What’s your unpopular LV opinion?

[Helen MacDonald]

Agreed! I think it looks like baby poop!

I have never seen the appeal of reverse monogram either for the same reason. I thought I was the only one .
I don’t like vachetta, I find the colour of the patina ugly. I know this is unpopular as people talk about the beautiful patina and how to speed up the process but I really don’t like it.

Re unpopular LV option: Although TPs are mainly used for toiletry items, etc; I prefer to use them with a shoulder strap or in a clear tote bag.

+ 1 in a clear tote and use it for travel as paspor pouch and boarding pass (party of 4)

Since when do the LV leather bags cost as much as Chanel? This is a little crazy to me

The first LV leather bag that I bought in 2011 was more expensive than both the Chanel and the Hermes bags which I was deciding between.

LV has always had specialty leather options with high prices (full Vachetta, Lamb, Goat, Exotics, etc...)

I just had a discussion with my friend the other day regarding the same issues that thread starter addressed in the beginning. My friend also owns the NF in DA, and she feels that mono is a bit much. She also feels that wearing a LV shawl with monogram and a bag in monogram is just showing of. She owns a shawl herself, and uses it with her DA bag. I on the other hand, looove the monogram pattern and uses both bag and shawl at the same time. What are your thoughts here?

I think wearing both at the same time might not look fashionable, but I wouldn’t call it showing off. Someone could argue that carrying any LV bag is showing off.

There should have been no price increase in the wake of Covid-19 outbreak...

Unless your name starts with B and ends with D.

I was in the same boat and thought it looked like baby poop too!! ... but then I saw the Reverse PM in person and sometimes I like it better than the regular monogram

I agree with you again. I love vachetta from brand new to about a year in. After that the honey color and beyond just look dirty to me. The reason I have all DE bags and a few mono SLGs but none have vachetta.

I don’t like Epi leather. No doubt it’s sturdy and durable, but I like leather to feel like leather, not plastic.
I’d get canvas instead.

That there's no zipper closure for the Neverfull and the straps are too thin...

Although my first LV was the Ellipse MM in monogram, preloved, I do not like monogram. That’s the only piece I have in monogram canvas. Also, I hate any neverfull. I’m an Epi leather fan all the way...it’s subtle, classic, and those that know what’s what should recognize the subtle Epi pieces as LV pieces, if thats important. I’ve even turned my fiancé into an Epi lover, and got his first LV wallet last year in Epi, limited edition colors.

 

[GraceSofia31]

Another unpopular opinion: besides hating the neverful, I also hate the pochette Métis and the Palm Springs back pack. I wish people would stop talking about those.

I think damier azur looks awful with even the slightest bit of patina. I've owned a couple but sell them as soon as they start to turn. Thanks to LVs price increases, I haven't lost money on any of them. Just sold my two-year old Neverfull GM for what I paid.
