This may not be seen as unpopular but a well-worn Louis Vuitton bag sighting is a testament to the bags durability and timelessness. Although some people may be repulsed by the look, these bags were meant to be lived in. I don't find it sad that somebody has loved something so much that it's reflected in the item.

I'm a believer in taking good care of your things by all means but life is messy. For example - I've been nursing my pochettes vachetta for the past 1.5 years. I've been obsessing over the perfect tan. There's now several new spots that I've come to accept as they're merely stamps from the places I've been. There's a simple beauty in that.
Agree
 
Okey...here goes. A little bit scared that I will be unpopular with this opinion, but...I just don't like the LV collections with stickers on them. Like the Christmas 2020, the WT, the MWT... I feel that wandering around with a pochette with stickers on it is better suited someone younger- or in their teens. They are cute yes- but honestly- will it be a classic you will wear in ten years? LV for me are the classic styles, that never will go out of fashion and has an increasing value.
 
I’m not a fan of the Neverfull because it’s such a large open hole. A colleague of mine owned one and noticed a person tried to reach into it from the back when she was waiting for the train. They should really make 1 with a zipper because it doesn’t seem safe to store any personal items.
I never understood the hype around the Cerise collection with all the smiley face cherries, it creeps me out. Not sure about the Stories collection either, i feel it ruins the classic pieces and looks very childish, we’re they trying to target late teens and young adults with it??

I really think the LV Stories collection was targeting the millennials.

LOL! I have the Stories silk square and I adore the print! Maybe not on a bag though.
I also love everything LV cerise, although I don't own any yet.
But then again, I am quite maturity challenged for my age.:lol::biggrin:
 
This is a really interesting thread. I’m 43 & bought my first LV 20 years ago, a petit bucket. In monogram, of course. And I went out of my way to get the handles to turn! LOL! In those days, it seemed the super clean handles indicated a fake. Plus, growing up in the 80s, all I could remember were my friends moms with their speedys & almas with the beautiful honey handles. So I guess my unpopular opinion would be not digging ‘clean’ handles on monogram bags. But again, that may just be my experiences talking. I do love DE, especially since it was the original -I like the history- but don’t care for the DA with dark handles.

I did read a comment that it seems the canvas is getting thinner -I do agree with that. My bucket is really thick compared to some of the canvas I’ve touched in the stores, as is my monogram Pochette from 2002 & my Damier Tribeca Long from 2004. I tend to gravitate towards vintage these days for that reason.
 
I don't like the price of the capucines. It's not worth it and resells at a loss-making price. It's a beautiful bag but not Chanel classic flap's price territory.

I also only buy preloved good condition LV bags, never brand new.
Agree with the resell value of Capucines or most if not all LV leather bags and many canvas bags don't hold resale value, lower price point LV bags usually hold value better because more people can afford them, but I love Capucines, to me the price is totally worth it, it's very original design, I love the look of it and it is easy to use and looking great on, can go casual or dressy, and rare chance bump into someone wearing the same bag (such as one time I went to an event, there were muliple people wearing black Chanel flaps and I was the only one wears Capucines, I like that!) I have Chanel classics too, but Capucines is easier to wear and wears better, easier to store, and I agree with you too it's best to buy bags preloved if you can ensure the authenticity.

If Capucines is the price of Neverfull, then we probably will see it everywhere at every corner almost everyone including their mothers have it, haha

I just don’t understand the popularity of LV canvas. I find it gaudy especially the monogram and way overpriced for what is essentially just coated cotton. I would rather pay a little more for leather which to me is more classy and understated. I have empreinte and epi slg items and a bag in each of these leathers and love them, but I would never buy LV canvas.
I have 20 Chanel Flaps and reissue ones. But had carried once of one purse only bc too expensive to carry lol
i tend to reach LV every time. therefore, I just got back to LV after 15 years run away lol
