ARE WE STILL BUYING THESE from LV??? 

Inflation has completely stopped me from buying designer luxury brands all together. I prefer contemporary and second hand bags now. More affordable options now days.

As much as I love the look of LV canvas especially checker print Damier ebene, I stop purchasing them because prices increases when I can buy better quality leather goods or even gold. But I think I'm at this stage of my life where I want to carry low key luxury bags 👝 so I don't make myself a target 😅

I do think that some of the seasonal/newer pieces look tacky, but these classic canvas pieces will always have a special place in my heart because the DE slg's were my first luxury purchases after undergrad. Even now owning Chanel, Loewe, YSL, Celine slg's and bags, I still have the desire to use my lv canvas pieces ❤ I guess they're classics for a reason

I mostly do preloved louis vuitton canvas. I love the thicker and more shiny canvas.

When I went to Paris 15 years ago, I bought an epi leather mini men’s wallet for my husband as a souvenir. I also had it monogrammed. He uses it everyday and it is the only wallet he uses. It is still in good condition. I thought it was the best gift ever. On the other hand, I own multiple LV wallets in different sizes. I also bought myself a wallet along with my husband’s gift. I used it for about a year at most. I kind of regret getting it since I didn’t use it as much. The point I am trying to say is that women usually don’t use the life out of these luxury items. It becomes a waste of money and waste of storage. Whereas most men, they tend to use the life out of these luxury items. It feels a lot more justifiable to spend $600 on an item they use so much. Let’s be honest ladies, most of us won’t be settled with one or two bags/items. If you have the disposable income then buy a few as an art collection for whatever reason but don’t get addicted.

I only got into LV in my forties, after twenty years of being a mostly Chanel and Balenciaga girl. Then, I fell in love with canvas, the very same I snubbed because 'it's not even real leather'. I have curated my collection and sold 35 luxury bags (mostly classics, Dior, Gucci, Fendi, Céline and Balenciaga of course). I now only want seven bags, no more, no less, it's the perfect number for me. I kept a black classic flap, a new Gucci Jackie and an Hermès bag. The other four are LV canvas. I wanted to buy something this summer because I had sold my last (beautiful but unused) Baguette. Thought, for sure, I should get a Chanel from the pre-loved market, as the prices are currently so good. Looked for three months and my only thought was always 'in two months, these corners will be trash'. That's because I love to use every bag I have frequently. Life's too short to save bags for a good occasion. In the end?? I bought an On The Go PM in canvas from the store for the same price and I'm ECSTATIC. I hate the strap but wear it with my other monogram straps. Put all my stuff in a pouch so it's safe, and not I have a super durable, so beautiful, versatile bag that goes from day to night. No Chanel could ever give me that currently. LV monogram has some sort of magic (mainly because it looks good for decades). I really tried to diversify, but there's a reason I returned to canvas.

My luxury journey started with passion to Lv, and its quality and stitching. Then I became luxury authenticator and worked and have seen a lot of luxury through all the years. Now after x2-3 price increases and “dancing” ugly stitching I am shocking myself with a decision to go for vintage only, or even good fakes now! I changed my mind so seriously on that during last year. I still own many high end things. And …I am open to get an aaa copy. Because it is just a bag! No way an investment 😂 Health, personal style and wellbeing, mental stability and good teeth, relationships matters so much more and affects our life quality so much more, then slaving to some selfish brands.

I am! just bought a vintage pochette accessoires and Graffiti Speedy 30. Both for well under retail.

LV canvas bag that are in the classic category will always have a special place in my collection. I don't care if the rest of the world don't like mono prints! ❤

I just started getting into LV. I wish I started sooner because of price increases, but I have a list of the canvas pieces I want and once I’m done getting “the basics” I’ll keep my eye on special collections. I’ve been watching a lot of RU-vid videos to do my research before purchasing and most are from 4-5 yrs ago. I think that the pieces will last for decades so people have already made their videos and moved on. The leather pieces can be close in price to canvas so I debate getting those but there’s something about having everything matching in the DE or monogram canvas that is so appealing!

