(This might just be me being a grumpy, crotchety 20smthing year old.)

PS. And yes, I've moved on to other brands.[/QUOTE]
A "20smthing year old" is way too young to be "grumpy, crotchety." I just can't believe it. But got a chuckle out of your post.

I used to think the monogram was ridiculous until I got one.....thinking it would be a return. I no longer see a brand name screaming at me.....like some of those giant horse logos on Lauren's polos. What I now see is a piece of history. After reading the history behind the monogram's print I now find it endearing.....if that makes sense.

I too am not drawn to the Neverfull. It looks cumbersome even for me at 5' 9". I do love the Iena tote in both the PM and MM sizes. The security of the top zipper and outer pocket with a zipper makes the bag less worrisome to wear. I have many leather totes which are heavy, as most know, to begin with. Then! With the added weight of belongings......poor little shoulders can't take it.

Was surprised at those who don't like the Speedy? I wasn't crazy about it either until I got one....now have two. Someone wrote they look like sweaty gym bags. I think that's a stretch. What tipped me into purchasing one? Audrey Hepburn. I know, the young gals here most likely have no idea who she is. But those of us who have entered the 'mature' years remember her fondly. A woman with great style and kindness. Yep, knowing Audrey was a fan made me wonder why. Now I know.

Almost forgot. I don't like purchasing an LV only to find out it was made outside of France. The specialness goes right out the window. Since I purchase at their website and since I don't have one of their boutiques nearby, I am at their mercy. So far, I've been lucky but prefer to purchase new or excellent rated pieces on the preloved market because I know where they've been made. In fact, have one arriving tomorrow!

- I don't like the DE or DA.
- I don't know why so many of you call the multi pochette* a scam bag, it's not my cup of tea but I've seen many people pull it off (good for them :smile: )
- Speedy... Nevefull... Basic AF.
- I don't understand the New Wave line.

Having items that appear on the website but are never in stock. Only put stuff on the website if it can be bought online there and then.

Also I'm pretty sure that they encourage their SAs to lie either deliberately or through the dissemination of false information.

LV is a multi billion dollar company. In 2020 there is no way that people should receive poor customer service considering the prices they pay at LV.
I don't understand why bags can't be sent between stores if that's what the customer wants.
I don't understand why you can't order the bag for when it does come back into stock if that's what the customer wants.

I don't understand why technology wise you have no idea when you will be getting deliveries of new stock and also what's in those deliveries. There is no way that should be a lottery. They just don't want to tell customers.

Other businesses don't treat their customers like that. If fact often times they beg you to take your order so you come back as a customer.

I totally agree. I feel as its their way of keeping things obscure but it dies not seem at all professional to me. People lose interest if they have to go through hell and highwater to get something.

I don't understand the trend of people using the toiletry pouches as clutches. Even going to the trouble to convert them to bags by buying chains.
If you want a clutch buy a clutch or the other dozens of small bags LV has.

Everytime I see a toiletry pouch all I can think is that person is carrying soap, loafer, shower gel etc around. Weird.

Same. HARD AGREE.

Even though there are a lot of hot and really hip LV models out now, I'll never stop seeing it as a "basic staples" type of brand for high end suburbanites. I remember the days when nearly every young professional (or college kid) I saw in NY, CT, and Boston wore the Neverfull or Speedy. And moms toting around their Delightfuls or Artsies.... ah, the good old days. :biggrin:
