Hi fellow tPF-ers, I'm a relatively new fan of LV (prior to this, I was never really into designer bags but the damier nf converted me a year ago) and I'm actually planning to make another few more purchases this year. I was just chatting with a friend about my plans but what she commented made me feel rather uncomfortable.
She said that LV is passe and that the really stylish people who knows their stuff no longer go for LV these days but are now buying up-market/ couture brands like Chanel and Balenciaga which are more subtly fashionable and do not flash logos. She herself has been "upgrading" to Chanel and thinks that I should steer in the same direction to "differentiate myself from the common masses".
Personally, I prefer the bag designs in LV as compared to Chanel or Balenciaga so I don't think I'll buy either brands for the sake of "upgrading". I'm also not sure abt the quality of these 2 brands. But I'd like to know what the rest of you think about how LV compares to Chanel and Balenciga?