Classics are forever and durable ~I still use these more often than my leather LVs especially when it’s a rainy day.

I started collecting LV in 2012 and finally reached "purse peace." The price increases are crazy so that kind of slowed down my purchases.. It's actually a good thing for me because i can enjoy the pieces I already have 😊

I am. To me they are classics and i really don’t care if they are trendy or not. All those pieces are basics and usefull. I bought a speedy 35 last year but the new releasses are tempting me again 😊

I’m glad I purchased the canvas basics when the prices were more “reasonable” 😊 I used to continually “scroll” LV website in 2018-19 but not anymore. Nothing grabs me and there’s no need to purchase anything more than what’s in my collection. I’m enjoying what I have. Although I did like the denim Liv Pochette Bag 💕 but I didn’t purchase as I already have the double zip reverse canvas pouch, which I use a ton.

I have a mini pochette, 6 ring key holder, and key pouch in my purse at all times. I’m glad I purchased years ago when prices were much lower. These days I’ll only buy an SLG if it’s a limited release that really speaks to me. Canvas fits my lifestyle the best but I admit I’m not sure I could bring myself to spend todays prices on a mini pochette.

I think it’s a combination of things. I feel like a lot of people sharing on socail media sharing already bought the entry level canvas items they want so they aren’t focusing on them. Also a lot of us compare the new canvas to to the old canvas and just don’t like the new formulation of it. But for those who are more causal shoppers canvas pieces are still a splurge and of interest

Another thing I wanted to mention is I buy the LV planner and notebook items a lot. I have to stop because I have too many now but I absolutely love that stuff.

I’ve been an LV lover for many decades. I started my LV collection in the early 1980’s & 1990’s. What I know for sure is that quality has definitely changed over the years. My handbags that are over 30 & 40 years old are still holding up compared to newer purchases. The canvas is definitely thinner and the piping isn’t staying in tact. I’ve been very selective with the pieces I’ve been buying lately; I purchase more when I travel internationally to help tolerate the inflation in prices.

Thanks for the video. I started my luxury journey almost 30 years ago and I am a bit uninspired by many things on the luxury market these days. I bought items that would last for decades and most of those items stood the test of time. I hope people who collect will have many years of enjoying their selections.

Hi Hanna, you might not believe it, but you were my entree into luxury RU-vidrs a couple years ago and you influenced me to get into LV SLGs. I purchased not one but two mini pochettes 😂 among others. I enjoy them but do wish I could resell one of my mini pochettes. Unlike you, I have no one to save it for and it is still sitting in my closet brand new. The current retail prices are definitely off-putting. As an aside, if anyone reading this is interested in purchasing my Damier Ebene mini pochette, please reply and I’m open to discussion. I have the original receipt, dustbag, tags, and box! 🎉😂

I recently bought the Poussin PM and I love it. It’s so versatile with the guitar strap and chain. Beautiful soft Lambskin with leather interior. Very elegant.

I just bought the toilltry trio set last month…highly interested in the MPA, speedy, NF and a makeup bag from LV. I already have the key cles!

I have carried my Alma for over 40 years. It’s the only LV I own and has proven to be indestructible.

Hannah, know why I love your content? You keep it real. Wire headphones are so reliable and yes, I do have Beats but I also have my wire as backups. I have a few LVs but I have to admit, my clay is definitely my most used item next to my agenda. I don't see myself buying anything LV or anything lux soon. I'd rather enjoy the things I do have and sell the ones I don't really use.

