at someone with the same dog let alone bowl up to them as some do. Same goes for my car or any other object.
