I hate the phrase "makes your/my heart sing".

I don't understand when people try to make a bag into something it's not. Like putting straps on pouches that do not have D-rings for them in attempt to make it an over the shoulder or crossbody bag. Isn't that just annoying when you need to open the bag and you have to worry about it slipping off the chain?
+1,0000
And then complain their items are falling apart.
 
I'm not a fan of the recent collections; especially the Monogram Giant in khaki, red, jungle etc. is not doing anything for me. I think I might have liked it better if the handles, trim etc. were in vachetta or brown or black leather instead of the black/white mini monogram canvas which I just think is a total mismatch.

I'm more of a traditionalist and I love the Monogram canvas and the classic bags like the Noé. That's what I fell in love with when I first discovered LV and I always come back to that.
Agree 100%
 
My unpopular opinion - I love the monogram canvas combined with the vachetta leather - it's my favorite and has been for years. But I am aware that many hate it. I don't like the direction LV is heading where they are trying to create scarcity but what can I do except stop buying. I don't like "Thanks for letting me share" or "I am so in love with this bag" either. Love the neverfull in mono and DE. I am not a big fan of the DA print as it was just released in 2006 or 2007?
 
Not LV I guess (although I have those lol ex: you won’t catch me dead with a speedy), but this subforum in general:

There’s a curious amount of judgement. Soooo many people were going on about how tacky the jungle line was/is, for example, unprompted, in reveal or other threads. We get it, you don’t like it. If everybody liked everything LV made - I can’t even finish that sentence LOL. You get the idea. Calling people tacky for their luxury good purchases, unprompted, on a friggin purse forum seems... tacky. :P

It’s a forum about purses, geez. Let people be.

ETA: and about the “make your heart sing” high horse peeps: this is a forum about luxury goods that nobody needs. No, you’re not on a Louis Vuitton subforum because you need an LV item. Luxury goods are exactly that: luxury goods. I do agree that looking for stitches/defects/etc is silly, but I don’t think it’s silly to say “if you’re spending thousands of dollars on something, make sure it makes ‘your heart sing’ i.e. gives you pleasure”. Of course buy something that makes you happy, why the hell else are you buying luxury goods? No LV is NOT the most durable, a Longchamp will do more than fine if that were the point.

God that Giant Jungle was a hot mess... :biggrin:
