I'm glad I didn't get anything Suhali. My had my eyes on something but it was EXPENSIVE so I didn't pull the trigger. Yeah, the Suhali line does not hold up to its value in the secondary market. If you really want a brand to "hold up in value" while you enjoy it, I don't even think it's Louis Vuittin. It it Hermes.

I see many LV canvas and leather bags from the 90s that sell for more than their original retail price. But I agree, some Hermès products (the most "flashy" = Kelly + Birkin) retain and even increase in value.

As for the question...
I think some look very dated.
That is the problem with most bags that haven't received a classic status.
But it doesn't have to be wrong to look dated, with the right clothes etc it can be a reminiscence of a certain time.

The only thing that keeps its value is mono canvas.

First time buyers want the logo.

Agree.

Plus if you want your bags to keep their value, a pattern that's been around since 1896 seems well tested of time.
Personally I think it's beautiful with it's oriental influences from the end of the Victorian era with it's quatrefoils and flowers.

In France, we refer to that period as Belle Époque (1871-1914).

It's interesting to be on a worldwide forum. :smile:
One have to try to to express oneself in terms used by the majority (which I think is american?).
I also noticed quite a lot of cultural differences, even thou we're "just talking bags". :smile:

it was once the top of the line at louis vuitton. Today it barely brings any money on the pre-loved market.



Is it dated?

I think it's definitely of a past fashion era.



Is it still beautiful?

Pieces that have been well preserved still look stunning.



What one may consider "dated," another will consider a vintage treasure. To each his own!

Manhattan is definitely an iconic bag of the early 2000s. When it's in good condition, it definitely looks beautiful.
