This happened to me twice recently.

First with the framboise vernis...my SA loved the color and excitedly showed it to me...Having a good relationship with her, I said eeewww, looks like a .99 cent lipstick color...not for me....of course fast foward 6 months I love the color, and have a brentwood and a cles...lol.

Take 2: The miroir. My exact words to the SA...Hideous! What are they thinking....even told my DH about it (I rarely talk to him about my bags)...I did waitlist a gold pouchette, for my mom for Christmas...months later, I am calling my SA to squeeze me on the silver speedy list, a few weeks later when I excitedly brought home the speedy and was fawning over it... my DH laughed, isn't that the bag you called hideous? :shame: who knew he was listening....and my poor mom did not get the pouchette...lol!

Anyone else have a change of heart?
 
I was never a fan of the Speedy...been buying LVs since 99 but I got my first Speedy (mono) last xmas from my DH. I got my 2nd this xmas (Damier) and now I want one in azur and mini lin!!!
 
I always thought it was too much for just denim, but now it's growing on me. The styles are cute! Still don't think I would spend the money on it though. Would rather get another bag. LOL
 
ii don't like speedy at first, thought everyone own one, nothing so special about this, plus i don't want to bring a bag out, but saw100s on the street

but now i end up loving it......and don't mind to buy more different pattern speedies
 
For now, I can only think of the Looping MM...I thought this bag was so odd and plain at the same time, I never thought I'd like it.
Then, one day, I saw a client at work carrying the bag...and really liked it! If I ever see a Looping MM on eBay for a decent price, I'd definitely grab it!
 
Cherry Blossom! When it released on 2003, I hate the cherry flower face but 2 years later after it already discontinued, I'm hunting for it and starting collect CB :shame: while I've to spend higher now than 2003...
 
the speedy.I thought it's grandma's bag,but now i have two. any from LV denim and mono mini but its growing on me the more i see here in PF.Now I have the MINI LIN(which is kinda similar to mono mini) i didn't bought it though, its a gift from bf and totally love it. The denim?well i haven't really decided yet if im gonna get from that line i still think its too pricey for a bag made with denim.
 
I'm so ashamed to say this but, I thought ALL LVs were hideous. I would go on and on about how unoriginal they looked and how you couldn't PAY me to carry a bag with some dead guy's initials on it. Now I have 3 LV pieces (in the last 6 months) and I'm constantly adding things to my wishlist!
 
I use to think all LVs were ugly - brown and covered with initials - but now I love LV! I think it was the Speedy - so common, yet now I have 3 of them!!! Such a great bag and holds your entire life in it!!! All hail the Speedy!
