I continue to enjoy LV bags logo or not. Mine goes with sentimental and fond memories as my mom used to carry it herself and I lost her 20+ years ago. So when i carry it, she’s on my mind and I really don’t factor in at all whether it is tacky or not. LV is special for me and plus it is a fashion house that was the first and has history going back to the 1800s. It’s genuinely special to me whether or not people carry it for perception of status or if considered overly used by authenticity or replicas. I have to mention the style of my collection are classic and timeless. Best of luck to those who now label LV as tacky. I don’t agree. It has a history like no other fashion house will ever have and that’s truth. It may fade because of videos like this but people like me won’t let go so fast for the next new thing.
As a millennial who grew up poor, watching things like the girls next door or simple life or even just seeing tabloid magazines, louis vuitton was THE GOAL to Luxury and status. That monogram said you were it. Now that im in my 30s, i can buy myself the bags i had only seen on celebs. I don't find the monogram tacky i see it as a little girl who is making moves in life. 😊 now i dont like chanel double flap, its everywhere and right now just comes off as fake. I said it. And quiet luxury is nice but boring looking lol. It's all about how it make you FEEL when wearing that bag. 😌
love this post ❤
Thinking of buying a Chanel WOC but Chanel looks tacky as well. Like Louis Vuitton, it's one of the most copied brands. That being said, I will opt instead for YSL, Fendi, or Celine.
Quiet luxury is classy, tailored and elegant, most people don't get it, they need monograms and a brand name on their tshirt to feel special, whatever works for the individual.
Agreed!!
LV Monogram is classy, not quite luxury. Quite luxury is so boring😂
I don’t think LV is tacky at all ! All is about the perspective and the person carrying the bag or the piece and his/her behavior ! I can easily wear an LV bag but I will not be confortable wearing the HERMÈS H belt or the GUCCI belt. Meanwhile people raising quiet luxury while they are dressed in full ZARA or HM are so funny. So be you and wear what makes your heart sing !
Agreed on ALL points
What’s tacky to me is when people wear every logo from their bag to the belt, too there shoes to the jewelry and none of it matches It’s giving trying too hard to impress and it’s just very tacky.
@@joshracing55 absolutely !
It's about dressing classy and not trying to hard ie, the LV monogram.
How is wearing an LV Monogram bag trying to hard? I love that print and I can give a rats ass what people think. You only live once and if it makes your heart sing, go for it!!
What luxury is buying a car with no monthly payment, paying off your kids college fund, no loan. Going on vacation when you want and spending time with your family and not having to work if you don’t want. That wealth that’s luxury. People are concerned with the symbols of success instead of being successful.
Totally 🙌🏼
That does not seem to be who LV makes adds for. The middle class / poor. Their very specific in the messaging which is what people fall for.
Quiet luxury has gotten to people. NOW everyone is pretending to be “old money”.
I agree. And it's so plain and boring lol 😅
lol.... RIDICULOUS. HOW HONEY? BY LOOKING LIKE AN AVERAGE JOE, WITH AN UNKNOWN IDENTITY, PEOPLE DON'T MISTAKEN QUIET LUXURY FOR OLD MONEY. DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE WRITING IN A POORLY FORMULATED INCOHERENT, RUN - ON SENTENCE.?
quiet lux/old money is a trend.
😂😂😂pretending to have money 😂
You are spot on. Now people still pretend to have money by “pretending” not to have money.
Very strange.
Chanel is worse ! I will no longer spend any penny in that house: poor quality combined with very very very high price is a big NO for me !
Thank you for enlightening me. I will opt for underrated brands instead like YSL, Fendi, and Celine.
@@janetfalconer2341 that’s will be a better choice. Nowadays I meanly go for YSL 🤗🥰
I don’t agree that LV got out of fashion. I think that for whatever reason, you just don’t find LV appealing but most still do. My issue with LV is their quality issues. They want to keep up with the demand which is causing their production to suffer BIG TIME!
