I don’t like canvas Neverfull and don’t understand why people like it :eek: 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 feel the same. I do like the empreinte Neverfull too! Hope they will bring out a leather in size GM, would consider to buy that :D I also don't like the canvas Speedy and canvas MPA :blush:
 
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.

I agree that LV should give you the option, but at that point they can just sell the strap.
 
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 hate how I can picture that. A Monogram LV paper bag with a giant McDonald's "M" on it. Yummy!! :lol: Seriously though, I agree. A collaboration once in a blue moon is fine but now I feel like it's getting excessive.
 
My unpopular opinion is that many of the htf bags popularity and scarcity cause panic buying and I'm not falling for it anymore. My reverse Pochette Metis was an absolute panic buy. It looks bad on my frame and I hate how hard the canvas is. Not one of my best purchases and I'm disappointed I let the hype get to me! From now on, I will always think meticulously about my future purchases and avoid impulse buys.
 
I don't know if this is unpopular or not.. but the Neverfull is an uncomfortable bag to carry and I'm totally over it. I've carried mine for 4 years now and I REALLY want a new/different purse, but nothing else is speaking to me from LV. The NF's straps are too thin and dig into my shoulders when I carry it. My purse is light, too, because I don't carry much in my purse -a wallet, small cosmetic case, key pouch, travel hairbrush. That's it! Like 4 things, and the NF is uncomfortable. I'm so over it and the thin straps.

I also dislike the Neverfull intensely. For the exact reason you said. The handles are so thin and SHORT, they are very uncomfortable and I never use the bag.
 
My unpopular opinion is that the chemical smell many LV bags have nowadays is very off-putting, even if it does air out and go away after a few days. I ordered an empreinte Petit Palais and it stinks to high heaven. No leather smell whatsoever. I understand it’s a treated leather, and maybe it’s the microfiber lining they use that smells, but I really wish that for the prices they charge for their leather bags, that they would smell like actual leather. In contrast, I also just received a Mulbery bag and it smells heavenly.
 
I think LV is in for a shock. The recent price increase and the move away from canvas I think will cause sales to slow and push the brand into decline. The big wave just hasn't happened yet but I think we are at the beginning of it. I wouldn't rate LV as being on the same level as Hermes but LV are playing Hermes style games with Hermes style pricing. I've more or less bought my last LV pieces and can't see myself buying anymore. What really made me open my eyes was seeing class pieces like the Sarah wallet redesigned with slots and openings missing, luggage sold without the protective covers. So ultimately your paying much more for much less.
