Monogram leathers (empreinte, mahina) >>>>>> monogram canvas

I love the more understated (but still obviously LV) look of empreinte and mahina bags. Mono canvas SLGs are very cute, though.
I’m also not a fan of classic mono. I actually hated it up until about a few months ago. I finally realized that I like it in small doses. I bought the Pochette Accessoires. But I could never get a large classic mono bag, only mini bags & SLGs.
 
I like DA, DE for bags as these 2 prints are less loud, DA is so pretty, DE is low profile and easy to care. I choose Monogram for SLGs as SLGs always sit inside the bag

So many people love NF, but I am not a fan, don't find NF anywhere pretty or useful, well NF is big and never full lol.

Crossbody bags with enough space is my first choice as I have 2 kids, really need hands-free to hold their hands.

I sold all my tote bags that were bought when I worked in DT and used to commute by the subway.

Right now I am working at uptown, and WFH since covid, medium to small (never mini) crossbody suits me the best.

In my opinion, my preference changes with my situation

Because it's hard to find THE perfect bag! :lol:

I guess the unpopular opinion for me in this thread is that I LOVE to add doodads, punch holes, cut the leather, buy cheap straps from Amazon, etc, so that I could have a creative outlet with my bags!:biggrin: And that makes me happy. I guess I am a rebel. ;)
It doesn't matter if the bag is $100.00 or $1000.00. If I want to change something, I will do it. Life is too short. :graucho: Just my opinion.

Once, an SA at Chanel told me that Chanel would have rolled over in her grave if she saw my vintage Chanel bag.
I said I don't care cuz I love my doodads on my bag, and I can do whatever I want with a bag I purchased with my own money! LOL!!:lol:
But she did like what I did to it!
I agree. I like to make the bag “my own” by adding a bandeau or a small charm. I am guilty of all of these. I’ve bought gold d-rings on Amazon to convert my Graceful MM into a crossbody with an Etsy strap. I like to have an option of carrying the bag 2 different ways. I bought an Etsy strap for my NeoNoe because I’m 4’11” and the original strap is too long to use in crossbody form for me. I like the original strap for shoulder use.

I understand that flair is not for everyone, but it works for me and makes me happy. I don’t care if I don’t fit into one mould. You only live once!

Here’s a pic of my unconventional NeoNoe strap.21336CBB-8C65-4C72-9C51-FB735EA55E06.jpeg
 
1. Bum bags, especially on females look horrible.

2. Most SLG are over priced and not worth it.

3. The mini pochette is not practical and I’ll never understand why it’s so popular

4. The monogram canvas can be a bit much at times, but DA and DE are both ugly to me and I wouldn’t even wear it if it was free.

5. Epi items are so underrated

6. The older I get the more I find myself not liking the new collections and find myself buying older, preloved items because I like the styles better