I’ve stopped buying for now. I have enough and nothing new interest me . I’ll keep my 30 yr old Speedy 25, sturdy canvas . If you could do a video how to clean the handles and such , would be interested to try. My handles are a bit grubby😅

There’s no way I would pay those ridiculous prices for new. I’m always looking for a great deal on preloved though. I’m more into DUYP, Leatherology, Quince, Coach, Dooney & Bourke, etc. even Vera Bradley has some really nice new pieces out. And here in Ohio, I’m just scared to carry anything nice. Way too many robberies. I still admire them in videos like this😊❤

Hi there- I am a collector and I collect them animations every year since 2019. I have all of these SLGs and the new ones don’t interest me. I collect all of their clemence notebooks as well! Expensive but I love them :-) I collect all luxury houses notebook… Dior etc… even Hermes 😮❤thanks so much for sharing.

I love all your videos! Thank you for all the great content! I was late to the game buying luxury starting in 2021 and a lot of the prices stated to increase. I bought pieces I saw and loved and later learned they were “classic” pieces. I’m glad I bought them when I did. I recently also got lucky and was able to purchase a brand new Neverfull GM in monogram with pivoine interior that I’ve been wanting for $650 below retail! I’m happy with all my luxury pieces and only really want 1-2 more which I’m in not rush to purchase (if at all) with these price increases!

I have the speedy b 35 monogram on my radar still for travel. I don’t love the price, but it is still one piece from LV I really want.

I used to detest LV canvas--I thought it looked so tacky and loud. But last year something changed and I started liking the LV monogram and DA in small doses. LOL. I bought the smallest kiragami pouch in LV monogram and loved it. Soon after, I bought the mini pochette in DA and vintage sunglasses case in monogram. These were all preloved but still pricey...but I love them all and use them all the time. I think I'd really like the round coin purse, but really don't need it so I'm content for now.

I purchased my first LV item in 2019. I monogram Speedy B25. Now, I have all the classic "basic" LV pieces I want (except- Nice mini vanity case). I have three Speedy(s) two 30s (ebene/monogram); one 25B. All my SLG pieces are in monogram. I have (two) six ring key (one I gifted to my granddaughter); a mini pouchette, a couple of small wallets,(one I gifted to same grand daughter and one I use daily) a PM and GM Agenda, also a toiletry 15 and a PM cosmetic case. Lastly I have cherry coin pouch (which I don't use); otherwise, I use all my SLGS everyday. In terms of handbags & SLGs, once I have my Nice mini there's nothing more I plan to purchase from LV . I also have a collection of LV fragrance which I LOVE - I'll refill those as I finish each bottle. I feel that my Louis Vuitton collection is complete. I'm currently focused on Hermes. I continue to use all my LV SLGs inside my Hermes bags. No desire to switch to Hermes SLGs.

If I started to collect LV items when it was cheaper, I think I’d be happier with the prices then. I always regretted not buying them in the early 2000s.

I’m still buying these though preowned where I can because I’m a bit late to the game 😂. However I have my DUYP items too that does the job for some of the items I wanted.

I have Amal Pm from 2002 the bottom was very damaged I sent it out to LV I paid 435$ to repair entire bittom and 500& fir new handles and zipper! Less than 1000$ and my bag brand new! I had it 22 years! It’s crazy I bought it for 500$ with strap in Germany LV in 2002! I have speedy 30! It perfect since 2016! I have polene cyme and polene numero Un and love Marc Jacobs medium tote bag and wallet it’s huge for medium’. I have limited Tory Burch red camera. Bag with handle and chain strap I use it as a clutch! And I have a Brahmin in sunset but it’s all Italian leather around only middle is croc print with long wallet And I love coach saddle bag the leather is so beautiful and the coach tabby pillow top 18 so beautiful!

I just started rebuilding my LV collection last year. I LOVE the canvas pieces! Monogram and DE are both just stunning to me. I’m building my basics collection at the moment but within the next year, I’ll be done getting the basics I want and then start building my LV leather collection. I did cheat on LV one time and I got a Fendi soft trunk baguette last month. I love it but I’m an LV guy for sure. I also LOVE the Chanel SLGs so have started building that collection, as well. The price increases aren’t necessarily a deterrent for me. I just get what I want now because I know if I don’t, it will probably be more expensive next year. 😅 So oh well! Lol 😂

I bought the trio toilette set which was good value. LV canvas slgs are a good way to have a little bit of luxury especially if you can't afford the bags.

