The new colourful 2020 collection is terrible. Glad for my bank account but can't believe they thought it was a good idea.

Also the price point of some items baffles me and I'm convinced that they just make up the price based on how popular the item is rather than an actual size/material structure.

The collection reminds me of that show Blossom and the clothes she wore.

This is such a thoughtful and accurate post, and I agree with most of it. Yet the funny thing is I still love LV. Having found a wonderful CA has made all the difference in the world. With regard to the comment about LV losing its identity and trying to please too many people I can certainly see why it would appear this way. So many styles and designs, and more coming every month. I think even the CAs can’t keep track of them all. However, the silver lining is that for certain clients, there is a higher chance of finding something that works for their life and purpose. For example I love the IDEA of Hermes. But their bags styles don’t work for my life and price point don’t work for my budget. I need smallish, relatively light functional bags that allow for crossbody carrying and I’m leaning much more toward leather pieces now. The mini Lindy in Togo is the closest thing but the price and the availability are deterrents. And I can’t even try on the bag. And because LV comes up with so many styles I have discovered bags that I like that I never thought I would. They challenge me and make me think (and wonder?) sometimes. But this is supposed to be about an unpopular opinion. So yeah. Never understood the how people can stuff a Neverfull. Wouldn’t that skinny strap kill your shoulder? It’s probably my problem only. Bony shoulders with a nerve problem and a Neverfull do not mix.

I still love LV too! The irony!

Lol. Translation: I own the Pochette Métis, I like it, and I plan to keep it for the time being, but it’s not as great as I thought it would be. I chased that bag for a year and thought I would love it, but I only like it. I guess my expectations were too high! It doesn’t hold as much as I thought it would, at least not without getting bulky and warped, the strap is stiff and uncomfortable (I’m hoping that it softens with time and use), and the plating on the hardware is showing wear badly and very quickly (when did LV’s hardware become so cheap???). I do like the bag - it is lightweight, and I enjoy its aesthetics - but Louis Vuitton makes better bags, IMO. It is priced very well, at least.

Definitely not a huge fan of the escale!!! Love this thread lol. I would have to go ahead and say... GASP.... I don’t like the speedy. Opening not functional at all, bag inside has no organization. Don’t like the shape. Never liked it and never will (sorry to the speedy lovers : ) )

Came here to say the exact same thing. :biggrin: The inside is like dropping everything into the vast abyss, the elbow straps are so short, it gets heavy very quickly, and looks bulky even when it's not full. I can almost get on board with a Speedy B but at those prices, I'd rather go for a Keepall B 45 and use it as carry-on luggage. The shape and design just makes more sense for luggage and not a purse.

Also, I hate the color of new/light vachetta. Give me a pre-loved bag with a clean and even honey patina any day. New vachetta looks fake and cheap.

I genuinely read your post and was like, “What?” Lol but I get that your expectations were too high and sometimes when we build things up in our head the outcome can hardly ever surpass. I, however, was the opposite. Bought it just because it was available, was skeptical that I would like it and ended up loving it. I think it’s the reverse color that got me, it’s such a nice break from the normal and somewhat boring regular mono.
