I definitely have a few opinions lol.

I am not a fan of DA at all. I feel like it looks cheap and is hard to keep looking nice due to possible color transfer.

I have a speedy and while I love it for sentimental reasons I find it so uncomfortable as it’s hand carry only. I also don’t like when people carry them all slouchy. Mine has a hard bottomed organizer to maintain its shape.

I love color but hate the color choices LV makes. We need more blue options. And last but not least I don’t get the big deal with Pochette Métis
 
This will definitely be unpopular & apologies for all toes stepped on: bag charms on your LV are not required, especially when the entire bag already has a print/pattern (monogram or otherwise) on it already.
I’m also not a huge fan of bag charms on my bags...

I recently saw a lady carrying a Birkin with twillies wrapped around the handle AND a huge fluffy bunny-looking charm that was the size of someone’s fist hanging smack in the middle of the bag. It looked ridiculous and silly and childish.

Tastefully done, charms can be ok but... still not for me in general.
 
So, my unpopular LV opinion pertains to having too many bags in the same mono. I currently have only four LV bags, and three of them are mono. I routinely come across new bags in mono that I'd love to own if only I didn't already have 3 mono bags! I can't understanding owning a slew of bags all in the same print.
I also don't see the popularity of Epi.
I mean no disrespect to anyone out there who loves it though.
 
I don’t like the term “pre-loved” to try and fancy up that something is used.
I want to preface that this might not be LV-specific since people buy used bags from a variety of brands but I agree with not liking the term. I’m personally not a fan of the used bag route for a couple reasons, primarily authenticity and sanitation. If it is real I don’t know where it’s been, how it’s been used or what’s been in it so I wouldn’t feel comfortable using it. Again, just my personal preference and I get your annoyance with the term!
 
I don't like the look of red Epi leather in any style. I saw this girl carried red Alma in Epi and that bag looked cheap. I like Epi Alma in ivory though, it looks elegant. I also like Speedy in Mono and DA only when they are fresh from the store. But, with patina, they just look worn and tired. This patina look only works with certain clothing and vintage style and the degree of patina is highly unpredictable. Certain patina looks good up to a point. Too dark patina, well no. Wear it with clean, minimalist modern clothes, patinaed Mono sticks out like a sore thumb. Although I am okey with patina in Keepall Mono because they are part of a luggage which supposed to look used to give "Old Money" air. For everyday bag, I will stick with DE to avoid any headache of patina and the brown color matches well with neutrals like navy, dark gray, black, beige and green.