I'd say 15-17 years ago, I wanted every style of LV Monogram purses and bought all kinds of accessories (different size agendas, doggie bag, carry all, luggage, etc.) but now, I am so put off after it became so saturated with teenagers owning these bags and the multicolors coming out. Although the price may keep increasing, it no longer feels like a luxury item. I've also lost a number of these small bags over the years so for toiletteries and what not, I just opt for non-designer.

I bought a speedyb 25 new in 2020. Two years ago I bought a pre loved speedy 35, year 2000. I can 100 percent say the quality is night and day. The canvas is soooo much thicker on the 35 it’s unreal. Even the hardware is better. I barely carry the speedy b and the hardware is already scratched. When I say I barely carry it, I’ve had it four years and have carried it less than ten times. I recently purchased a graceful mm in Azure new and an azure wallet, and the only reason why is it’s so hard to find azure in good condition because of the color transfer. Other than that print, I 100 percent recommend the preloved/vintage market. As long as the canvas is in great condition you’re good to go. If the Vachetta is a little eh you can get that redone. It’ll be vintage, glossy, and beautiful 😀

❤❤❤Yes, I’m still buying these. Actually, I recently bought my LV MM sunglasses case. Very practical, durable and beautiful. No regrets. 🤷🏼‍♀️😁

I enjoy listening to your thoughts. For myself, I recently stopped purchasing from LV because I own almost all the classic pieces. I purchased my never full when it first came out maybe 2005-2006 for probably $700. I can't justify the price to many of those items now. My mini pouchette was purchased in Hawaii in 2006 for about $200- 250. I love the items I own, I am saving them all for my daughter who is currently 9. I just feel prices now while they're worth it for many other bags I don't see them worth it for canvas pieces. I am putting my money towards leather pieces such as Loewe and Bottega. I do have to say, I am happy almost all my classic canvas monogram items I have from LV were all purchased in early 2000's.

I just got my Speedy B 25 DE for my birthday.. I set a budget for myself and it's the only one that fit that is practical and I'll get more use out of.. I've been wanting to buy a luxury bag for years but couldn't justify.. but I noticed the prices kept going up, and if I bought earlier I would've collected a piece or two already so I just went for it and hoping to use it for many many years to come..

Inflated prices (especially when considered with lack of quality control) makes it no go for me now.

i too bought the mini pochette before the huge price increases and still have one in the box. Not sure what I am going to do with it, maybe gift it to my daughter. I am a fan of the LV canvas but don’t find that I need to buy more. I have plenty of SLGs and even bought a few Christmas animations that I have never used! Maybe I’m just over it….😊

OMG, yes!. I carried my Speedy 30 in monogram to work today. It's vintage by now. I also have the agenda GM, a vintage toiletry pouch and a Speedy B 30 in the Damier Azure that is only one year old. The vachetta strap on the newer Speedy feels thin and disappointing. So yes, people still buy them and personally, I always feel great when I carry either. The only bags I am tempted by now are the colored Speedy's which are out of my league and the navy blue pochette metis. Its not in my budget now but it is on my bucket list and I am hoping to buy it used in excellent condition. Great video.

I'm ok with my canvas collection from LV and honestly, before I was really excited and happy to use my canvas bags but now they are normal to me nothing special. But I do still take care of it as their prices keep on going up.

Great topic. I think it comes down to quality and the seemingly endless price increases… yes, “more value for your buck” elsewhere.

I will only buy Preloved lv now! I can’t justify these prices anymore ! I rather spend money on Naomi Crafted and dress up your purse.