It is out of fashion for the top class because of the brand over exposure to the mass. Top class doesnt feel special owning LV anymore.
@@aam000 😂 I can understand that. Exclusivity! One of a kind, not mass produced but then you’re paying the hefty price tag that goes with it. It is like that with anything. If you have tons of money, why would you buy a Hyundai if you can buy a Ferrari? I meant the average people, not the filthy rich. I personally don’t care for leather handbags, even from LV. I prefer the canvas material but some fashion houses like Hermès, only use leather materials which is one reason why I don’t gravitate to them but honestly, I just can’t justify their price tag for a handbag. Their style is also not for me, too structured but to each their own. What someone finds appealing might not be the same for me and vice versa.
It’s out of fashion imo.
I buy pre-owned LV bags from reputable sellers. I wouldn't buy new because the price is way too high for the brand. Besides, some of the older models seem to hold up better.
Very true.
Yeah same with me 😁
what sellers do you by from?
I have LV bags. I find the monogram piece’s timeless and classic. Am I absolutely bored with them YES, but it can’t be denied that they have their time and place. They can also be paired to a Quiet Lux look. I don’t think people should be such slaves to fashion or trends.
Fashion is a spectrum and there's enough room for all of us 🥰 combining different styles is experimental, and I love it!
I don’t think LV will ever go out of style. Because no matter what you say a fake is a fake. I have been earning good money since i am 18 -19 years old but my priorities were different back then. I wanted to buy a dream house first. I already had house of my husband and father but not my own ,so as an independent girl o wanted to buy a house first so I didn’t spend money on LV . Then my priority changed when my daughter was about to be born. I always had the money to spend but never felt it was worth it as i never thought a month of my labor should go to a bag. Then I started my business and started making more.Now that i feel i can afford it i buy it. And it’s close to my heart because it symbolises that i made it.
I bought preloved after doing very good research. Then i make a bargin and dont have to put it off so many years. It still symbolise moving in life and enjoying it while im able but then save a lot of money too.
@@carrino15 i was very young when i first liked luxury bags.But wanted to buy them when i was 18/19 y old. But my first priority was to own a house of my own. And i didn’t know about preloved back then. Also i didn’t want to buy a pre-loved when i was young. Alhamdulillah i have managed to make it and i don’t regret putting it off before making it.
Well thats the problem, its not the Brand or Brands. I have carried LV since undergrad in the 80’s, and carry it because of the aesthetic. LV doesnt define me nor make me happy. It appeals to me and marks the Journey of my life via travel and accomplishments. Granted, they are appealing to the younger generation as I am now 59yo. But I can look at my custom orders, Runway pieces, limited edition pieces, Trunks and bags, and can say WOW that piece reminds me of when……
It certainly is. Things we own are just that, objects that were with us in a time we remember fondly. Little time machines that can only mentally transport us into moments that we would love to go back to and relive.
So true. Me in my 50s remind me of years gone wearing these bags with memories attached. Very meaningful.
My LV's are dupes & sit on the shelf in the closet, while my Coach bags that are real are the ones I reach for, along with a few that I love & use just as much that are 'no-name-brands'.
I love LV. I am disappointed by some of the quality issues and I def don’t love the price increases, but there’s something to be said about “purse peace”. That state of happiness includes a few essential Louis Vuitton bags for me. I have a small collection of beautiful bags from different designers and their timeless style will keep me fashionably satisfied for years to come ♥️
It’s a shame because people would never say French shit , but when it’s Chinese made everyone goes on and on about how something is bad because it’s from china
I never liked the logo. Same with Ralph Lauren. My boys used to wear RL polos all of the time and I hated when the shirts moved to the huge logos.
