What’s your unpopular LV opinion?

[emjay67]

Unpopular opinion: I do not like like adornments of any kind. No charms, luggage tags, hot stamping, bandeaus/twillies - nothing. I don't even wear the locks on my bags that come with them. No dangly things. No ornate straps like the guitar straps that have been popular. And while not LV, I will share that the thing that triggers me the most are Hermes Rodeos. I just can't. i'd rather put that money toward literally anything else.

Go ahead and throw your tomatoes. I'm ready for them. LOL

There’s a similar unpopular Hermes opinions thread, the Rodeo specifically and charms in general are mentioned frequently!

Well, I bag charms , but those from Hermes are...just no. I don’t get them and their prices at all.

Right?? It's crazy!

I don't really know why I don't go for bag charms. I love the sounds that zippers and such make against LV canvas (is that weird?) so you'd think I would have them on all my bags, but no.

Actually I didn’t like bag charms at first but now I’m totally hooked. It’s an addiction, you should actually be grateful you don’t like them.

1st, I love the look of the chain strap, but I don't like carrying it. The chain is so uncomfortable due to the weight, also digs into my shoulder


2nd, I don't like flap bags, since the hype of PM, I bought Coach cassie to try, I found out I don't like opening the flap every time I have to get in and out(I sold my customized Cassie 19).
I just like the simple drawstring or zipper closure because most of the time I just leave it open but close to my body.

I feel the same way (except the jacquard strap). No dangly bits on my bags. Lol!

I know I am in the minority here, but I do not and will not ever consider spraying any type of “guard” on my bags. I love the lived-in feel of my leather bags - yes even my lamb skin ones. I love how leather ages naturally. The natural patina gives a piece character and I find it beautiful. I am not rough with my leather, but use them as they are intended to be used -even in the rain. There is a natural repellancy built in. It is a hide after all.
I have Louis Vuittons from 30-40 years ago and the vachette is a beautiful dark honey color that just can’t be replicated with any dye treatment. Look, I get it, I am from the old school train of thought. But I am a traditionalist that way. My purchases are all for my personal use and collection and I never intend to resell. I may gift to a relative or friend from time to time but I personally have no need for my leather goods to be preserved in their virgin vachette state in perpetuity.

The LV fragrances are pretty average and they would not have nearly as many fans if it weren’t for the name and packaging. That being said, I still want to pick up afternoon swim because it’s lovely and I love the bottle.

LV needs to stop all the collabs. I feel like it cheapens their brand. Who are they going to collab with next? McDonald’s?

I don’t like canvas Neverfull and don’t understand why people like it It reminds me of my grandmother old oilcloth which she used on her dining table like 20 years ago. It is also really popular that I can seen it literally everywhere (I live in London). Empreinte leather one looks much better but still doesn’t convince me to purchase one for myself.

I wish LV would stop making the guitar straps with all their new designs, or at least give the option of having a normal thinner strap to their designs. In my eyes the guitar straps are not something I think I will appreciate in 4-5 years.

I also find the huge and never ending logos on the clothes and jackets makes them look fake.

Agree completely. And I live in the UK so I frequently experience four seasons in the same day. But I still don’t spray anything on my bags and I don’t have any problems.