I’m interested in the gucci canvas pieces mostly because they seem so overplayed and over priced. I also worry that people will think they’re fake

Great video! I was able to get some vintage pieces and purchased a Speedy 35 for my college graduation gift 8 years ago at a reasonable price unlike today’s price. The canvas leather is thicker amongst the straps and brass. I did want a coin pouch and didn’t get one because they discontinued them. Now I don’t even want too purchase LV products, to many quality problems for those price increases. TFS 😊❤

I just recently started getting interested in luxury bags and accessories, but the quality issues and price increases have been really discouraging. I have my eyes set on the kirigami set, and I’m glad its price hasn’t gone up that high relatively, but I am a little hesitant still

I maybe the exception to the rule here but I actually JUST started loving LV monogram and canvas so I’m still very much buying. When I was younger, I’ve always been interested in LV but did NOT like the monogram look. I started with Epi Leather. My oldest bag is over 20 years old and it’s the Pont Neuf bag. My second oldest LV is a limited edition empriente leather Neverfull with a special print that you could only get in St. Tropez. So that was pretty much my vibe-I started with leather and the more limited edition ones. Now that I’m older (I’m 43), I’ve only just started appreciating the monogram and canvas. So I’m like the opposite. But now I’ve collected a few monogram pieces The last year or so and I think that’s enough for me. I want to go back to more limited edition prints, still canvas. I also just want to say that I’m also such a fan of LV right now because I know people don’t like it as much so for me, it’s not as mainstream as before. And I’ve had so many wonderful experiences shopping from different boutiques all over the world and in different parts of France and all the SAs have been wonderful. So I’m still a fan overall.

I think there are a combination of factors. 1. Inflation is putting a lot of strain on high mid class income families who in the past would have spare funds for splurging but don’t anymore. 2. Price increases have been a bit ridiculous and the preloved market go by current retail prices rather than what they actually paid for the items. 3. During the pandemic when we were all stuck at home with some spare cash which otherwise would have been spent on outings and travel, was then spent on these luxury items.

I stopped buying lv from the stores and luxury goods overall. If I do want lv, I've been going vintage/preloved route. I was on a hunt to find my birth year and I found the one-pricing for vintage and quality is spot on!

These classics are easy to purchase pre-loved. I wouldn’t pay retail for that reason. I did purchase the DUYP kirigami set to try out, and I also only use the small one. Owning it doesn’t make me want the LV version but I’m glad I didn’t spend 800 on the set to realize I only like one piece!

I feel similarly to you! I added some of these pieces to my collection previously and still do use them! (They really can be workhorses). But other bags these days are catching my eye. That being said, I have been really loving Goyard 😅

I started my love for luxury prior to pandemic and bought quite a few during pandemic. I would say yes, i have most of the basics for LV such as Neverfull in Damier Azure, Pochette Accessories in Monogram, Key pouch in DE, Speedy 25 Bandouliere in DE, Graceful PM, DE Odeon PM (which both Graceful and Odeon they have stop producing). Recently i bought a canvas cosmetic pouch in PM size but that is because i love the Flight Mode print which are all sold out but i managed to get it at last. I still do buy canvas and am interested in the Trio Toiletry Pouch but since you mentioned that the canvas are very flimsy, i will think twice. I am also still interested in the Speedy 20 in DE but the price really holds me back and even more so i had seen that increased twice since it was released. May just give up buying them. Will see. I think many have slow down since times are still bad with all time high inflation and this applies to me too. I do buy but will be very selective and will think thru very thoroughly.

I purchased the latest Trio Set in May. I agree with you...I wasn't too pleased with the quality of canvas when I saw it in person. Needless to say, I am still glad I have them now in my colletcion. Vintage LV is definitely much better in craftmanship....what is going on ?

I did when I started out on my collection. Weirdly enough, I haven't had to buy replacements. They truly are work horses. I have had some items for over 7 year and they still look amazing. I'm the type to use an item till the wheels fall off.