I love LV I currently have several pieces but I stopped buying anything new because the prices now are not worth it to me. That said, I’m glad I bought all the classic staple pieces like the Speedy, Neverfull and Pochette Métis and use them all the time. LV monogram is not tacky, it’s a staple pieces that you can wear daily and not worry about it. If the vachetta gets worn, you can bring it to LV for repair.
I think the excessive exposure on social media destroyed the mystique of LV and we got burned out. I own a Speedy Bandouliere 25, a Neverfull, a Capucine and that’s it. The LV magic is over for me.
I so agree but I would add Chanel, Hermes and Dior (I’m sure I’m missing more) to that list too. I live in an area where there is a lot of new money and these brands are everywhere. The other day I saw a lady wearing a dress plastered with the Dior logo on the entire dress and when she turned around the belt was emblazoned with Christian Dior in large capital letters. In addition she was wearing a Chanel classic flap and Chanel dad sandals. I was utterly speechless.
Oh wow 🫣🫣
Now that’s too much. I think there is still space for Luxury and Quiet Luxury to co-exist, but there is such a thing as over doing. I also don’t like weird brand mixing. I’m like pick a look already 😳😩😫😂😂😂🙈
Exactly! 😂
Literally, a money walking on the street.
I think how you feel about LV would apply to all the luxury brand out there. It’s up to people perspective and personal taste. No one can justify how bags look good or bad on anyone except the owners.
Exactly! Everyone has their own taste of fashion, and that's totally fine ✨
I have two Gucci two LV one Chanel. I honestly love my Coach better. I also wear vintage anything, and I have some early Zara bags I love just as much. Oh and I have a frye. I wear what I ike. Whatever is going on with brands and trends means nothung to me.
I bought some LV recently but I feel my coach is better😂
FASHION is personal.
It becomes TACKY
if one is trying
TOO HARD to
portray an image
that they are NOT!
That's tacky!
i used to have 15 lv bags now i cut it down to 3. i got tired of the brand too.
Why would Louis Vuitton get rid of their monogram? That is what makes their brand. I think you made the right decision to stop buying their brand if you don’t like the brand. Louis Vuitton should never get rid of their monogram, ever.
It’s been so overdone on the fakes and it’s so easy to replicate that it has just kind of ruined the look for some people
You are right! What makes a luxury brand more desirable is exclusivity. That feeling you get when you finally purchased your first LV 💼 bag is like no other. Fake or not what matters is that I know it’s really!
I have Louis Vuitton bags and I love the brand but I also wear what makes me happy I understand that the monogram logos are not for everyone but for me it’s classic and stylish I personally think that brand loyalty is ridiculous because let’s be honest these fashion houses don’t even know we exist 😆 and don’t get me started on quiet luxury 🙄 at the end of the day it’s all subjective and you should wear what speaks to the ❤ great video 😊
Thanks for sharing your own experience with the brand ✨ I totally agree with you, people should wear whatever they want!
I have few LV, but also stop buying it because of the quality and price now. I noticed that my old LV have better quality than my new ones. Plus their price is not really worth for the item. Now, I want to explore new bags that is classic with good quality and reasonable price.
I agree with you, over time I don’t gravitate towards LV and I’m not willing to spend that kind of money on a product when I can use it for other important things. Great video!
I have bought many LV bags. I too have been looking elsewhere. I have enjoyed finding other brands including contemporary brands that are well made. One in particular is Dooney and Bourke Florentine collection. The leather smells Devine!!
Lol all luxury is really ppl wanting to flex. Otherwise no one would pay more than coach bags, those last forever. Now LV has become truly unaffordable. Most of the ppl can’t afford it anymore. So yeah, no money, no LV for you!!!!
The monogram looks cheap, there's a reason Louis Vitton bags are known as 'every girls first bag'.
Attaching to material things will never boost your confidence, whether LV, hermes or amazon dupes- self worth & value is an individualized inner personal matter.
-luxury purchases made with meaningful intention is enough to decide how you spend your money.
Yes I do notice lv has the some old logo I get colorful ones that match my outfit. I'm tired of looking at old designs.
