Hi all,

Long, long time lurker first time poster! Have always been an LV girlie, my first bag was the mini papillon when it was all the rage in my teens! Have collected ever since and have had a YK pochette tucked away from the first collab that I’ve worn just a handful of times. With this new collection I was inspired to pull it out and it’s been so nice to feel the joy of having collected thoughtfully and purposefully. The pochette was a gift from my late mom who passed from colon cancer last year, so this weekend (in honor of her birthday yesterday, a treat to myself) I stopped into the store and got a matching bandeau which an exceedingly kind team of SAs helped me tie on. Had to share, I love the look of it so much! Chain is an add on from Amazon lol! I also have the red/white card holder on the way. Loved the On the Go PM but really wish the sac plat had been more widely available, that would have been a sure yes for me!

This community has always brought me such joy, it’s nice to see people who share the same passion for daily beauty and aesthetic pleasures through luxury. Looking forward to sharing more of my collection and being an active participant round these parts moving forward!

Thank you for sharing your story and your pochette has been very well taken care off! Sorry about your mum's passing but this is definitely in memory of her. The bandeau complements the pochette 100%, what a great choice!! It's nice to have the same group of people supporting and being our enablers where our friends and family usually dont heeee...

I LOVE the raised dots. That’s why I love it so much more than anything printed. I’m Asian American too but I tend to appreciate western art, I think. But also what’s considered Asian art aesthetic? I don’t know. I love cute stuff. I grew up on Hello Kitty. Is that “modern” Asian art? I’m pretty ignorant about art. But if these dots are considered western then count me in. And if they’re considered Asian count me in too. I don’t care. I love them.

”Modern” art and design refers to late 19th century to late 20th century works. Anything made after 1970/1980 is “contemporary.” Art today is “contemporary.”

Hmmm if I were to describe Western vs Eastern aesthetics throughout history, with one word, Western is “structured,” and Eastern is “lyrical.” It’s a little harder to make generalizations with art today, though, since most works will borrow from various cultures in aesthetics and design. That being said, when sales are concerned, the more popular global choice tends to follow Western aesthetics -mainly because many of us are taught to focus on Western art for historically “great” works.

Ever wondered why Disney has never produced an “anime-style” movie or show? It’s because anime/manga is not taken seriously in the Western world, due to it’s lack of realistic representation of the natural physical world. Western can be thought of as a more literal understanding, and Eastern is a philosophical understanding, of the world and experiences. But do we really need a somewhat-accurate representation of the physical world to understand narrative?

I think Painted Dots is the most commercially safe. Through them, you don’t really need to know Kusama to get an idea of her work. Does that make it Western? Kind of. A Western approach to ”Hello Kitty” would be “it’s cute. I like cute. I’ll buy cute.” A more Eastern approach would be, “I like this feeling I get when I look at this cute character. I’ll buy it.” This is very generalized, but Western is more about appreciating what is front of you, whereas Eastern is about appreciating the experience. Neither is better than the other, but I wish more “serious” art programs also taught non-Western art, design, and aesthetics.