I still have a handful of canvas pieces I’d still like to add to my collection but the price increases have made me pause for now. I recently bought my first pochette accessories in the cerises Murakami 2005 collection from the preloved market at a great price and it’s become one of my most used pieces. So maybe I’ll stick to preloved moving forward. I’m sad I started my collection so late in life 😂 but I’m also very content with what I have and I really don’t need anything else. Sorry, a random ramble of reasons 😂 still love your chatty LV videos with lots of eye candy ❤

The quality make me step back from LV and also I have so many classic pieces I don’t need to add more, I’m so happy with the items I own now nothing interesting on LV now. Thanks for the video babe I got the large and medium Kirigami from you and I used them so much so beautiful 🤩

I am happy that I have the canvas SLGs from years ago. I haven’t even considered any since I purchased my first DUYP piece. The quality is unmatched!

I got the same things from dhgate. And performed immaculately if not better than the real thing. Even the gold tarnished the same way.

I started shopping the preloved market. The vintage canvas is so much nicer than what they are now putting out. My 6 ring key holder needed repair & the quote they gave me was more than buying new. 😩

Yes, we are buying

for practicallity yes for LV always ❤

I’m only buying the Christmas mini pochettes as I collect them - but preloved as they’re super discounted on the preloved websites. The full price retail is just way too much. Almost $1,000 USD if you include taxes. Just the other day I found a brand new Christmas 2023 mini pochette on EBay for $450 USD (including taxes and shipping it was $550 USD). Compared to $815 USD retail

I have most of the basic pieces. With these prices I don’t see how most ppl can afford them anymore. I did buy the toilet trio a few months back only because I never had any of the pieces before and I love the pink colours inside. Now that I am in my mid 50s, I just use what I have and only buy when it’s a hell yes.

I will buy my first LV piece very soon I hope : the mini pochette (though it's very expensive). I think many people in this community already have it, so they don't talk about it anymore.

Another great video.. good topic.. I personally have only purchased vintage most of my LV.. started many years ago with new speedy, then my favorite neverfull.. then slg’s .. now hardly ever buy anything except slg’s and they are always purchased preloved .. ( I have to admit I am more of an slg fan 😉)

Love your collection so organized ❤❤❤❤❤

Well i recently purchased a monogram neverfull for work. I needed something i knew would last and be able to endure practically anything. The price point is high but i still thinks it worth it. Besides, me myself are pretty young and i wasn't purchasing pre price increases. Therefore i've never "known" anything else than the prices today, so i don't see an issue with the high pricepoint.

Loved this video! I watched/listened to it while watering the lawn this morning 😆 so interesting, I used to be a collector but now I’m thinking of selling pieces I don’t use. Almost all of my items are preloved because I love the older quality and older designs (like the multicolore Murakami) and lately, LV’s new designs aren’t fun or anything I’d want to collect. The economy and inflation are a big factor these days too. Basic needs are more expensive so why would I pay for something that’s more expensive and the quality is worse 😅

I have so many of them but if I didn’t I would still buy them. I love the monogram. All my pieces have lasted so well.

I have gone back to these having sold or given away my originals! There is something very reliable with these pieces even with the ridiculous price hikes.

I remember when I first got my mini pochette, my key cles, and my pochette accessories I thought that they were expensive. This was back in 2020/early 2021, when I believe they were $200-$300. I am SO happy that I did because I would never afford them now. I have the trifecta of LV pochette accessories, which the Damier azure was used as my bridal bag. I will never get rid of these pieces because I truly love and use them so much, but I will not be buying more canvas.

I have them. But inflation and price increases have been a factor. However, I still appreciate and use the pieces that I have. I have no regrets concerning the pieces I have.

I have the LV GM agenda cover in damier ebene and love it ❤ and I purchased it in London and saved about $200 on it..

I’d love to know how you store your bags and ensure you don’t forget to use any gems! 🙏

I believe the canvas is more emollient to prevent cracking. That’s the past problems so that’s how they fixed it. So it is different now.

