I wish they brought the SC bag back in a variety of colours and two sizes!

I also agree. Sorry, but the Neverfull looks like nothing more than a beach bag. Sort of a joke on women trying to get into the LV line. Actually, I still like Louis Vuitton and will probably be ripped off again but there is something about the brand that still holds my attention. Over the years the quality and attention to detail has greatly diminished. Very SAD.
My unpopular dislikes:
1. Neverful
2. Speedy
3. Bum Bag...yuk!
4. Folded bags (Even though I own the Alma BB Neo in Noir and love it)
5. The pastel looking color combos and higher prices that do not reflect quality!
6. LV trying to catch up to Chanel price points.

It took me years to like the LV monogram but I finally got there mostly because it didn't really match my colors. Once I stopped trying to make it match, it became an issue of usefulness. This is the year that happened. I truly love my Neonoe, Croisette, Girolata but am still not fond of the Neverful simply due to its lack or organization and it seems too high and wide. Just my take. I do love the bags I have in empreinte leather but sometimes it's nice to have a canvas bag that you don't have to fret over.

I think this is both a popular and unpopular opinion but as an avid LV fan- I love monogram for their history. Although there's a lot more counterfeits for monogram products nowadays, it was ironically created to fight counterfeits back in the 1800s as the Damier Ebene was being copied, ha! Also, while a lot of people despise Monogram and think it's showy, I mainly love it for the casualness (i'm always in black and denim- so it works for me) and the durability has been second to none (based on my experience). The quality in general may be depreciating..but I feel that's with all the other brands and also most of LV products as well.

I've also never understood why the Neverfull is so popular, at first I avoided purchasing it because it didn't have a zipper.. but it's also not too visually pleasing. If anything it might be a practical bag, but definitely not a classy one.

I'm all for using SLGs to organize items in my bag but I don't get the sudden spike of people using cardholders and key pouches as wallets (but that's not just for LV...for every single brand out there). I mean, I get it if you're using a clutch for a night out but I low key think it's so sleazy to use a cardholder as your main wallet, also doesn't look very...flimsy.

I wish LV would come up with bags that are a little bit more understated like the Alma, Soufflot, Locky in epi or the city streamer! I know it's all about logo right now but damn we get it the bag is by Louis Vuitton.

I disliked the giant monogram and now seeing some pieces from Cruise collection where the logos are bigger than that (they can't go bigger or they'd go off the canvas lol), it is out of control lol. Why are they so desperate for everyone 1 mile down the road to know what bag someone you are carrying? :P

1. I am not a fan of the monogram print. It is very pretty in photos and from afar, but when I go to the store and try it on, I find the print too loud.
2. I do not like the Palm Springs. Although I am a very casual dresser, I don't see it as a "grab and go" as mentioned in reviews.
3. I also do not like the Pochette Metis. It's too formal looking and huge for me.

1. I like the look of new/honey vachetta but hate when it gets that dirty look. That leather is too high maintenance for me.
2. I do not like the Pochette Métis. The boxy shape and accordion style look old.
3. I wish LV would stop with all the embellishments for bags or make it as an optional add on. I don’t always want a sticker, tassel, etc.
4. I don’t like leather on any part of the bag that can sit on the ground. It’s gets rubbed, scratched or wet and then looks awful. They have so many bags that really should have the 4 “feet” on them.
5. Monogram is too loud and flashy for me, though I think it looks amazing on other people.
That’s enough for now! :biggrin:

I have been converted to the neverfull club. Although the design certainly has its faults (what bag doesn't honestly) I think it is a beautiful bag, not a basic one. The lines are clean, it ages well and it holds a fair bit. Monogram always looks fabulous when it ages. There's a reason why so many people own the neverfull not just because it's one of the "cheaper styles" (come on, it's still a very expensive bag people!!!) .

Another slightly related unpopular opinion:
It is incredibly snobby to dislike an item merely because it's common-place. Luxury goods may be common where you live but in many places there's not a luxury good in sight due to an array of complex reasons. To assume that an LV bag is "basic" is ridiculous and shows a gross lack of worldliness. I am using some rather strong wording but it's vexing to continuously see people behave in this way. One LV is still a luxury, let alone 10 or 100.

Well said and I agree with both of your points. I’m a NF convert as well. Lol

Just a fun discussion thread (not meant to offend anyone!) idea that came into my head today.

A very close friend and I had a long discussion on LV today, and we found that we both hold two (fairly strong and opposing) opinions that are mostly not shared by others.

For her, she really dislikes the monogram canvas because she thinks it’s too showy (I don’t agree :biggrin:, since almost all my LV is mono) and in your face. Her personal preference is Damier Azur, since she is also quite fair and it looks nice against her skin.

I don’t feel strongly about the material (canvas/leather, which print etc) but I really don’t like the Neverfull, I know it’s an iconic bag but I hate the fact that it doesn’t have a zip and also that it has become so ubiquitous (I guess I just like being a “special snowflake” type who has stuff that is different from the rest). She actually has a DA NF, so she disagrees with me :biggrin:

So after our spirited (but all in good fun) discussion I thought I’d open it up to the community - also it will be interesting to see if the “unpopularity” of our opinions is really true or if we will find many people to agree with us :biggrin:

Agree, I also don't care for the Neverfulls. It seems like a big, shapeless bag with no closure. They have thin straps as well, and I find myself digging around for anything inside.

Also have to add that I dislike the Damier patterns, and far prefer the monogram! It's an LV, you need to advertise it as much as you can!
