Nothing good has happened since Marc Jacobs left LV.
Collaborations with artists used to be interesting but the new ones are just like with any other brand with logos added to an old design.
LV used to have nice, low key RTW with intersting cuts but are now just basics with logos.
Fine jewelry is actually really nice. I prefer it over any other current category including bags and leather goods.

My unpopular opinion is that I hate a lot of the new designs. Too many huge logos everywhere, so many collabs, a lot of trend pieces coming out every which way. I’m a very boring person, I like simple things/designs. Lately, I’ve been on a vintage LV bag kick/ Marc Jacobs era bag kick and I just love the older styles so much more. Also $2k+ for a neverfull and $1k+ for a pochette is absolutely absurd- I’m going to rock a Luco tote or a Cabas Mezzo and take my look to a whole new level for a literal fraction of the price :smile:

I bought the Cabas Mezzo 2 years ago and I love it

I don't like anything in brown. And when I think of LV, I think of brown. :-s

Same here! I thought I was the only one.

My unpopular opinion is that I absolutely adore the Since 1854 collections.

The only LV that I coveted before making my first purchases in Spring 2021 was the Murakami collection in the early 2000s, when I was a young 23 year old teacher who couldn't afford it! I thought it was pretty, fun, and iconic. Wanted an Alma back then soooo badly!

Since 1854 is why I'm here on this forum. I bought my first LV 19 years after that iconic Murakami line! I saw the black/grey Neverfull and it was love at first sight. Didn't even know LV made anything that wasn't brown :lol: Got the 1854 grey shawl a few months later, and the Neo Saumur arrives on my birthday next week from 24s. I'm so excited! Looking to buy a few more 1854 pieces soon.

Lurking the forum, I know that many people think Since 1854 is a grandma / dated / busy pattern. It's all in how you wear it! Since 1854 can compliment a look if used sparingly. I mix and match the 3 pieces I have for special occasions and they're now a core part of my travel wardrobe.

I haven't had any problems with the jacquard fabric or the silk shawl in almost 18 months. But then, I don't wear it out if it's rainy or snowy.

The other two LV I have in my collection are gently preloved limited edition NFs - the 2019 blue/red damier monogram patchwork denim MM which I rock on the weekends while wearing jeans, and the 2018 Damier Ebene Karakoram, which is my everyday bag. It's brown, but that splash of red is so much fun.

For me, it's all in how bags are styled. I wear lots of solid clothing, and have always had fun with my shoes, bags, and accessories. It's all about pulling together a look and having fun! So I'm probably one of those customers who they're making all this new colorful stuff for. I love the new collections and special editions, even if some of them aren't for me.

And even though I don't want classic mono, DA, or most DE for myself...

...I'm truly grateful for all of you who were devoted to LV for many decades before I got here. You're why I have my bags and accessories. Thank you!

I have what I think is a very unpopular opinion with LV…….I mostly prefer the leather bags over canvas. I have found the leathers to be of much better quality than other brands, the pieces I have, especially the slightly older pieces, are pure, thick lush leather.

Totally agree the leather bags are great! Even better quality sometimes than Chanel - like the Capucine taurillon leather is yummy. But everyone wants to pay and arm and a leg for canvas!

Leather is heavier and easily scratched, and pricier, also LV is known for its durable canvas. That's why people choose canvas over leather. I agree that their leather is great, but people have too many other choices.
