Ok here I go:
I hate the Chanel classic flap. For me, it's a Granny bag. Maybe because my Granny had one when I was growing up. I have the Reissue, black with ruthenium, it's much more me. I detest twilly's, key charms, neverfulls, animation and denim.
I love streetwear, so I can't wear twilly's with streetwear!!!
Nor would I wear twilly's with my corporate dress for the law firm.
Even when I dress like a lady, I still detest them.
I detest them the Birkin and Kelly. Plus I heard they damage the handles (I've no idea how true that is).
Twilly's just urk my soul.
Key charms and animation are too juvenile for me.
Those neverfull straps make me sick, they hurt!!! Why does everyone want to carry their MacBook in this uncomfortable bag with no zip in rainy England? It's raining right now in London lol!
The denim, well it's just ugly.
I hate that everyone says the Speedy 35 is the size of luggage as if their luggage has ever been that size. The Speedy 35 is slightly smaller than the Noe GM or should I say it holds slightly less for me. This means it's probably smaller than the stupid Neverfull MM that everyone must-have. Lord, it makes no sense!
The Speedy 30 can't even carry the GM agenda. It can't fit through the opening of the Speedy 30 so I had to buy the 35 so I could take my GM agenda to work. Before long I ended up with the 25, 30 and 35 lol!
I have duplicates of bags that I love because I know I will wear them to death. But for love of all thats good, why does everyone need ALL of the Chanel classic flaps in EVERY colour???
Chanel has other bags but I guess they have to stick to the uniformed luxury handbag collection, display them behind glass and never use them.
I hate to see people not using their bags, displaying them in sunlight and complaining about sun damage. Why do they think they were given dustbags. One youtuber said "these bags are terrible because they collect so much dust"
I absolutely hate when they inspect the bag for any little tiny crease in the leather and post a picture where all you can see is natural leather creasing. And what's worse is the audience encourages it by telling them it should be perfect for that amount of money. Then they all attack the few people who explain that leather is skin, no piece is identical and leather creases naturally.

Ooooh I feel better getting that off my chest in this safe place. I know it's not popular but I feel so much better.....feel free to have a go at my favorite bags. I love that we are all different and love different things.

I just realised, the original poster asked about unpopular LV opinions and I just let it rip......Chanel flap this, and Neverful that, Birkin smirkin, Kelly welly....it's clearly been contained for a while and all I saw was "unpopular opinion" and went ham.....it felt soooo good though :lol:

Using slgs does the same thing. Buyers have been happy with every bag that I have sold and said they looked brand new. I don't let anything roll around at the bottom of my bag. I have pens/lipsticks inside pouches. However, even the insides of those pouches don't have marks. I just don't understand some preloved items I see with so many marks inside. I don't necessarily baby my items, but I don't let small hands near my bags (when I had little kids) or just throw items inside without a care in the world either ;)

Life happens! I put my over the ear headphones in speedy once and the leather transferred dark marks all over the red lining. I usually remembered to put them in a dust bag but forgot once. :giggle:

I am the same. If I don't have an insert, I'm just careful. My lipstick is in a lipstick case if it's a small bag that cannot fit my make up case. I never throw a pen in my bag unless it's in another pouch. My bags are all in pristine condition and I keep receipts, tags, cards, everything. I dont understand how Fashionphile will have an LV or a Loewe for $2500 and it comes with dust bag and strap. Where the heck are all the other things? I keep boxes and bows too. Something that expensive needs everything to be resold. But that's just my opinion.

I keep the receipts, tags/cards, and boxes/bows as well. I do that for contemporary or lux brands. The people I resell to (if I do) are very happy to get all of those things. It is the next best thing to buying brand new from the store themselves. Plus with the new IRS rules on various platforms, you need receipts to show if you end up selling at a loss.

That is really annoying about those new tax rules. Do you happen to know if it's only for a certain amount or is it for any?

If you sell $600 or more (total, so that can be cumulative or in 1 sale) you will get a 1099 from the platform (PayPal, Venmo, etc. I heard Mercari and Poshmark also). If you need to prove that you sold your items at a loss, you will need a receipt for the original purchase, receipt for how much you sold it for, and receipt for how much it cost you to ship the item (for example: envelopes/packing material PLUS receipt for postage to ship it).

I am not a reseller. I only sold some things that I no longer use. This seems like a freaking headache to me so I'd rather donate/gift (new items I change my mind on). Are they going to tax our yard sale next? We already paid tax on the items we have so it is silly to tax again when we sell it. It is crazy to go from only reporting if it is 200 transactions AND $20,000 to just $600.

I completely agree with you and would love to see a revival. However, I think that would make it a popular opinion then as opposed to an unpopular one?

I actually would like to see it reissue. Maybe update the straps to allow crossbody. or longer length for shoulder wear. That would be so ideal for me!

Well let me start with probably the biggest one :lol: I don't think the pochette metis is an attractive bag and the reverse mono print is the worst version.

The bicolor oversize monogram empreinte leather is tacky in a bad way. Especially the new season's bags with the embroidery, but I don't think the embroidery being ugly is an unpopular opinion... it already looks dated.

Lastly, the animations are just... No.
