I think LV Monogram is classic and can’t be out of style, also I cant think of anything that beats it in terms of durability.
LV Monogram amidst the "Quiety Luxury" trend

I do not like wearing "quiet luxury". I LOVE LV canvas monogram and daumier ebene products. Nothing will change my mind.
I live in Dubai.
Quiet luxury what?
Wear whatever makes you happy!

I love classic LV prints - always have and always will 
. Trends come and go so you just have to focus on what makes you truly happy! I only have Hermes and LV bags now and I used to think my Hermes bags were “quiet” but not anymore since a lot of ppl recognize them now. I’ve just decided to carry what makes me happy without worrying about what ppl may think! My LV DE prints will probably be my forever every day bag because of how durable and beautiful they are.

I love my Speedys & Alma and their history, and LV canvas piecrs overall for the quality and the repairability, the same way I love my Longchamps for a fraction of the cost. I feel like it’s mostly those who only know luxury through the Tiktok “lenses” who are fixating on the need to be understated in order to be appreciated as luxury these days.
Influencers Shminfluencers <—Hi! I think this is an interesting question and post.
My quick response is "No" the Quiet Luxury *trend* has not influenced the LVoe I have for my monogram/damier pieces or my shopping plans for the near future. That said, I have recently purchased a few Loewe handbags and admire them also. But I was influenced towards those purchases not by the Quiet Luxury movement but by another LV PurseForum member who compared the shape and slouch of the LV Side Trunk to the shape and slouch of the Loewe Puzzle bag. (I am sorry, but I do not remember who posted that comparison, but I am grateful!) That member's comparison prompted me to research the Puzzle bag (I've been living under an LV rock apparently), and wow! I now own one black medium Puzzle bag and have a floral mini Puzzle en route as I write this.
Another interesting topic concerns how the Quiet Luxury movement might trend toward being "classist," which merits consideration. Also, I wonder how much of the push toward the Quiet Luxury trend is motivated by some clandestine marketing gurus somewhere to drive sales.
Before I knew much about LV, I was drawn to the monogram design; I found the repeating pattern aesthetically pleasing. To each his or her own: logo-less or logo-mania. As Polonius admonished his son in Hamlet, "To thine own self be true" (I.3.84).
Okay, so that was not very quick. I'll try again: Influencers Shminfluencers
Haha. You are easily one of the reasons why it’s worth to go visit this forum website than the more phone-friendly social media platforms 
I also have my eye on some Loewe pieces (Compact Hammock) and not loving my Speedy Garden Party (the loudest of the loud) any less.
Use and wear whatever you want. Fashion should be an extension of you, if you ask me.
I’ve never been a big monogram fan, but when LV has a tendency to make runway and very limited pieces in monogram, they end up being a part of my collection. I prioritize design/form/silhouette above all else. Quality is a close second.
All things being equal, such as a basic tote design, I buy discreet.
I prefer quiet luxury because it’s friendlier for season to season use, meaning I will “keep and use” until it is falling apart and can’t be mended.
While I do think some logo pieces can make excellent fashion statements, I try my best to be mindful of the social situations I’m in. Not everyone can afford pieces that can easily be several months’ rent, and I’d rather have people feel included.
That being said, I’m still going to keep and use my monogram pieces.

I like the quiet luxury trend in that it’s kinda anti-trend by being against fast-fashion. It’s the trend that always follows an economic crash where consumers aren’t always able to justify spending on clothes and accessories that will only be worn for one season.
It also means my wardrobe of plain, simple, classic clothes is suddenly in again.
To me, monogram is “quiet luxury” because although it is branded, it’s not “this seasons” print, so you wouldn’t be able to tell whether a speedy 25 was bought in 2023, 2005 or even 1990.
However, as I don’t follow trends, I couldn’t give a monkeys whether my bags are in or not. I like them, I buy them and I use them. And I love monogram so will continue using it.

Mmm, Quiet luxury trend. In my opinion I think it's refreshing social media influencers nowadays are resurrecting dressing with preppy and more fluid silhouettes with a bit of chic flair ala Ralph Lauren/Armani etc making it new again, walking away from their previous Kardashian spandex style. Times have changed and incorporating our Vuitton bags to bring life to outfits being a tote for daytime or a pochette out to dinner it’s great. LV was never meant for the faint of heart, it has been around forever and it’s here to stay. Birkins, kellys, etc are lovely, but also are seen quite often so not so under the radar either. Elegance is in your manners and how you carry yourself, not on a sweater or bag label.

I was never an LV girl. I tried a few pieces here and there but they never worked out for me. The only item I have remaining is my 6 ring key holder in the graphite damier ebene. I do appreciate the LV monogram, but from afar.
When I was younger I liked a little logo here and here. I loved my CC earrings and brooches. The YSL logo on my bags and belts.
But as I grew older, my tastes changed. Especially when it came to buying RTW. I'm a cost-per-wear sort of person. I tend to buy classic, non-logo items so that I can mix and match more easily in my wardrobe and wear pieces more often. If you see any of my OOTD posts on the OOTD thread, you'll see that I wear very plainly, mostly a lot of business casual, but I really like that look/style, even though it's boring lol.
I started to get a little tired of my YSL logos, I stopped wearing my CC earrings and eventually sold or gifted my brooches. (Still have the CC earrings for sentimental purposes)
I still kind of like a logo here and there but something not as obvious, like the Celine triomphe. (though I suppose that is debatable because Celine has been very hot the past 2 years. But where I live, I see a lot more LV and Chanel than pretty much anything else [+ quite a few Hermes non-quota and some quota bags] lol)
I think I'll still buy logo accessories (scarves, sunglasses, maybe a belt), preferably if the logo is in a smaller size. But as for bags, I've gravitated away from them. Doesn't mean I'll get rid of the ones I currently have. I like them and still use them, but I reach for them less.
I do not follow trends and I wear what I like. I think it's a little funny that "quiet luxury" is a trend, even though those with generational wealth have worn this "style" long before it became popular. I have been fortunate to meet those with generational wealth and of those from an older generation (generally pre-millennial) dress very conservatively. You would not even notice them on the street.
However, their children or children's children....hmm..that's a bit of another story.
There are those who dresses as flamboyantly as the noveau-riche. Why? Because they grew up wearing Christine Louboutin shoes when they were 2 years old and that's all they've ever know. However, there are some who are just as conservative and low-key as their parents or grandparents. So, hard to say.

I like a mix of both. Why can't we just wear whatever we like when we like it? Somedays I am feeling loud so I will wear logos and somedays I will feel like I want to dress down so I do the opposite. I think one can have both and that in my opinion is truly luxury, to be able to have the freedom to do as you wish. Now with all that being said, of course if safely is a concern then you should be aware of your surroundings and dress appropriately!
IMO, I don’t think there’s really a quiet luxury trend right now. Influencers don’t represent real life. They can say what they want, but I don’t notice any difference in what people are carrying. And it hasn’t changed how I carry my bags. Some people have more of a quiet luxury style in general. And others don’t. Do you. The majority of influencers project fake lives, and don’t do what they say anyway.
I'm the opposite of many here: this is the first time in my adult life that I've been on-trend! I've never liked monograms, showy labels, etc. My grandmother always lived by the "money talks, wealth whispers" mentality and she instilled that in my family. So for me, the turn away from big logo prints and what have you is just perfect. For others, it's not. I would never judge someone or look askance at someone who preferred monograms or anything like that. It's a preference issue. And when I'm out of trend again in a few months or years, I still won't care.
@SympathyDuet your response really resonated with me
I am the same age as you, and agree with your post.