I’m a huge LV monogram fan, and Damier too. I have some pieces as old as 2006, and they’re still in amazing condition. My first Neverfull was a Mother’s Day gift from the baby while I was still pregnant 😊and it predates coming with the pouch. However despite being 15 years old, it is still like new, and I use it for travel, it’s even been a diaper bag before, it has been to the beach , you name it. Love LV monogram and I am looking to get the pochette accessories. But not sure about pre loved as I’m worried about fakes.

I feel preloved is always the first option atleast for me 😊 Also there’s a clear decline in quality that doesn’t justify the prices for brand new. And also LV has shifted as well to push more leather material & bags . 💼

I have the vintage flat monogram speedy 40, and I love it. I have an organizer in it, and I don't think I would purchase a new one because of the many issues in the quality. Mine is thick coated canvas, and I love it. I do want the GM Neverfull but I will be looking for a pre-love because I am not paying over $2100 for a canvas bag, so yes Fashionphile, her I come when I'm ready to purchase.

Hi Hannah! I have the Kusama pumpkin neverfull and a couple of Christmas mini pochette in canvas. Since I live in a really rainy area, the canvas and empriente leather bags are a must. 😎🌺🏝️🍍

I know this is not you at all or your vibe and more relates to the terms used in social media but I really hate the term entry level for luxury items. That implies somehow that we need to continue to escalate purchasing, go on some luxury journey or a myriad of other excessive consumerist/status implications. Vs just buying a practical bag that will be loved and well used. These are classic carryforward (recurring) pieces. Last month I bought a preloved speedy bandolier 25 ebene from a resale shop in Honolulu, Ecotown. I likely would not have purchase new from LV. However I also bought the new pochette accessoires from LV directly but cringed at the price. I absolutely knew I would use it a ton though and I have so I don’t have any regrets. I paired it with longer straps that it unfortunately doesn’t come with (just two short straps). I use it with my ebene long crossbody strap from my old Eva or with a mono/black bandolier strap. When I went to buy it I tried some more expensive and newer styles but ended up realizing it was really the one that would work but it needed to be a crossbody, not a shoulder or hand carry. I do think the price is way too high. I honestly don’t think it should be over a $1K but in today’s market that seems ridiculous but one can say everyone’s canvas prices are ridiculous. I would still buy the 6 key holder if needed but probably not the mini pochette and single key pouch at the current prices. The 6 key is just such a staple item for me because it can hold cards and also can slide the keys out for mini bags or wallet on straps. I’ve never had an interest in the toiletry pouches. I have two neverfulls but don’t use them as much but they come in handy when I do. I would NOT buy new for LV at the current prices though. I’d probably go for an MCM Liz instead. Or I’d consider a different style tote altogether. The attractive thing about the Neverfull was its simplicity, practicality and price. A great basic tote. At the higher price I don’t feel the same about it but do appreciate the ones I already own (ebene MM and a vintage mono GM). One thing to note is that at the current prices, Celine is much more attractive to me in comparison. I have the small crossbody Boston bag and also the horizontal cabas tote (the latter purchased at Celine just last week as I prepare to return to work). I just love the canvas print with the tan handles. Can’t stand new untreated LV vachetta and generally avoid it.

SLGs are the only items I buy from LV, very durable and easy to use. Would buy at current price if I need something new and I know would serve a long term purpose. I don't buy their larger monogram bag (too showy imo), or leather bags (there are nicer design at the same price point).

I’ve always dreamed of getting a speedy specifically the damier ebene one you have but the prices have made it hard to justify. I’ve recently started getting into luxury, but it’s not a great time to enter. I also find myself spending money on other contemporary brands that make me happy with great quality pieces. So I think the price has really kept me away as well as the recent quality issues around LV. I’d still love to have more LV in my collection so the desire for me is still there.

I got lucky and purchased my LV pieces in 2019/2020 before the crazy price increases. I still use them all the time specially the cardholder/mini pochette and pochette Accessiore. Im not interested in buying any more LV pieces at all. Im happy with what I have and haven’t been excited about any LV pieces.

