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 love clean, fresh vachetta either on the mono print bags. Too much contrast to the mono...makes the bag look too busy and fussy. Especially in the styles that are busier to begin with. For that reason alone, I will never buy a new bag...pre-owned and vintage only for me.

I really don’t like DA. I think it is very “meah” and is really nothing special. Plus it looks beat up in no time, combining all the problems of LV in one...color transfer, canvas rubbing and staining, and vachetta staining. All that hassle for a material that is (to me) so bland and pedestrian looking to begin with. I got a Speedy 30 in DA in gorgeous condition to resell and it is the only LV my husband immediately said that he didn’t like and “HOW much is it?!?”

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 think unboxing videos are stupid, period. Who wants to watch someone or something they really want but don’t have or can’t get? I can torture myself in so many other productive ways. Plus, some of these videos are ridiculously long! How long does it take you to open a dang box, lady? Even if I wanted to see what the item looks like and her initial impression, do I really give a crap about how thick the ribbon is or what the dust bag feels like? I’m not wearing the packaging on my arm!

Waste of my limited time....

I dislike themed collections, like the current one that's based on playing cards, or whatever. I do understand that these are limited and exciting for some people, but I just like the plain bags! Also, I have never seen a pair of LV shoes that I've found attractive.

They make shoes? Next thing you know, they’ll start making earbuds...LOL

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 feel the same way about the Neverful. I also didn't like how thin the straps were. They looked like they would make the bag so uncomfortable depending on how much crap is inside.

When we gifted my MIL her first LV, she instantly gravitated towards the Neverful but then saw the Totally that zipped, had thicker straps and outside pockets. I wish LV would have kept that model instead of the Neverful.

I have a client who got one as a gift from her MIL so she has to use it and she really doesn’t like it. She says it is heavy, even when empty, and the thin straps dig. She barely had anything in hers (like a wallet, cosmetic bag and sunglasses) and she let me hold it. I was astounded how heavy it was! A deep pulling weight feel.

Forever ruled out a Neverfull for me. Plus everybody and their mother has one...

Okay, if I'm completely honest, I don't understand the bum bag or the multi pochette. These are a season bag and that's it. To me, that's not a reason to purchase. I like classic bags that will stand the test of time. But again, that is just me and you got to do what you love. No hating on my comment. :heart:

The multi pochette is a combination of classic pochettes, which you can also use separately, so I think it’s classic enough. :smile: But I agree about the bum bag.

Here we go...some unpopular and popular opinions according to this thread:
1. I love the scam bag. I love a cross body bag and the functionality of being able to organize different categories of items into different bags :biggrin:
2. Agree that the neverfull isn’t appealing because it’s essentially a giant tote bag and anything that doesn’t have a zipper just doesn’t work for me.
3. DE is my favorite canvas because it feels more understated than monogram.
4. A lot of people hate the new wave bags but I picked up a multi pochette black one and I’m not sure if I have buyer’s remorse but love the hardware and strap.
