Combination comment here....It drives me crazy that as soon as a new bag is released I know that every vlogger I follow is about to have an unboxing video and it will be the same bag for all of them....currently that's the Odeon and I really dislike that bag. Was so disappointed to see an unboxing video today and it was like the 3rd one in a row with this dang bag!!!

I don’t understand the need to take a magnifying glass to a handbag. Yes, luxury goods are expensive and there shouldn’t be glaring issues with the bag but one stitch out of place? Returning a bag multiple times to find that perfect one? I can’t imagine expecting perfection out of anything. But to each their own.
Turning SLGs or cosmetic/toiletry pouches into crossbodies. Creative? Sure. Cute? No.
Agreed. If you have to turn the item that I carry tampons in into a crossbody then you need to look at another brand to find what you are looking for. Just because it cost a pretty penny and has an LV on it doesn't mean you haven't strapped a toiletry bag to your body.
I tried so hard to like the Pochette Metis but its a style that just doesn't work for me.
I loved backpacks in my late teens but....
I don't like the trendy busy styles from the last few years. I stick to the classics.

I think the PM looks like an old ladies bag!
It looks really tacky IMO. If you're looking for a crossbody you can get one for a similar price-point on an array of websites.
EXACTLY THIS!!! I am tired of seeing all the knit picking of stitches, spots, alignment etc. If you want the bag, buy it and keep it. Frankly, I am shocked at how often people will return an item (sometimes 5x!) to get the certain look they want. I understand it's your money... you can do as you please, but I am tired of people making the brand/company look bad by posting minuscule details online. I have an enormous bag collection and yes, I know I am blessed, but 95% of my bags look new and the other 5% have clean vachetta with patina. All I care about is that my bags look well cared for and are in clean condition. I don't have time to be bothered with stitch marks, or canvas alignment. I'm sorry... I feel it's over the top!
In the end, I am glad LV is limiting purchases on some buyers and watching the returns patterns more closely. As I business, I completely understand not wanting to ship out items only to have them returned over and over.

I’m a lover of the canvases, with mono being my favorite. I have non-mono bags just to mix it up a little, but I love the old standard. My probably unpopular opinion is that I really don’t like many of the new styles. As I said, I’m a mono girl and there aren’t too many new mono styles that I like. I like big bags and I guess those are out. But all of the PM and BB bags in busy colors and patterns just aren’t me. I don’t like the twist, like another poster said. I also don’t like the Capucines at all. To me, they look like an old lady bag, I guess because they remind me of a bag my great-grandmother used to carry. I don’t see how a twenty- or thirty-something girl would like this bag. I can remember going to the website and being in love with so much and that never happens anymore. If I find one I like,I’m doing well.
I wonder if I’m just old and out of style, and maybe I don’t get it. LV just seems like they are going way too wild and trendy and completely away from classic and timeless, which I loved. I’ve never bought a used bag before last week, and now I’ve bought 2 because nothing new is appealing.
Also, I don’t love Neverfulls, either, with the exception of my Catogram. When I see someone with a plain one, I think to myself either it’s her first bag and she went for the basics or went for value. Nothing wrong with either of those but to me it’s akin to liking a great music group only by the songs on the radio. You just go with what’s cheap and popular without loving the brand. I guess I just overthink it.

I don’t understand the obsession for LV items to be “made in France”. I own LV products made in Spain that I love as much as the MIF ones
I'm kinda confused about this thread. 
Is this thread about the unpopular opinions about LV products, or about people's behavior regarding LV products, or both?

I wrote this almost a year ago (post #44 on this thread, the day after is was created) and i replied about both.
My unpopular opinion is a lack of love for crossbody bags. I have only one bag you could consider a cross body, but I wear it shoulder only. I like big bags and causal hobo style bags best, though I do have small bags too.
I hate the description "grab and go". Who doesn't grab their bag then go? Do people grab, hold, then stay?
I also hate "I don't reach for it" when talking about a bag. Do people only reach for bags, or do they actually use them too? Can we not say, "I don't use the bag anymore"?
Last one: "I picked up this bag". No, you bought it.
So to be clear, I guess your post was about how people used certain words or phrases to describe their actions, not actually the behaviors or what they DO with their bags. Am I right?I wrote this almost a year ago (post #44 on this thread, the day after is was created) and i replied about both.

You were so funny that even though I say those things you mentioned, I wasn't offended at all.
I guess it was how you delivered the content, not necessarily the content itself!

I loved this post! I say a couple of those and the way you delivered the message was hysterical. Thx for the laugh!I wrote this almost a year ago (post #44 on this thread, the day after is was created) and i replied about both.

It seems like I am the only one that doesn't like the new version Odeon (at least the PM in black leather that I tried). This bag has shown me how LV is really cutting corners to save money with the cheap feeling lining (it feels plastic underneath the black fabric when I pulled it out to see the date code), the metal logo on every tag I have seen looks sloppy, the black strap keeper doesn't work for it if you put at longest length, and the black leather feels so soft that moving it back and forth shows it will prematurely age/get quite a bit of wrinkling in a short period of time.
I have Coach bags with better feeling lining and leather. I guess I will stick to buying older styles/classics that don't skimp on the beautiful details.