I just bought a vintage Speedy 30. I love it - but it's not a daily bag. I'm not sure how I'll use it but it's absolutely beautiful!

Regular brown canavs is boring and so not worth the money today. However preloved Special edition canvas is worth it! I have a multicolor pochette with brand new vachetta, multicolor speedy 30 and mini HL. I hope to collect more multicolor products! I gotten all my products for insane prices! The boutique could never! I bought my multicolor pochette for 700$ when it usually goes for $1,000+ , my mini speedy hl multicolor for $609 when it usually goes for $1,400+ and my speedy 30 multicolor for $800 when it goes for $1,000+ !

Have always been a huge LV fan and actually my first ever designer bag is a Speedy 30 DE. I keep buying canvas bags, however more mindful since prices are just going through the roof. Interestingly, I mostly still like the bags that have been released 10 years ago; the new collections just really don’t catch my eye and seem so repetitive and more expensive than the original bag (best example is the pochette Métis vs pochette Métis east west)

The canvas I have is still wearing well so I’ve no reason to buy more, however, I’ll continue to be suckered in to buying the mini pochette if it comes out in a print I like because I use them and like to swap them out every few months. I would never choose an animation on a bag but have 3 of the Christmas animation pochettes with cities or scenes that resonate with me.

I love the key pouch and, so far, I have two! I also just purchased my first mini pochette pre-loved. (I had the dressupyourpurse version first!)

I’ve decided not to purchase it because the company seems to be giving these bags away for free to RU-vidrs as a marketing strategy. On some channels, it’s starting to feel like a flea market, which has really dampened my interest.

I still like LV canvas ! But the things I want are usually pre loved items ❤

I sold a lot of my items during Covid and regretted it. I did buy the pieces again at full price.

I own all the pieces that you have at least one if not more for example, I own the trifecta in the toiletry pouches. But I have to say I still love LV like I did from day one but I’m also moving into some leather pieces from LV and also from other brands canvas will always be my favorite. I’ve always just wanted to broaden my horizons. But also some of it has to do with inflation. I know for m e I am purchasing more pre-from consignment shops or I can really get a deal, places like fashionphile to me they still are overpricing

My first expensive bag was speedy 25 and wallet for my 38th bday/ first time in Paris in 2016 . I couldn’t go an extra $500 for Speedy B version and now regret it. I’ve since accumulated 2 YSL , 2 ferragamos, 1 Chloe. All leather bags, for just a bit more. Heading to Europe again but I am feeling priced out on a lot of things. I’ve also branched out into jewelry and watches

My last brand new piece I purchased from the LV website was back during COVID lockdown. I ended up selling every single piece I owned during 2023 and have no regrets. I believe it's a number of reasons why people aren't feeling the brand anymore. Quality tanked years ago, prices are absolutely insane and people have been struggling financially and need the money for much more important things just to name a few. I actually struggled to sell all of my LV pieces when before COVID I would have had most sold in 2 days. I had like new pieces sitting in my Posh closet for hundreds under retail price for months with little to no interest from buyers. That told me right there to get away from the brand and not look back. These days I'm all about Coach retail and of course I still love YSL. My 2 most recent Coach purchases over the past 2-3 months were the quilted Tabby 20 and 26. Such beautiful well made leather bags that don't break the bank. I'm never going back to spending thousands on plastic/canvas, I'm done with that.

I'm in the market for a new wallet, and I'd like to stick to a reasonable budget so I was looking into the monogram LV Victorine wallet because I like the idea of the durable canvas. I don't want to buy another SLG for a long time, so I was just wondering if it holds up well or if there's anything better I should consider. Any tips/advice?

I just have so much canvas bags in all the prints, and I am guilty of amassing the trifectas of the SLGS (at least) of the pochettes, mini pochettes, animations, passport holders and cles. I just have enough now, too much in fact,, like how many can a person possibly need or use? it's excessive. I am shifting to mid luxury, smaller known brands. I'm not selling it off bc I won't ever replace at current pricing/ quality.