Ludicrously capacious
As a guy, I only have 3 luxury items. An LV leather body bag & belt (without the monogram logos), and a black Rolex Oyster Perpetual watch. That’s it.
My first luxury bag is LV Retiro back in 2015. The second was bought by my husband in 2017. During the pandemic I splurged into quite amount of money with it. But haven’t purchased any in almost 3yrs. I venture into other brands which are leather after also realizing the monograms are basically the same. But I love the brand. And maybe in future will buy another one.
Lol... when everyone decides to be I minimalist they choose to say Iconic LV is tacky. Funny how when it was our THING it wasn't tacky.
May ex hubby and I used to buy LV from Neiman Marcus, Dallas. We’re into fashion business, so we travel first class to
All over the world with style, That was 30 yrs. Ago. But then my lifestyle change, I got divorced, my daughter got married.
Chanel got so popular, Gucci and Hermes was very much in demand. Back to Asia, there’s a lot of counterfeit products. LV
Just lost interest on LV cuz m feeling is not the same anymore. I’m senior now..my LV’s are vintage;now.
Nowadays you can walk into the LV store and they would try to sell you a fake bag. Can’t rely on buying authentic even in the retail store. My wife and I confirmed this on our most recent trip to check out the small backpack she wanted. Game over
I bought an LV wallet back in the 90's I still have it. It cracked and peeled and I vowed never to buy anything else from LV. Sadly, their items, still crack and peel to-date, based on all the rants here on youtube.
I've always felt any bags that are plastered with their brand emblem all over look extremely tacky.
the material of the bag did not worth the thousands they charge. no for me
Overall, I have only liked a handful of bags since I first got into it 15 years ago. My likes have dwindled even more….. waiting on some cool bags to fit my style and match my shoes.
you do you LV dose not care I love LV or even Coach it how people wear the bag Tacky you shop at Ross and look high end it the person not the bag
That's exactly right. At the end of the day, it's all material things, and everyone is going head over heels to outdo the next person especially in their dressing. Trying to out do the Kardashians. The bags by themselves are not tacky, it is the way people dress and carry themselves otherwise, such as the person's manners, their demeanor and their attitude. Frankly, the type of dressing when people expose their bodies in a very indecent way, causes the luxury bags or shoes to simply disappear. So yes, I agree, it's the people. I don't care if they are carrying a million dollar handbag, if the person is tacky, no LV handbag or otherwise can help that person.
Totally agree. Well said.@@stephfrancis7109
Louis Vuitton bags will never be over - I can guarantee that!!
I'm not huge on luxury. I have a few luxury sneakers, but I doubt I will be buying anymore. At $1000 on average for sneakers, its not worth it.
Girl, LV is the number one luxury brand in the world. Literally. Number two is far behind. It's over for you personally- not for others, by a long shot. You do you but the arguments around aesthetics are not valid for others.
Yes I agree, the things I said in this video are completely personal. And I'm happy for those who enjoy their LV products, if it's making them feel better, then they should go for it ✨
You sound stupid .
Hermes is number 1 not LV
@@wj1731 no, it's not. Look at the numbers.
It’s also the number one most copied brand and the massive fake market and oversaturation of that same old canvas print that’s so easy to replicate has made it stale for some. You sound very personally offended, she literally is just giving her opinion and so can you, u don’t need to announce her opinion doesn’t represent everyone, she literally said that and that’s common sense
I am not a NASCAR driver and LV is not paying me to be their walking billboard. So no I do not own LV, nor do I plan to purchase from them.
I respect you opinion
I love the Louis Vuitton monogram. I think the Gucci monogram is tacky.
LV monogram is tacky. Even people who are not in fashion can tell what is is. Gucci mono is a bit different for persons not in fashion to tell. I have both mono and LV is tackier lol
I agree. Gucci monogram is way tackier and uglier than LV Monogram. LV mono is beautiful!
