Hard agree, I took all my bags out of the boxes last year because apparently you’re not supposed to put them in the boxes (I found this out VERY late) but about all I do is that I keep them in their dust bags in my closet and try not to have them crammed in there. Other than that, I just wear and enjoy them. I didn’t buy them as pieces of art, I bought them to carry them!

I also don’t really get the point of “collecting” - either multiples of the same bag, or tiny mini bags that don’t fit anything, or multiples of the same print (like multiple Kusama pieces etc). I like variety!

I kept my purses in their boxes for years and they've all been totally fine. No discoloration or odors whatsoever!

Last year, I bought those clear acrylic display bins from Amazon to actually display them in, on my closet shelf. So I did finally take them out of the boxes but only so I could see them :D and now I enjoy looking at them in the bins every time I go into my closet. The bins can look a little cheap but they're temporary until we remodel our master bathroom & closet in a few months and I get built-ins, so it works for now :smile:

I'm thinking about a new cabinet mainly so I can see them as well. I do take them all out for inspection quarterly and all have been fine. :smile:

LV, LV, LV. You have to do much better on the women's denim collection. This is not a joke when the Sa sends you pictures of new arrivals and the handbags looks like something that was purchased from Forever21, H&M and I have seen better quality at Target. These prices definitely are not in par with the HORRIBLE quality. And I have a suspicion that not all of these rejected poor quality returned products are sold out on your website. I just think LV is updating their online system to say product not available.

The recent designs are lazy. It started with the folded canvas corners. If you look at bags from pre-2000, they had lots of details: reinforced corners, piping along the bottom, extra hardware and trim, etc. They took more steps to make.

Now I see new releases that look like it takes less than 10 steps to make. The Atlantis bag, for example. Just a basic grocery bag made from monogram canvas. Basic pochettes with a canvas strap for $3000. Cheap denim and raffia. In the past LE were really special. I got married in 2010 and lusted after the monogram Eden speedy. Look at the details on that bag! Strips of leather sewn throughout, beautiful details. That bag was worth the $2000 price tag back then. These days I don’t see anything like it, and the prices are astronomical. It’s enough to drive me to buy pre-2000 for half the price and double the workmanship.

Agree. The new designs are a no for me as well. The older designs were so interesting and character. I purchased the low key hobo and it arrived Thursday. I’m not sure about it. I should post a pic. It is beautiful for sure but I think it’s kinda heavy with my stuff in it. The lock is interesting but it makes the bag kinda fold in on itself.

Hermes Eveylne 29 is a much prettier leather hobo (changed to a shorter strap wearing as hobo) in my opinion.
