I love my pochette accessories! I use a long LV strap with it and use it as a crossbody. It was my first luxury bag - my husband bought it for me in 2016 for $500. I just recently replaced it with another pochette accessories as my original one was used so much it was well worn. I use it as an everyday bag.
I still love LV and feel like I always will. My first luxury handbag “love”. I’m happy that I have a nice collection so that I don’t have to purchase with today’s prices. Thanks for sharing.
This was a great list and I couldn't agree more with your opinions. The price increases have, funny enough, made me want to start looking at adding vintage pieces instead of newer to my collection. I do think that LV wallets are still worth it to me, and I did just purchase another Emilie wallet. Thanks for the video ❤
I think the latest version of the pochette accessories is a great option for someone new to the brand. Love ur tip abt storing the bucket style too, Tysm!
All the lux houses have increased to crazy prices. I still love them but I have found a lot of quality issues and for the price they should be perfect IN my opinion
Love the Neo Noe’. I have it in black monogram. Thanks for the tip on leaving the handbag open. I was cinching mine. You have a very nice LV collection.
Oh wow, an Olde Skool style video...loveLoveLOVE the informative videos. I still love Louis Vuitton bags, but not their prices & quality issues. I might consider preloved. I smile every time I see your Capucines....so Beautiful. Always appreciate hearing your thoughts. 🧡🍂
Thank you! That bag is so beautiful because of YOU my dear! I will always appreciate you asking if the handle could be turned. Preloved is a great way nowadays. Xoxo
I’m not done with LV, but I’m definitely more considerate about my purchases. I have 2 Neonoes - 1 purchased in 2019, the other in 2020. Since I paid significantly less, I have a hard time justifying the current prices.
I have purchased a lot of LV in the past. Now, however I am very selective, will only purchase what I absolutely love, because I just don't feel that the prices match the value (not that they ever did), but nowadays the prices are quite ridiculous for the quality of the canvas.
Great video, so helpful, with the crazy prices need to pick carefully.The mini pochette really has increased so much and so many cute brands at a fraction of the price out there. Love your longchamp, so cute and great value also,Thanks for sharing your thoughts and best wishes ❤
Agree with your choices. Loop, Néo Alma BB & Odeon are in my wishlist. Also the Speedy Bandoulière 20. Here in the UK it looks like they've pulled the Odeon PM of the site & the MM is always unavailable. Hope you're ok & well✨
I wanted to buy the Odeon PM and have been checking the website for 3 months and it's been constantly unavailable. Then it came up with page not found this week 😢
Wow! I have that Pink Epi BB and I absolutely love it! I don't wear it with a strap at all. I would never pay $7K for the black one omg! The Pochette to me is a childs bag period. It just makes zero sense to me. The stap has always been too short and the bag itself just not practicle. If it was a bit wider with a larger strap then yes, totally. I love the size of the Longchamp, while I have all the other sizes, I just don't wear them as much anymore because they just don't hold up in the larger sizes. The Twist is a no for me, I prefer the Louise MM in Black Leather.
I don’t think I can ever be done with LV either, but I do agree that their prices are insane. Your Alma bag in the empreinte leather looks amazing. I saw it in person a few months ago & maybe it was just the one they had at my store, but it looked very poorly made. I was really hoping to add it to my collection as my only Alma & black bag from LV. Maybe I’ll give it another try.
I think most of their bags are not worth it with the current prices 🤣 especially if you like the classics (Alma, Speedy) in preloved market with a good price. I hate the guitar strap as well, but I think it looks okay with plain leather bags. I tried the leather Diane with the guitar strap, and with the side that says LV facing down. With monogram tho, it’s just a big no no.
I don’t understand the new Pochette Accessories as both the strap and chain are the same stupidly short length. They needed to make the leather strap a crossbody length to be used as a bag. The Epi Alma BB with leather strap still is available in black or navy blue but yes, the cute colours have the naff strap. Love my NeoNoe as the Neverfull is too big for my needs.
I ordered this year 3 times the Speedy 25B in DE and each time it had bad stitching and other small defects. All were made in France and the custumer care assured me they would take care next time but yeah...i gave up in the end :(. No more DE for me, seems to be the line with the most problems, it also looks and feels cheap. I also got an Alma PM in DE with bad stitching early in the year, i accepted a Alma BB in DE as replacement. It's ok but really overpriced for how it looks and feels.
The pouchette prices are bananas 🍌 😳. I did part with mu original one I purchased in 2000. The quality issues are bothering me . I still am considering the alma pm
I love the speedy 20 too I also got the black guitar strap with my bag but hated the strap and sold mine I wish they would of given us a leather strap instead ❤
I don’t think any bag is worth spending thousands of dollars on. I’ve sold my LV, Gucci and YSL bags and I honestly don’t miss them. You’re literally paying for a fancy name that’s all. After 8 years I’ve finally seen the light lol👏🏽
Certain bags I will say yes you can totally pull off the guitar strap. But the fact they put almost all the bags with it with the horrendously large logo it just ruins it. The old Alma’s I loved it was extremely subtle and not logos all over it it was classy
@@vanillaicecream4162 I’m obsessed with their vintage monogram bags.. the quality is unbelievable, you can tell they took their time with them. A huuuuuge difference to the bags now ☹️☹️
The thing with Alma is that I actually have ruined the original thin strap years ago 😨 probably because I was wearing that bag a LOT. And then I have no choice other than to buy a guitar strap separately. So I kind of like this look, because It was the only option for me to wear her crossbody. But I can see, why other people don’t like this style.
I think it is more that Louis Vuitton is so loud on the strap rather than it just being a guitar strap. Glad you could find a solution to keep using your bag!
I couldn't ever be done with Louis Vuitton but my collection feels complete for now.
That’s a good feeling!
Same. I can never been done with LV bc I love LV but my LV collection is complete. There's nothing out that I want. I moved on to Chanel and Dior.