LV Monogram is not tacky it’s beautiful and it makes my heart sing😍
I love the LV logo.. especially when it’s my initials.. ❤❤❤
Your right about it’s tacky, I hate looking at purse that looks like a box or a trunk
Not tacky at all! it’s classic and to each their own! but don’t let fashion and style define you. it’s you who define your own style and fashion. now, read it again.
Omg, someone finally said it! The monogram is very, VERY, tacky. It's wayyyyy too overused. I'd love to see some changes, imagine LV doing something timeless like YSL these days? Maybe a new logo (I get it, they don't need to throw away the monogram)
I love the logo l just hate the brown LV bag.but love the black LV men version
Same I have two LV handbags and one Gucci and I’m totally over it! The quality issues alone are enough to make me stay away and the price increase, like WTH! I am going to keep my bags of course but I won’t be buying any that is heavily overpriced and logos all over! I have been checking out a few other brands like APC and Demellier as I would like some nude colors to route in my spring attire but after I think I’m done completely as I have to be honest I wasn’t buying the bags for status purposes but because I genuinely like the aesthetic of them! I don’t want a collection just options for my personal style! Thanks for the vid ❤
A few seasons from now LV will be the IT brand soon ‘quite luxury’ is done. 😏 Quite luxury has always existed with brands during the logo mania.
😂 thanks for your opinion. *clutches beloved LV bag & heads out the door*
Thank you for making this video. I totally 💯 agree with you. I won’t spend a lot of money buying LV. There are greater style of purses out there and every time I see the LV it is it is annoying me. I like Donney and Bourge better quality of purses. I rather spend $2,000 or $5,000 on jewelry.❤
Louis Vuitton has gotten as tacky as Micheal Kors or Guess. And Gucci is heading that way too. Buy quality, not labels. A good quality HM or Zara product will always be a better purchase than Louis Vuitton, MK, Guess or Gucci. Even better, buy local artisans not boutiques. Or have stuff tailored to you.
I’ve moved on from luxury collecting but my collection is complete lol
What is tacky is wearing everything LV all at once lol: scarf, earrings, belt, bag etc. the only prints I like is the subtle empreite and the damier azur.
I love my LV bags❤! However, after spending thousands on three originals, I have a vendor that provides me with mirrored quality bags. There are some that even have the micro chip. Every bag I've bought, and there are a few, have been perfect! Right down to the smallest details!
I don’t think the logo is tacky at all… I think it’s the subtle luxury mindset. Personally, I just don’t like how they use thin canvas for their mini instead of leather, but at least make the canvas thicker… the quality just doesn’t justify the cost.
Monogram and all the big LV logos are tacky as hell. I see them everywhere and there's nothing unique about it. I have the same opinion for Rolex (although I got into the hype and bought submariner, daytona years ago)
I have two beautiful MONOGRAM pieces. The Speedy 35 I received from my husband for my 60th birthday. My monceau monogram is gorgeous and turns heads everywhere. Both are investment pieces which my grandaughter will inherit from me. Timeless, classic, and definitely not tacky.
I used to love LV my sister gave me one of her little handle bags when I was in my late teens. I still have it and I’m 41 now. Quality is so different now, I have a few bags from LV and the quality has definitely changed.
Also My partner was so happy he found a LV in the bins today ( his a bin man and finds stuff all the time ) it’s the Louis Vuitton Kensington bag, but in monogram not damier and a fake. Decided to keep it. Needs a good clean but I told him I wouldn’t buy the real thing anymore anyway.
I got the ballerina Louis Vuitton Rose Ballerine and Damier Azur Coated Canvas Studded City Pouch a few years back and hardly used it and it’s the latch is flimsy the gold tarnished even when it was stored properly and now has a smell to it! That’s put me off buying any more from them.
Wouldn’t complain if my partner decided to get me one for Christmas tho haha. But no I’m in no rush to buy anymore for awhile!
