I agree! I recently purchased a leather strap from Dress Up Your Purse after seeing all the raves on YouTube (and have also purchased from Mautto in the past), and was dismayed at how cheap they felt compared to LV straps. I imagine there must be a company who makes good quality straps but I don't want to risk it anymore, especially because most of them have a return fee or don't take returns at all.

I'm the same with straps. I'd rather use LV ones. And I also like the guitar straps but I'd prefer them as an option rather than coming with certain styles. I'd love to be able to buy a few separately and get leather ones on with the bags themselves.
Or Gucci’s current approach of providing a leather and guitar strap with bags! (Although this would mean more $ so maybe I don’t actually want LV to do this…)
Super unpopular opinion but I think buying all your LV in one color and pattern (like traditional mono) so that everything matches is tacky.
Oo
ohh, the bag charm debate. I see both sides to this debate. Actually, I guess three. 1. Absolute No 2. Authentic Charm only 3. Everything is fair game. To me I feel like we can all get along. I can’t do the bag charm thing but I can’t hate on people for doing this option. As for the authentic charm only or all is okay. I look at it like this, I am not always going to like my friend’s boyfriends or mates. So, as long as I am not sleeping with them, who cares, right? LOL to each it’s own.

I don't understand selling bags. Maybe it is because I have only a few (six?) and each of them holds a special memory for me - when I bought it and where and the occasion.

Actually, I hope people think my LV bag is fake, haha, so that they won't steal my stuff from my bag.
I know I’m definitely the minority but I just don’t like the speedy . I know so many love it and rock it but it’s not for me.
This used to be me, until I saw the Speedy 20. Love the 20, still don't care for the other sizes
I don’t like the huge LV’s they are putting on the front of many of the new bag.
I don't understand why the Alma BB is recommended as one of the perfect starter bags.
It can't fit anything due to it's small size, rigidity and awkward shape.
I like the dome shape but it's quite useless in such a tiny version!

mcraftleather on Etsy makes the best non-LV straps and the leather quality feels/looks the same as LV IMO. While I don't feel like paying $400-800 for a single strap at LV, I also don't want something that looks/feels cheap.
I have had a bandeau and bag charm fall off (or get taken off when I wasn't looking) my bags so I won't spend LV kind of money on them anymore. I actually only have a couple bag charms now- a couple leather tassels that look like LV leather and a couple Laduree charms (however, I don't even use any of them and let my bags go bare).
I’m surprised you feel this way! I guess it depends on what each person carries. The alma bb is the perfect size for me, I wouldn’t go any bigger.
I’m not a fan of the new colorful bags they’ve been releasing, while the canvas selection has been lacking. Would love to see the Croisette in monogram be released!
