I am not a fan of any bag that has a luggage tag placed anywhere but on the handle. Love the new style of Odeon. HATE the luggage tag hanging on the center of the bag. Main reason I haven’t bought one.

I completely agree and that is same reason I have not bought it either. Each time I start to think about it, that darn tag reminds me why I haven’t!
I can’t keep up with all the new releases and new collections! Christmas collection hasn’t officially released yet but the Pre S/S is available already.
I agree. Can't keep up, but also stopped caring.
No color at all? Yikesmeanwhile, there's me- refusing to by any coloured items (besides epi leather) because i like things timeless and very simple.
You think all the colors and metallics and elevated materials are cheapening the brand? And what, PVC elevates it? Because that's basically what your beloved canvas monogram bags are.
I’m a classicist who likes things on the simpler side. Monogram canvas appeals to my mostly neutral colour palette♂️
Huh? Where did I speak about elevated materials vs PVC? I only mentioned colors, many of which are still coated canvas ("PVC"). So my comment had nothing to do with materials. I like leather as well, but in non-crazy colors. Please don't try to put words in my mouth just because you don't like my opinion... On an unpopular opinion thread. Lol.
yeah, in my opinion they are. bright, flashy colours and metallics were once reserved for flashy, cheap dressing and since it's become more mainstream a lot of luxury fashions are implementing them to appease the market that is demanding them. if you like bright and colourful, there are now plenty of options for you to select from. coated canvas bags/items are what our beloved canvas monogram bags are made from because they're more durable than and outlast most leathers. if you don't like it, that's fine but there's really no need to belittle or insult the opinions of others. ESPECIALLY on an opinion thread.
I find this to be a relatively new perception, honestly. Bright colors and metallics were traditionally limited to aristocracy. Silk, often produced in vibrant colors, has been sought after for millennia. I'm not sure where this perception comes from that things were drab historically (beyond paint having worn off, natural fibers fading/deteriorating, and black and white film and photos), but this is not the case. Only when it became inexpensive to produce synthetics did colors and metallics become accessible to a broader audience. The popularity was due to the previous exclusivity to the upper echelons of society.
That said, my unpopular opinion is that I don't care about the exclusivity of (or lack thereof) LV. I love that LV embraces so many styles and interests. I appreciate that I can be unique, while still sharing with someone else the brand.
very true, something for everyone.
I think the price increases are absolutely scandalous and are pricing people out of the brand. They're certainly pricing me out of the brand.
I bought a Speedy B 30 in 2018 and I happened to come across the receipt the other day. I was shocked to realise its now a whole third more expensive than I bought it for. In 4 years!
I had been thinking about getting a Speedy 25 as I find the 30 a bit big, but that's almost the same price as the 30 so I'm not going to spend a third more on a smaller bag, it seems crazy.
I have several LV pieces bought between 2005 - 2018 but I honestly can't justify buying something that's shooting up in price so much year on year. It feels like daylight robbery.

My unpopular opinion - I'm over my Speedy 20 after owning it for only 6 months. I don't like that the vachetta leather has changed color so drastically in such a short time (I'm super careful with it, it's in perfect condition just a whole lot darker than initial purchase). It's also too small. I tried really, really hard to make it work but now I'm just frustrated with the lack of space.
I'm also questioning the whole brand because while I like another LV bag, it is also on the small side and I wouldn't be able to use it for daytime use. It would probably just be a going out or date night bag, and I can't justify spending $2200+ before tax on a date night bag. Like pp said above, highway robbery. And I'm questioning now why I feel the need to carry this name brand around. Am I shallow? I'm now considering different selling options for my Speedy.

My unpopular opinion is that I enjoy the LV “basics” and that they are basic for a reason! LV makes some of the most practical bags out there and maybe this is more of a diss to H, but I appreciate that I can pretty much get any LV bag I want without playing stupid games. I just got my first speedy 25, cognac empreinte, and this bag functions beautifully. I never thought I would buy a speedy, because I thought they were too common. Nonsense. I want more speedy 25s now.
Not sure if this is unpopular but I really hate the chunky chains and puffy/pillow type bags LV has been releasing.
