What’s your unpopular LV opinion?

[Pop Art Suzy]

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.

Although I do agree that the Alma BB is a very small, odd shaped bag, I still love it and use it on the weekends so I don't have to carry my larger bags like I do during the work week. Works really well as it transitions from day to night, and especially when you take the strap off.

I plan on taking this bag to my trip to Europe in July. I want something smaller and easier to carry since we'll most likely be walking a lot and it has easy access.

Bags are to be used, not coveted.

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.

I used my Neverfull for close to 5 years. Exclusively. After 5 years, I was OVER it. It was annoying. The straps dug into my shoulders. It was well-used and there was no point in saving a well-used bag that now annoyed me and I didn't plan on using again. I sold it to Fashionphile and have no regrets! I'm also a minimalist and don't keep extra junk and clutter that I don't use and don't need sitting around my house or closet, so selling stuff (or donating) is par for the course for me.

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.

Even worse is when the YT’ers or influencers continue pushing the non-LV chains.

Not a fan of top handle bags without long strap, it's hard to use the toilet when at the mall and I would never set my LV or any bag on the dirty floor

I usually get a bit of toilet paper or an extra seat cover, and lay it against the door hook so it’s not directly touching anything, place my bag there, then go about my business.

Fair enough. Annoying things should go. I have filled bags of stuff (all fine quality) to thredUP to do the same.

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!

Although I do agree that the Alma BB is a very small, odd shaped bag, I still love it and use it on the weekends so I don't have to carry my larger bags like I do during the work week. Works really well as it transitions from day to night, and especially when you take the strap off.

I don’t use it as an everyday bag. But its perfect for going out to eat. I used it last night and it’s big enough for the bare necessities and even fit my mini umbrella which is a major plus for me.

For me, LV classic handbags are boring or outdated, and the new designs can't shake the reputation of LV's quality issues these days.

My friend always bring alma bb with her when traveling abroad since it has a lock so she feels much safer going to crowded, tourist spots. Never had anything stolen by the pickpocketers.

I never liked the look of Epi leather; it seemed weirdly shiny and plastic-y. Then for whatever reason, a few years I decided to buy a preloved Petit Noe. One touch and I fell in love. It’s a bag from 1993, and the leather is just smooshy enough. And it apparently wears like iron, with no concerns about babying vaccheta.

So now I love Epi leather.

The Alma BB is not a crossbody bag and I wish everyone would stop lying saying that it is. It looks and feel awkward on the body when worn that way. Additionally, the placement of the strap was design mistake and it make the handles look a little weird when it’s on. Top handle only unless it’s an emergency where I need to be handsfree.

 

[CostcoRhi84]

On the Go, a NO NO for me.

 

[VintageAndVino]

That’s not “patina.” That’s dirt.

I don’t like the huge LV’s they are putting on the front of many of the new bag.

I don't care for that either.

LV should have NEVER discontinued the Sofia Coppola speedy bag!

I agree wholeheartedly! I believe it was the classiest bag LV ever sold. I am hanging on to mine.
