Will the Madness Ever Stop?

Buying LVs, that is. Curious to know from fans who had been buying for more than 1 year or more.

I project myself 6 months, 1 year, 2 years down the road and I come to the same conclusion if I continue to be obsessed, i.e. BROKE, BROKE, AND STILL BROKE. This is a very costly obsession and am leading me nowhere but just short term satisfaction. I feel I am working for LV, that is my salary goes towards buying their stuffs. Any thoughts?

In my experience, anything I get a passion for is like that at first! Then I get a handle on it & start to sell off the ones I am not so fond of as I refine my collection. Then I get a lot more choosy & careful.

Nope never stops I've been collecting 3 years it just gets worse

^^ Haha, that is not very comforting to know.

I have found myself slowing down...at first I wanted everything...but then I realized I have to be reasonable and now I am pickier!

Yeah that happen but the bags you pick get more expensive

i would have to agree but if it's true LoVe and not mere infatuation, resistance is futile.

One year ago, I purchased all the mandarin items I could find. Since then, I have added a few items, but not at the earlier pace. Personally, I like to spend my disposable income on other things.

Nope... and even when you're broke, you're looking for your next fix.

I'm not in the poorhouse yet, but you will start to slow down or just put yourself on ban for a while.

Have fun!!

Nope --- it doesn't look like it's going to stop. In fact, I am "needing" more LV!

Nordstroms is having their half-yearly sale and I'm not even going there this time because I'm holding out for the Silver Miroir Lockit, Azur Berkeley, and an Amarante bag, and.... you get the picture. I would rather spend my money on LV. I really need help.

Sorry, but the madness never stops. It was LV for me for a while, but now, it is balenciaga bags. It is one obession or another.

Claire, I totally agree! It only gets worse and where you may refine your taste I now want LE items that range from $2500 and up! And I always find a way to justify my "needs", but I know what you mean about feeling like you work for LV!

I have been very careful in selecting my LV items and plan to purchase mainly limited editions in the future. I can't see myself selling any of the LV bags I currently own (if I want to sell something, it is ususally a Balenciaga). If I don't like a LV limited edition after seeing it IRL I will use funds I had reserved to purchase a bag from the permanent collection (Berkeley, anyone? )