Totally agree with the capucines. You can get them for 50% off in excellent condition on the resale market.
Yes that is a much better deal!

I totally agree with you. The pochette accessory looks ridiculous as a handbag. Love the loop!❤

That’s probably true! I tend to look at things differently since I’ve been shopping there so long.
Glad to be helpful!😊
I don’t know why Louis Vuitton capucines doesn’t hold value. Love Speedy 20 so much. Thank you so much for sharing Melinda 💕
Any size bigger than the mini loses its shape.
@fabulousirene Thanks so much Irene! Xoxo
@HandbagDiva My bb hasn't lost shape but I have seen MM's look very wonky.
All the lux houses have increased to crazy prices. I still love them but I have found a lot of quality issues and for the price they should be perfect IN my opinion
Great tip about how to store the neo noe, I jumped straight up and took mine out and opened it up 😅😂🎉 thank you ❤
Glad to help! :)
I have the Loop Hobo and the Neo Alma PM in the black emprient leather. They’re both such a great bags.
They really are. :)

Thank you! I agree we need to pick carefully these days! Have a great day! Xoxo
Neonoe in empreinte is totally underrated and worth it!
the price increases on some of the items are insane! Glad I bought them when I did. I'm trying to stick with more leather pieces from LV over canvas.
Nice to see u again! Thanks for tip! I have the bucket bag as well!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful! :)
I am in love with the Vuitton bucket bag and am going to purchase, so I really appreciate your take on the bag (and the storage tip).
Glad it was helpful!
Happy to see you love your Neo Alma bb as I just order and praying I will love it.
Congrats! I hope you love it!
I have to agree with everything you said. Some things are just not worth it at the end of the day ❤❤❤❤
So true. ♥️

@@orianthi_elys Noooo! It is such a great bag. :(

I have a alma bb but I never use it I got mine for 1300.but that's not a crossbody bag at all. I agree they ruined it with that strap

That doesn't make sense at all, a crossbody would have been so much better. I agree the Neverfull is way too big for me. I love the Neonoe.
My CA ordered THREE! Speedy 20’s in DE for me. All of them were messed up! I ended up just getting a refund.
I believe it! Mine was so warped I was like how did this get shipped to me???

I think the construction of the Alma bags are solid. The PM is a great size.
I love the speedy 20 too I also got the black guitar strap with my bag but hated the strap and sold mine I wish they would of given us a leather strap instead ❤
How much did you sell the strap? I always want the strap, so I bought the speedy 20.
@@vicky8864 I sold my strap for 750 at a local consignment shop in my area
@@cherisebanks3337 Very good deal. Was that adjusted strap?
@@vicky8864 yes it was
@cherisebanks3337 I really wish they had done one similar to the Speedy 25's. I need to sell my strap too!
nice collection of lv
Thank you 😊
How much did you sell the strap? I was always thinking the strap, not a bag. 😅bought the speedy 20 last month.
I didn't sell it. You can email me at luxpurselove@gmail.com if interested.
Noooo…..never done with LV… LV side trunk in leather version is on my wish list! L💙V
That bag is a beauty!

So saks is selling Louis bags they have ti be real right they are 70 percent off please let me know what your thoughts are

Yes it just ruined an elegant, classy bag.
Yes. I hate the guitar strap on the alma. Alma is a classy bag, not meant to be sporty.

I would think you can reorder the original strap if you own the bag. It's considered a repair.
I like old LV but have no desire for the new items
I don't like the guitar strap either... Would do the same to sell it.
I need to!
I don't like the strap on the Alma bag either
It’s awful!
@@LuxPurselove yes it is!
I agree with you some things are just not worth it, I have the neo noe on the wishlist!! I ordered the longchamp xs in the cognac 🤎
I am so tempted by that one but I told myself no. Enjoy it! :)
