My unpopular LV opinion: not a superfan of Virgil. The millennials are going to kill me. The off-white armies are going to banish me to the underworld. But you know what, I respect him as a designer. He has a futuristic vision for LV. In fact, I got one of his LV mini soft trunks and I don't know how or when I'm going to wear it but that's the only thing I liked from him. The rest and the new collection naah.

The Soft Trunk is really based on a design by his predecessor, Kim Jones.

Personally, from my experience today, and from what I have seen and heard so many times already: I think LV has lost touch with the average/ casually swinging by regular/home town customer who wants to get something squared away.

I don't think I ever felt that un-welcome and as a factor of disturbance rather than as a valued customer - at any LV Boutique - ever before, as I did today in what is basically my home town boutique.

Kind regards,
Oliver

Sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy visiting your home store. You should be a valued customer with your refined taste for the luxuries in life.

I enjoyed reading this thread a lot! Chiming in with my thoughts:
1. I love my neverfull! Its my perfect everyday/travel/everything bag. I am not really into organizers and just throw everything in - works for me. Although when I do carry my laptop with me the straps do hurt and it can get uncomfortable.
2. Not into patina and that is what stops me from getting more monogram pieces. I have the felicie in monogram with the gold chain and love it (even though I read somewhere on this thread someone thought it was an overpriced wallet, I think its a great evening bag or bag to run and do quick errands).
3. Totally agree with someone else who posted that LV should incorporate damier graphite (I think that's what its called) into more items for women.
4. Not into the alma vernis at all!!
5. Don't have a speedy b yet but definitely my next purchase! I prefer it in the empreinte v. canvas although I do love the durability of the canvas.
6. Also agree with others on here with the bright colored trimmings. I loved the black and white monogram that came out but the trimmings killed it for me too.

But to each its own right?!

This thread is super interesting and has grown into a life of its own! I love it!

I’m trying to think of more unpopular opinions I have that I can add in :D definitely patina doesn’t bother me and I honestly kind of like it sometimes. I think I prefer patina on vachetta rather than brand new.

I don’t like babying bags and I’ll never buy something so delicate it has to be babied (going beyond LV here though).

I also don’t like “clashing” prints - if I’m carrying a DE bag for example I need my wallet to be either DE or non LV. I HATE carrying mono and DE together. I can still imagine DE and DA (or DG I guess) together, but mono goes only with mono (or leather, with or without mono).

I actually like the direction LV is going with the bright colour trimmings! I actually like that better than when it’s just bright leather.

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 hate glazing on the leather bags. I really don't like the look of it especially when it doesn't match the lather. The high maintenance is a pain ( for example Dauphine ), issues ( cracks, dents ) and don't think it looks elegant. I wish LV could do something instead, perhaps leather trims or something?

I don’t understand the ever on going debate about the neverfull’s design. Like why are people trying to make it something or more than what it’s supposed to be?

Yes it’s open, it’s an open tote. Yes it’s casual, it’s a travel/ weekender/ beach tote. I don’t think it was really meant to be worn on a cute brunch with friends? If you wanted zippers, then there’s the totally mm for that. it’s not as cute you think? Well yeah because zipped totes are basically diaper bags. That’s why all the iconic totes even from other brands don’t have zippers.

Also same opinion on de/da print, i don’t get it. Am i the only one who thinks it looks cheap and uninspired? I know women like it because they think it’s “discreet”, like first of all it’s not. The print appears unsophisticated and looks like something you get for free at a department store.

It also reminds me of a transparent background in photoshop. It only works great in those limited edition styles where it has drawings and other prints all over. It’s a nice backdrop and that’s what it is, a backdrop. It needs a subject.

Haha! That’s exactly what it is! Photoshop background. Love this!

Omg I never used to analyze my bags. I would buy them and use them happily, toss them around, use them in the rain. Of course nothing ever happened to them! But ever since I started reading this forum more I find myself examining every square inch of the bag and being terrified to ever use my bags! I probably bought and returned 10 various designer bags this year because I was just being so obnoxiously particular about them. I finally received my last LV as a gift, and told myself to just be happy with it and use it and love it! I can't waste any more energy on the never-ending inspection and anxiety of using my bag. After all, it is really just a purse!
