I think most people are looking for perfect alignment, perfect shape, perfect stitching. But each piece of bag is handmade and there would be some imperfection here and there. I agree the bags are getting very expensive, but sometimes I hardly see any flaws in some pictures but the O.P.s would insist very strongly the piece is imperfect and therefore be rejected.
Too bad we have to check for these things at all right? While I try not to over analyze things like patterns that don't align and most stitching, I've had some pretty glaring imperfections that shouldn't have made it all the way to my house. If the bags were a contemporary brand, I wouldn't go through the hassle of exchanging. But at this price point, and in the hopes I will keep it forever, I expect a "little" more attention to detail and quality control. However, I do agree with your post! I think once we post a real flaw, it prompts some to over analyze.

Yes, a lot of people "hate" seeing the . However this thread is about our unpopular opinions so therefore, it's their opinion that many happen to share. Just like the neverfull.

You shouldn't take it the wrong way. At the end of the day, who cares about what other people think about you or the way you carry your purses? Do and wear what makes you happy, and if people are hating well that's their problem. (yes it sounds very corny but it's true)

If a bag or item doesn't work for you as it is then why buy it?
I'm not a fan of people making physical adaptions to items, buying non LV chains, straps, screws etc to change an item and make alterations. Waste of time and money. Why spend 100s or 1000s on an item then go and get cheap screws from amazon to change it so you can use it.
Which brings me to my point of my unpopular opinion about how I hate those organizers in LV bags, such as Speedy, Neverfull, etc. Why spend so much money for a bag, only to turn around and put a cheap, non-LV item inside of it just so your wallet is in a certain place? It just cheapens it, as well as only adds one more item to put in your bag.

I have the Speedy 40 and love the openness of it. But then again, I don't have 50 slgs that I carry either, so I can find what I need without a problem.

Please don't hate me :heart:
 
Probably a very unpopular opinion, but I’m not wowed by the Pochette Accessories. I gave into the hype and bought one (paid way too much for it) and now I’m trying to sell it. I plan to use the money to put towards the YSL LouLou, which I’ve wanted for a long time. Definitely a lesson learned.
I love mine but its overhyped and doesnt fit as much unless you pack it.

It definitely shouldnt cost $1050 for a pouch.
 
I hate the pebbled grain leather on most of the leather bags (empreinte is pushing it but I can deal) as well as epi leather, it's too textured. lambskin and smooth leathers is where it's at but they're so delicate but look the best!

I have nothing against bag organizers for big bags but I don't understand getting organizers for cosmetic pouches, purses and toiletry pouches and mini pochettes. I really don't see the point in taking up the little amount of space that you have in a round coin purse with a felt liner or organiser in a mini pochette. Very strange. I was browsing samorga's website and couldn't believe that they even make them.

I agree with you on most points; however, the Samorga organizer was surprisingly very helpful in my Nice BB on a recent trip. Great to have all the toiletries organized. A Samorga organizer for a bag or mini PA though — nah, don’t see the point for them.
 
I don‘t like the animation prints on the mini pochettes with all that Vivienne mascot stuff, I find the motives pretty childish and the mascot pretty weird. I liked the bell boy…

And I don‘t like the customizable World Tour line. Idea is nice, but the placement possibilitys of the patches just don‘t look good.

Ditto, I find Vivienne quite juvenile and the execution overall to be really kitschy without much self-awareness. The quality of the illustrations seems like something that was created in MS Paint.