Lv, chanel and hermes can get stuffed with their egregious pricing and wanting to be "exclusive".
I still like LV. I just think the quality of the product is not so good at this time. I have many old pieces that I still use. But just like you, I stop buying LV.
I totally agree with the video. I’m so over the monogram, it’s boring. You walk down the road carrying an LV bag and everyone is wondering if it’s fake or real because there is no much difference when looking at the two.
I have LV bags, they are not tacky. Instead, I love the monogram, I think it was classic. How do you want to have an LV bag and not the monograms? I love Capuccines too but having the monogram is a must.
No there clothes the lv print is tacky.
I've never been fond of LV mainly because of the color choices. And the monogram is just too much for me -- but that goes for any brand. I hate logos. Always have. I have absolutely no interest in luxury. I want QUALITY. I value QUALITY. Not status, not brand names, not luxury. Give me quality.
Can you do a video about Mark Jacobs and Tory Burch if there good quality brands thank you!
That's a great idea, I'll add them to my list, thank you!
I want less people to wear LV!… But for me, I love my Louis Vuitton and I’m unapologetic about my love for monogram canvas. 😂
I just sold my damier set Micheal & Keepall 55 I don’t feel bad for some reason I had to let them go I may upgrade to Christopher or Mountain back pack who knows may downsize to 45 keepall ..
The modern luxury brands aren't making anything amazing. Compare the modern with the old vintage releases, it's like night and day.
Louis Vuitton is now associated with rappers, new rich and low class people. But if someone can wear it properly, why not?
But the production cost is cheap. Shoes made in Romania for 50€, soles added in Italy to have the made in Italy label.
Who knows if bags are not also made in Romania?
I agree with you and never liked or purchased LV!
Same, I thought it was just me, I do carry my damier ebene delightful mm as a work bag because of the fact that it doesn't have the LV monogram on it...I guess I have moved on Hermes because of the quiet luxury nee the Birkin and Kelly bag...
I rather buy honest quality over a brand name anyday.
I think people should wear what makes them feel happy. I think other people opinions doesn’t matter. It’s their money and their choice. So be happy and if you don’t have anything good to say, shut your mouth 🤫. Thanks for sharing 😊
Here
The comment about carrying a bag (whether LV or not) to feel "confident and happy" made me uncomfortable. If you are carrying a bag, or any other fashion accessory, to change your mood that's fine. However, I feel if the bag doesn't have the desired effect and you still don't feel happy then that's not really on the bag. It's more likely something else in your life that carrying a bag won't fix.
LV is timeless and never tacky. Just my opinion
I hate the monogram and find it ugly. I personally think Ferragamo or Delvaux when I think of luxury brands.
There’s a lot of judgement in your reasoning which means to me that you still haven’t settled your convictions about this topic
Truthfully as much as LV has been replicated- Chanel also has been replicated so it would also be considered tacky too! And believe me I have a lot of LV and a lot of Chanel….
Your opinion is what it is because the entire luxury market is over! Over since COVID
I think people need therapy regardless of LV. They basically have no life and buying stupid stuff over and over to compensate on luck of life is not fixing their problem obviously. Maybe therapy can help to get life and forget about bags etc. 😂
I will only indulge in these brands , if my saving is in millions
You do realise that the word luxury hasn't got a 'G' in it
I like LV‘s damier print, Monogramm is not my cup of T. But I have stayed away from LV in the past 2 years, because I am not in love with any of their bags.
LV is as classic as it gets.
👍
It looks over saturated
Same and it’s funny bc I do admire their bags on others 😆
I love my bags. They are mostly vintage. 80’s-90’s LV is the good stuff. Buy used, enjoy n move on.
I’ll only consider the Capucines. The monogram stuff is tacky & played out.
You are REFRESHING!!!!! Thank you
Luxury is waste of money. There are much cheaper products with similar quality
