other bags.
I mean like sometimes I feel like I want to wear "cheaper" bags or
just another brand, for example Michael Kors or Longchamp .. (because I really love
MK bags as well)
but if I do that, after one day I just go back to my LV bags and need
to carry them.


Strange question, but maybe someone feels like me - sometimes?
:nuts:


I really like the other brands and I don't want to feel like I must wear LV because these
bags were expensive to me and I have to use them..


I hope you understand my english. ;)

I think we've all found our serendipity with a brand at one time or another. Sometimes it just lasts a few years and sometimes it's 'forever'.

Mostly I like Gucci, but I have a few of many other designers which I also wear very happily, I like things forever whatever the maker, no problem, everybody's different.

Hmm...I don't really like lv bags.
I own chanel, campomaggi, etc.--but, my favorite is mulberry.
I sling them around all sorts of situations. And they keep shining their quirky, comfortable splendor.

Don't know if this affection will last forever--I don't buy bags thinking they need to last forever to be great.
I use them, until they rot & fall apart. Or they become boring. The mulberries both refuse to die or to induce ennui rather admirably. :)
So, I keep returning to them.

I mostly like Gucci, there is something about them. And I don't like monograms but there's something the Gucci monogram that I love. It just does it for me. I also like Giorgio Armani. I like his clean lines.

I have other designers, I'm not sure I love them, but when I see a bag I love I will crawl over hot coals to make it mine.

I have more LV than other brands but I still happily wear my others! Two of my most favored purses are a leather Gucci Sukey & a vintage leather Coach crossbody [emoji173]️

But I subscribe to a pretty strict "love it or list it" closet philosophy. If it's not getting worn, out it goes! The only one I'm having a hard time cutting even though I haven't worn it in 6 months is my Le Pliage. So useful/waterproof....just not as exciting as the other purses in my closet. But if I did let it go, I could see myself a year down the line being annoyed that I have it away & buying another. So it stays! It packs down small at least [emoji4]

When I got my first designer purse which was a pre-loved Coach I didn't use anything else for months. I now have a small collection of Michael Kors, Kate Spade and Louis Vuitton and every time I get something new I use it for months before I go back to my others. Even when I got MK after already having LV, I didn't use the LV until I got tired of the MK, so for me it's not about the brand but about having something new.

Don't wear a bag just because it is expensive. Wear it because it you like it and it's appropriate with the occasion and it goes with your style. For example, you wouldn't want to wear a big oversize shoulder bag to go clubbing, you would want to wear something small instead. Or if the weather is bad, then wear something that can withstand the rain or snow.

I have bags from several different brands, some are very expensive and some are handcrafted from local artisans I got from my travels. I like them all, some are worn more than others but that is OK. If there is a bag that I no longer like, then I either sell it or give it away.

Exactly!

I think each brand has certain styles that just "fit" with people and others that simply don't work with some...

Thankfully, so many brands and styles to choose from! I would never want to feel obligated to a purse however, if i don't like it or find it functional for my needs who cares what it cost or who it's by? if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

Exactly this. There are certain brand-specific styles I love, but no one brand that ticks all the boxes, all the time.

When I'm out with another bag (even though it's more practical, more comfortable -- I would think, "I shoulda carried the Speedy..." or "I shoulda carried my Chanel flap" :D
