I don't like how Louis Vuitton seems to be trying to capture the hypebeast/trendy demographic with some of their designs while at the same time trying to capture the more traditional, mature demographic with others? I feel like the house is being pulled in two opposite directions and is losing a brand identity. Which is it LV? Do you want to be trendy and avant garde or classic? :huh:

Also I find most of their women's looks kind of tragic. There are some really nice individual pieces in there, but somehow when they put the different pieces together into an ensemble outfit, it looks... not good on people. I feel like there's too much going on, not cohesive, and uninspired.

Lastly, Vivienne freaks me out a bit. I tried to like her, I really did.

1. I think Capuccines is overpriced and ugly
2. I think people who baby their bags to the point of wearing “rain covers” are stupid and probably shouldn’t by luxury items if they can’t actually use them. If you are so incredibly worried about the vachetta... buy Coach or Michael Kors
3. Patina on mono is beautiful, patina on DA is ugly.
4. I HATE the masterpiece collection
5. I think Felicie is basically an overpriced wallet that can fit nothing
6. LV should stick to classic styles and not try to be “Gucci” and super trendy
7. LV shoes are tacky
8. Heat stamps is not super cute, and monograms in gold look ugly
9. Purse charms are over priced and not worth the money
10. “May have had a bottle of wine and lost my filter”

I am guilty of keeping a rain cover in my NF. It’s not the vachetta I’m worried about - it’s the laptop inside. It’s there in case of random torrential downpour. I’ve only had to use it once on a day when no rain was predicted; I didn’t have an umbrella with me. They look ugly but my laptop and work files were fine. My hair and suit were another matter. :lol:

I don't like the vachetta. Period. I feel like I have to baby it to tan evenly, always mindful of what I touch before touching the bag. I don't like the empreinte either, looks cheap to me. I used to hate the NF but after having kids, it's the only one that stood up to my kids' beating, dragging, vomit, etc. For this reason, I bought all three. The vachetta on the NF is cheap to replace so they're fine with me I am not a fan of busy prints on bags, not just on LV so the jungle print didn't do anything for me. I thought about returning my scam bag but realized that I have been wanting a coin purse and pochettes, and they were always out of stock. Never owned any before buying the scam bag. I don't like them all together but will use them separately with other bags or by themselves. I don't like having a lot of SLGs, feel like they're a waste of money---how many wallets do you really need? I only own one bandeau, I think they're also a waste of good money. I don't like most LV shoes because they look tacky with the mono print. My list is long... But to each his own. Some people can carry certain things without looking cheap, I know my limit.

My unpopular opinions are as follows...

1. People exchanging or selling and rebuying the same bag multiple times...especially a bag with known issues (I'm looking at you, Pochette Metis). Honestly, I don't really understand people who stalk, get waitlisted, and pine for bags with such known issues. Makes no sense to me. Truthfully I think it's all about the hype of the bag than the bag itself. I admit...I've come close a few times to buying a PM, but just can't make myself do it because of the multitude of issues associated with the bag.

2. People who nitpick their bags to death looking for flaws. I honestly have read so many threads about people looking for flaws, or thinking normal wear and tear are flaws, and sometimes even seeing flaws that aren't even there!

3. Last but not least...Speedy B! Sometimes I get the feeling I'm the only person who doesn't like the Speedy B. I love the classic Speedy. It's probably my all time favorite LV bag. I own four of them. To me it's a classic. But I think the strap is what makes it look like a gym bag/duffle bag. I get the need for a shoulder bag or crossbody bag...but there are so many other bags that look so much nicer worn on the shoulder or crossbody than a Speedy.

So, my unpopular LV opinion pertains to having too many bags in the same mono. I currently have only four LV bags, and three of them are mono. I routinely come across new bags in mono that I'd love to own if only I didn't already have 3 mono bags! I can't understanding owning a slew of bags all in the same print.

I completely agree! I have two monogram handbags and that is suffice!
