What’s your unpopular LV opinion?

[axlm]

LV should have NEVER discontinued the Sofia Coppola speedy bag!

That bag was wonderful. I purchased one pre loved, and ended up selling because the navy didn't work for me. But the leather and construction was so amazing! People used to say it was close to Hermes quality.

I don’t think DE and DA prints are as under the radar as many seem to believe. Just my unpopular opinion

I like the thinner, pliable canvas on the everyday SLGs. These are lighter, thinner to carry. I only started using these and I guess only time will tell if these hold up with age and the daily beating. Fingers crossed.

I like the thinner pliable canvas too.
I have a vintage bag from the 80s from my mom, and I don't like how stiff the canvas is.

It's annoying when resellers buy all the bags up then post them on their IG account FOR SALE.... why buy things you don't want so others who want those items can find and buy them.

I guess there‘s good money to be made in this business. I don‘t like it either

I agree. This is why I return things I'm not happy with rather than reselling, so someone who has been stalking it can get their hands on it directly from LV.

Just how useful can a key pouch be? And why are people losing their minds over a toiletry pouch?

I think that this is actually a popular opinion!

Lots of people love leather goods, but I found out leather bags are heavy, I only like canvas now.

Ditto. I admire leather bags from afar, but my shoulder just can't carry the weight

Just a fun discussion thread (not meant to offend anyone!) idea that came into my head today.

A very close friend and I had a long discussion on LV today, and we found that we both hold two (fairly strong and opposing) opinions that are mostly not shared by others.

For her, she really dislikes the monogram canvas because she thinks it’s too showy (I don’t agree , since almost all my LV is mono) and in your face. Her personal preference is Damier Azur, since she is also quite fair and it looks nice against her skin.

I don’t feel strongly about the material (canvas/leather, which print etc) but I really don’t like the Neverfull, I know it’s an iconic bag but I hate the fact that it doesn’t have a zip and also that it has become so ubiquitous (I guess I just like being a “special snowflake” type who has stuff that is different from the rest). She actually has a DA NF, so she disagrees with me

So after our spirited (but all in good fun) discussion I thought I’d open it up to the community - also it will be interesting to see if the “unpopularity” of our opinions is really true or if we will find many people to agree with us

I am a male and I must say that a bag like the Neverfull manages to be both aesthetically pleasing and also has a workhorse quality that I particularly appreciate. I do not own one, but I would definitely enjoy seeing the men's division of Louis Vuitton creating a more sober, restrained, everyday bag for those men (or women!) who do not like the Monogram or the Neverfull proportions.

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.

Me too on the flap, indeed on anything that takes a long time to open. For this reason the Alma PM is just annoying. 2 zips not one? My Celine is easy, with one zip and a pull so you can do it in one motion. Plus I've added a fur pom pom so I can grab the zip easily.

I love the shape of the PM bag it's got an undeniable elegance. But for everyday use as a supposed "workhorse", it's annoying the heck out of me. (The horse waits in the stable for the driver to get their act together...basically).

I don't care for the fact that most things in the men's line are only available in some combination of black and gray, with blue peppered in occasionally. Not that I dislike Damier Graphite and Monogram Eclipse, but I also love brown. I wish there were more men's items available in classic Monogram and Damier Ebene. And make brown an available color for Epi and Taiga as well.

It kinda pisses me off that a lot of the mens stuff isn't considered unisex.

I'm Ride-or-Die Macassar fan and I like a lot of other men's accessories and bags. Pretty much an equal amount between mens stuff and women's.

On the flip side, why is the Zippy Wallet not marketed as a unisex item? Every other brand that makes a long wallet with a zip closure for men is accordion style, so why can't LV follow suit?
