Hoo boy, everything I'm about to say is gonna get me beat up :biggrin:

I only have a Diane so far because I actually don't like a lot of LV stuff. Love the brand, but I wish they'd focus more on classic designs and improving quality instead of tie-dye colors, impractical shapes, bizarre collabs, or sticking giant LV logos on everything. I hate fiddly closures and tiny handles, I don't like crossbodies, and I HATE chain straps. There's a few leather bags I do like but they either have those stupid chains or are too small for more than a wallet & keys. The Pochettes & Felicies are adorable, but they're so tiny they look like a little girl's purse. I don't care for totes or double straps either, and I think the reverse mono looks fake. And god I wish they'd bring back the Murakami Multicolor. That's the one flashy design I really love but I refuse to pay $2k for a used one covered in water marks and stains. I'm fully open to buying used, but a lot of people just don't take care of their bags and I'm not trying to buy a health hazard.

Lastly- I love bag charms and I think all the little modifications people do to their bags are really neat and innovative. I'll see myself out now lol
 
I hate the fact you have to stalk LV website for a bag you have been trying to buy for the last two years. And when it finally becomes available, the price has jumped by $900!!! But I think this might be a popular opinion rather than a unpopular one. This has made me give on up buying a few bags.
It’s like chasing an ice cream truck to whose prices go up every block :P but you still want the ice cream???
 
I think it's cheap when people add non-LV items to their LV bags (such as charms, chains, etc.). I only add authentic LV items to my bags because I spend a lot of money on my LV bags and I'm not going to cheapen it by buying a non-LV item to my bag.
Agree with this, although I think it potentially makes the bag look fake. Esp adding the large fake pearls as straps, I would think the whole bag was fake. I don't see the point in spending so much money on a bag only to then do significant alterations to it.

I have a totally opposite view. Lol. I don’t mind using non LV charms/straps. At this stage in my life I just can’t justify spending $300+ on a charm that’s going to get scratched the moment I use it, or could possibly fall off/be stolen off the bag. As for the straps, I’ve found a variety of high quality straps that allow me to maximize the versatility of my bags for a fraction of the cost of one LV strap. Some of these straps look better than LV’s straps (especially that hideous guitar strap they insist on adding to all their bags these days). I’d prefer to put the money towards a bag or SLG.

I'm totally a bag charm purist: charms have to be the same bag's brand. No mixing for me, lol. (I.e. No rodeo on a Dior book tote, as I saw some days ago).
