Reviving this thread because I went down an "unpopular opinions" rabbit hole after seeing the Celine thread get updated today...
1) LV is the only brand that does monogram well. I hate all other monogrammed canvas/fabric: Goyard, Celine, Dior, Gucci... am I forgetting any? LV's is classic and a flattering, rich, gorgeous brown (why can't other brands do a nice brown??)
2) LV Monogram is the only nice canvas pattern they have - I dislike both DA and DE. They look like old-man patterns to me. I disliked reverso when it was launched but now it's grown on me so much that I have two bags in it! Men's monogram colours (Graphite and Blue especially) are soooo nice I wish there were more women's styles in those colours.
3) I love how LV has such a rich and varied selection of styles and bags because there's something for everyone. I actually CAN patronise the brand without feeling like I bought ten of the same bag. And more of their styles appeal to me than other brands (like Chanel, where I only really like the classic/seasonal flaps and the boy, or Dior where the only thing that appeals to me is the cannage pattern - so I'm stuck with just Lady Dior and Miss Dior, because I don't like non-structured bags either).
4) Epi is the best leather, followed by Vernis. Empreinte is take it or leave it for me.
5) I haven't personally noticed any quality issues, but I also don't go over my bags with a microscope.
6) The bumbag and the loop induce a particularly visceral "hate" response in me - especially the bumbag, which looks like the kind of fanny pack my dad would've worn while travelling in the 90s.
7) Some of LV's most classic styles - like Speedy and Neverfull - leave me cold. I dislike the shape. Speedy looks bulky and like it's lumbering at me. And Neverfull is so impractical because it doesn't have a zip and the straps are so thin they dig in to your shoulders.
8) I like the guitar straps - they're comfortable to wear and make the bags look younger and trendier. If I want it to look formal I can always ditch the strap and take the bag hand/arm carry (I do this with my Alma BB when I want to carry it as an evening bag).
9) I've never understood the need to collect multiple colourways of the same bag - experiment! Try different shapes! I wouldn't want more than 2, max, of a single shape; unless it was a particularly rare colourway that only comes in one shape.
10) The Christmas Animation is cute and everything, but it's so impractical to use. I don't understand why people buy multiple items with the same print, or buy them every year. I have one mini pochette that I bought years ago and it is usable only because I use it as an SLG inside a bag and it never gets seen.
