I’d say this giant jungle is a hot mess ...lol
God that Giant Jungle was a hot mess...
Too funny. 
I think you misunderstood their statements regarding the “makes my heart sing” phrase. Obviously they’re not annoyed with the individual’s happiness... but with how corny the saying is. Also not quite sure how this would constitute being “on a high horse”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.
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.
I really dislike DE pattern. It doesn’t do anything for me.
I’m really tired of Virgil doing same things over and over again.... chain this chain that. I mean come up with something new every season and not just variation of different color chains!
It’s one thing to carry a bag with famous LV monogram but do I want to wear a shirt with Louis Vuitton wording all over? I mean I paid enough for LV rtw, I’m not interested to be a LV walking advertisement! I want the rtw well made and not with buttons flying off after just after one wear!
I’m tired of LV pretending everything is very limited and I have to pay 100% upfront months in advance.... and then to see the seasonal bags (that’s suppose to be so limited) everywhere on shelves at NYC, Rodeo, Tokyo boutiques. I guess not that limited after all as anyone can just walk in and buy them. That’s fine, just don’t ask me to prepaid three four months ahead of release and pretend that they are oh so limited. In Kim Jones era, seasonal bags are limited. In Virgil era, we all know most of the seasonal bags can be had just by walking into major cities flagship stores. There is no need to prepaid for anything.
I despise hyper pricing for Virgil seasonal bags. Seasonal bags used to be about 30% more than staple bags. Since Virgil came along, seasonal bags are now priced at over 100%+ staple bags. I do understand pricing of these luxury good is base on demand and not the cost of making these goods. So good for them if they can sell these Virgil bags at these hyper prices! But judging from all the seasonal bags I see in Tokyo, NYC, LA, SF flagship stores, either LV is making too many seasonal pieces or people no longer believe in the hype!
I will continue to buy some LV but I will no longer prepaid for anything. In the mean time, I have diversified into other brands as I’m becoming disillusioned with what LV put out lately. I’m sure I’ll come back full force sometimes down the road. Maybe it’s good to take a break.
Death to hyper marketing in a day of over saturated social media.. i also feel the burn out.
Sorry if my post came off wrong about not liking that phrase - I understand the sentiment behind the saying, I just don't like the phrasing because it's corny when everyone starts saying it. It's fine if one person says it and it's "their saying", but everyone says it all over this forum and it just became super cringy for me. Of course if you are spending thousands on anything, it should be something that brings a lot of joy. No one is disputing that here.
I must've missed Rihanna a d LVMH.. I googled after you mentioned.. I wonder if she will have a "ghost designer".They’ve done normal marketing through influencers before but never this aggressive. I mean they even have Justin Timberlake wearing itI wouldn’t even be surprised if marketing this bag was a contingency to giving Rihanna her own LVMH line!
Is the question about unpopular opinions on LV or unpopular opinions on LV posts on this forum? I thought it was the former...but seems like there’s a lot of judgmental comments about people’s posts. Idk, maybe that’s just me.
My unpopular opinion. I find Damier Ebene boring. I did own it at one time but I doubt I ever will again.
Scam bag I can see is popular with young LV customers because separately they are grandma and aunty pieces aka popular with the older crowd in their heydays. Now assembled together with a crossbody strap it is a younger and fresher way to wear them.
What an interesting thread. I understand some of the opinions about the Neverfull, open-top, seen everywhere, etc., but I just love the proportions and the lines-to me, they are perfect and I adore the bag. My unpopular opinion is that I really do not like the shape of the Speedy. I feel like it looks like a mailbox in the States. I can see why the Speedy B is so popular, with the different ways to use it, but I have never liked it and I know what a popular bag it is!
Many of the designs the last few years have made LV ... not luxury ... just luxury pricing
Its so interesting the extreme variety of opinions! I enjoyed reading thru...
As for me: i love mono...adore, love
I like DE and DA....but i keep buying mono, however, my next bag will be Speedy DE, and for spring i will get Speedy DA....obviously i also love Speedys (have a 25B in mono)
I think Neverfulls are great bags too, very practical....i don’t care about a zipper because i love stuffing a scarf etc on top...on days you need a lot of stuff, NF is perfect....
As for the Multi Pochette, yup, i got one, and love it. I do love the trendy look of it all together. But there are literally a ton of other ways of wearing it or using the various pieces. It has amazing versatility....consequently i view it as a great investment....
I enjoy my slg’s too....i know there were folks who thought reveals of them are wacky, but i understand the enthusiasm. I adore my slg’s and get as excited when they arrive as i do for my bags lol. They are super cute, very functional pieces.

I think monogram with vachetta is iconic LV and love it too! I do prefer a medium patina with my monogram vs the stark pale new vachetta though!
It seems some phrases just took off on TPF... things people post here and here only, and never any other forums I visit. “Makes your heart sing”, “thanks for letting me share”, “May I ask how much it is?” (Just ask!), referring time a bag as “her”. They’re little (sometimes annoying) quirks of TPF but I don’t mean to say of that in a needing to “get off my high horse” way. Just an observation that we could poke fun at. Heck, I might have even referred to a bag as “her” here and there! As for that unprompted judgement, it’s always been here for as long as I’ve been active. It’s a forum so people will post what they wantNot LV I guess (although I have those lol ex: you won’t catch me dead with a speedy), but this subforum in general:

I just put a couple of people on ignore list a few mins ago reading their comments on another thread.
