I think the damier azur print is pretty but with as little leather as possible because I personally don't like the way the patina'd leather looks with the DA print. I like it when the leather is new and still light but once it starts to darken past a certain point I don't like it anymore with the DA.
I agree. That print seems like it would get dirty in a hurry.
 
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.

I love all of this and wholeheartedly agree.
 
I think a lot of LV merchandise is ridiculously overpriced. All canvas bags for 2k plus up to almost 3k is just too much IMO. And even some of the leather is overpriced when compared to other luxury brands or even the quality of some older LV leather lines. I love LV and own a lot of it, but there's a lot of merchandise I won't even consider for the price.

I somewhat agree, if I’m looking for a full leather bag LV probably isn’t my first choice however the Empreinte leather is stunning!
 
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.
I think the canvas really varies a lot between different bags. With my NeoNoe I find it really stiff and about medium thickness. My Psm is really light so guessing it's quite thin. But my Surene I find quite heavy and the canvas feels beautifully thick, malleable and heavy.

I don’t like anything supreme or those super colourful collections, I don’t even know their names as I often skip and pay no attention;however, it does look cool on some people. It would not match my style. Besides that I don’t really have strong negative feelings towards handbags. Even if I don’t like a particular model, or it’s not comfortable for me to use, I can still geniunly appreciate the style and the quality. I don’t really care what bags other people use and how much they paid for them.
 
I detest the skimping on metal clasps.

Why on bags is the vanchetta slit to have the strap pulled through on one end and just one metal hook clasp on the other end?

For the price, they should be putting two metal clasps for both ends to connect to the D rings.

This stringyness makes the bags look unfinished and cheaply made and we all know they aren't cheap.

Items like the pouchette accessories, the neverful pouch, the favourite all have this issue.

Okay, here goes. I *really* detest the patterns on all designer bags. Why do these design houses have to superimpose flowers and playing cards (like with the LV cruise collection) on already classic patterns, that have will sell without having to embellish ugly images all over them?! I'm quite sure Vuitton and Gucci would be horrified at it all.
That’s what happens when a family business is sold off to an outsider.

True it does look fresh with the stark white vachetta and looks dirty with patina

At some point they’re gonna have to stop...canvas is just plastic after all
 
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.
I agree on more silver hardware but I hope they continue with more pinks purples blues :P I can’t seem to have enough...really loved the escale pastel collection but if only their quality was also equivalently superb
