My issue is I don't really like brown and gold which is like... a lot of what LV offers. I have two bags from LV and they both have gold hardware, it's tough to get away from. (I'm a black and silver fan myself.)

Another probably unpopular opinion is I wish Virgil Abloh would do a season of women's bags. I want bold colored or gray colored canvas and silver hardware on more petite designs!
 
LV bags don't really pull any outfit of mine together. In fact, they brutally clash with almost all of them. The monogram bags don't match my colour palette (cool tones) and the leather ones are usually so loud, rigid and out there with the big LV shaped buckles that they may end up sitting "on top" of an outfit but never pull it together like an understated, soft Celine (Phoebe philo era) leather bag would. The Sofia Coppola bag was the one notable exception from this rule.

Nevertheless, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the tactile feel, the smell and look of LV monogram canvas. So SLGs became my guilty pleasure because I can make them disappear from my outfit inside my bags, but whenever I peak inside they make me smile.
 
I feel like LV are cutting corners and taking liberties. They are taking away features while raising prices.
Like, no feet on leather bags, lack of adjustable straps, thinner canvases, less colour options, stricter personalisation guidelines and less availability of products. Luxury shopping shouldn't be hard, stressful or downright unpleasant.

Agree
 
I wish they did a lot more silver hardware and not another pink. I’m looking forward to Virgil Abloh’s men’s collection featuring blue tones.
Agree! I was really excited the bag I got yesterday had ruthenium hardware - I've bought two men's pieces recently because I just don't want more pinks. I loved the days when they had epi in orange, yellow, etc.

I wish they brought the SC bag back in a variety of colours and two sizes!
 
I’d have to agree with above poster. I want to like the never full, but it’s big open gaping space and no organization or closed compartment isn’t for me. I also don’t like all the extra space, to me it’s a little too high and wide. I know it’s supposed to be a tote but it’s just a black hole to me. I also HATE the DA print. Don’t own anything in it and never will. When I see items I like by LV, my mind has gotten to the point where I forget it even comes in da because I’ve shut it out of existence in my brain lol. Sorry to those out there who love it. It just doesn’t appeal to me
