My ex-coworker/very good friend. She used to buy LV and I just hang out with her after work. I was able to see and touch what an LV bag is. I have no idea what LV was before. That was more than 20 years ago. I now have a huge collection and I always tell my friend this is her fault for getting me addicted. :lol:

It’s more like, Who? My mother. She got her first LV back in 79-80. She added to her collection over time. I decided I wanted one, too, and got one for my HS graduation. I’ve been hooked ever since and it’s been over 34 years. My Mom and I both aren’t looking to cure our addiction…

I bought a counterfeit Pochette Accessoires. At the time I did not know anything about Louis Vuitton, counterfeit handbags or luxury designer handbags for that matter. I really loved that bag until someone told me it was a counterfeit and educated me on Louis Vuitton. I started researching Louis Vuitton and Gucci on the purseforum and YouTube. I walked into my first LV boutique in 2015, purchased my beloved Artsy and haven't looked back.

Mine started a few years ago. I was in a department store which had a luxury consignment corner in the handbag section. Up until then, I was 100% a Coach girl, but wandered over just to have a look.

...and there "IT" was...sitting on a table with a few other pre-loved LV bags. At that moment, the skies opened, angels started to sing, a unicorn pranced by me and I fell madly, deeply in love with the LV Artsy MM in Monogram. Being completely unaware of LV prices, I wiped a tear from my eye after I looked at the price tag and silently stepped away. But that was the start of my love affair with LV.

And I did eventually get my Artsy...and a few more.

Hopefully you have a wry smile when you see the price of an Artsy now compared to what you probably paid!
