I think they look ridiculous with the chains, but also find it interesting that LV sells a bag of the same shape but calls it another name and puts a card slot inside and everyone accepts it as a clutch.

good old days? I still see this in NY lolEven 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.
Ha! I moved to the West Coast, so I don't see them as often. But OG LV's are pure nostalgia for me.
The beach pouch and clear PVC bags look like something you could buy for $5 at Walmart.
Unpopular opinion... posts about how you hate seeing toiletry pouches used as a clutch is becoming redundant. We get it, you can’t think outside of the box. Can we now stop being a dead horse?! Based on this forum, this is not an unpopular opinion and comes off as shaming.
1. Don‘t like the ridiculous weird color combos for the Neo Noe. It is like milking the cow till it dies. Just keep with the elegant Monogram.
2. Agree, that only products should be on the online webpage which are actually really available for general public.
3. The phone reservation line has the same problem. Most of the stuff you should call about are also not available. Or they just cancel your order after some time without notifying you.
4. All that huge letter rainbow colored stuff is ridiculous. I still want to associate LV with elegant and tasteful stuff and not tacky bling bling stuff.
5. The rising prices for plain canvas stuff is atrocious. Though I can understand this point. It‘s business.
6. I forgot, don't like the Alma and the Alma BB - weird looking bag.
All just my two cents.

. Aahhhh good old auto-correct. It’ll get you every time 
Corporate suit and suburban mom right here. Currently wearing jeans, UGG slippers, a Ralph Lauren cable knit pullover, a couple of Tiffany RG necklaces and my trustee Mon Mon NF. Often seen in Lululemon jackets in the company of a NF, Speedy B or Neo Noe.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 even like sipping Pinot Grigio or (gasp) Rose wine on my deck.
Basic AF and happy as a clam.
Like I said, it’s silly that people consider the one on the left a clutch and the one on the right a toiletry bag just because LV says so.

And why wouldn't you be? Just want to be clear, when I said "basic staple" I meant basic as in "duh of course you have to have one," not in a derogatory sense.
To me, LV will always be a purveyor of workhorse staples versus the trendy, hip brand that rappers wear. Of course it is both, but my point was I prefer to see it as the former. It was my first nice work tote, my first hand-held bag, my first designer wallet, and I still love using them for travel or days when I need something that lasts.Oh, I didn’t take it as offensive at all. Just owning it. My post earlier in the thread said exactly that; to me LV is casual, workhorse basic items.And why wouldn't you be?

One of the bad opinions that I have of LV is that it is very copied and everywhere they want to sell it to you as an original when it is not, that bothers me a lot to the pugual than other brands. In cinecalidad there is a film that I recently saw that the plot is somewhat similar where they copy everything and say that it is 100% original.
Thank you for posting this!!! I mean why can’t it be used outside of what LV TOLD you to use it for?! Personally I’ll use whatever item that I buy for whatever purpose I want to and not because a luxury designer told me too. LV saw how innovative people were with it, took the idea and ran with it only adding card slots inside.
I don’t know about others but I don’t always follow the rules and just do what I’m told when it comes to my money. I have yet to use my pouch but I don’t get being really hard on those that do and this forum has been coming down hard.
