Everyone should buy and wear what they love. Who cares what is or is not “on trend”. If it makes you smile and brings you joy, rock it and I’ll cheer you on! 💃🎉 Also, love the mono eclipse! ❤
Totally agree! However, I already have the regular TP in 19, which I barely use. I also have two MP, which is in the similar size as the 15. I dont’ use clutches so the 26 would be useless to me. As you can see, I’m trying so hard to convince myself you don’t need them! 😂
Wish there are more videos like this where ppl genuinely share their love and preferences rather than another in trend hype that has no personality. Love your bags! xoxo
I watched so many TH-cam videos on luxury bags but still find LV the best. It’s affordable comparative to Chanel, Hermes and Dior. I like the variety and the designs of Louis Vuitton and they are luxury. ❤ I am happy to just have one brand that is globally known, frequently imitated 😂and with prices that increase reasonably in the world of luxury. 😊
Me too! My original large one has seen better days but like an old comfortable shoe, I still love it along with my worn out Totally monogram tote for sentimental reasons I will never let them go…..will be buying the pochette trio to update my toiletries and cosmetic bags though. ❤LV monogram!
I am with you! My last Louis Vuitton monogram bags were purchased in 2004, literally 20 years ago! Yet recently I fell back in love with the iconic monogram again, don't know why, but the monogram canvas is simply classy and elegant. I don't think it's loud at all.
Yay! I love monogram too! I ! I too love my Odeon , I bought it a few years ago and people always compliment it! Love your collection and congratulations on 30k!
Always had a soft spot for LV monogram, such a timeless classic.Thanks for sharing your lovely collection.🤎Beautiful jewellery as always and best wishes 🧡
Buy and wear what you love, absolutely. I can’t be bothered worrying about what others think. FYI, we’re twinning on the My Heritage mini pochette. I’m in love with my blue interior and got the inspiration from you! 🥰
Yep so many valid points made in this video! Wear what you love and rock it, don't let trends or people tell you anything otherwise 😉. Also theres nothing wrong with having both quiet and loud luxury in the same closet, for different days and moods, functions, safety, perception..etc. Anyway point being...im glad you are addressing the versatility of monogram and some of these very functional LV bags. Love seeing all the eye candy as always! 😊 cheers!
Hello Melinda, LV Mono is my favorite! I have the Odeon MM and I love it. So sorry about your hobo bag, that’s such a shame. Oh the toiletry pouches are so tempting. But mama is paying for college! 😊 When our daughter graduates this fall I may treat myself!
It is such a great bag. Yes it really stinks about the Loop. Oh girl when she graduates it is gonna be like wow where did all this money come from lol. I remember those college days well! The book costs alone, goodness!
Hi Melinda, glad you're doing better and you sound better too. I just got the speedy 20 with beige strap last week for my anniversary...and i agree the strap is pretty heavy. And...ups just delived my trio toilet pouches and they are so nice and the colors make me so happy😊. I am a forever monogram girl🤎🖤
Hands down, I always will be an LV monogram girl. I love your thoughts on quiet luxury. I'm over it. I never was a part of it. Couldn't agree more. Wear what brings you joy. For me, that will always be color, and lots of monograms!
I wear quiet and loud depending on my mood. Love your collection! Was going to get the loop hobo but I have heard others complain about the rippling as well…
I absolutely love my monogram bags! LV was my introduction to luxury bags. And like you mentioned if you spent thousands of dollars for it, it better be loud. Lol
I just purchased the new LV toiletry trio and am awaiting its arrival. I didn’t own any of the original set. Pretty excited to use it for my upcoming travel!
Can I just say it makes me happy to see your enthusiasm talking about these bags!! I love your giddiness but also full transparency. Keep the videos coming!!
I always loved the classic LV monogram, and I still do. I had 10+ monogram bags, and several matching shoes, but I’ve since sold them all, only because I found them hard to style with my wardrobe. I still have all my SLGs and keep all. And i intend on keeping those pieces forever!
I absolutely love the LV Monogram. It's nice to see it get some LOVE. It's so light weight and great for everyday use. I bought the new trio for exactly the same reason you love it....that interior color totally sucked me in! I have all three sizes of the older model already.....but I don't care!!! I NEEDED the ones with the fun interior colors! I think they priced them very reasonably and it wouldn't surprise me if the price increases very soon. You better grab them now before it does! 😉
Quiet luxury is for the plain beige 😂🤣 just my opinion! Wear what you like and what you love! I did purge my monogram collection and I have the Sully MM (the hobo one) and the World Tour Speedy B.. love them both but my favorite is anything Damier Ebene! Also regarding the new Toiletry Trio, I am in love with them, too!
Hi Melinda. I have the Odeon in Vachetta in MM size and of all my bags it is my favorite. It is so easy to use. I have the speedy 20 monogram and I use my Pochette Métis strap with it and it’s perfect.
Hi Meredith! I’m so so happy you’re back and filming regularly. I agree with you on this - I love LOUD! I would really appreciate your opinion on a bag I purchased second hand, it’s a LV By the Pool neverfull 2023. It’s very loud but very white, and I’m terrified to wear it. I’ve only worn it twice and I was a nervous wreck. I have the unboxing in my channel, it’s my latest video. Can you please take a look and let me know what you think, if you have the chance? Thank you and welcome back!
Also, I don’t understand the Margaux bag either. I don’t find it appealing in any way, shape, or form. I also am not fond of the Row in general. I also am not on the quiet luxury trend. Sometimes I want my logos, sometimes I don’t! It’s just however I feel. I LOVE loud and I don’t rly love quiet, but I do like it sometimes.
Oh my God!!! The opening line is a cracker!!!! Lol Melinda, you are my ray of sunshine. You always always have been. Sidenote, way to make me set off a massive regret!! that bag and it’s contrast black leather is nothing short of amazing, I just wanna say there are times when we part with bags to look or finance other things and sure it’s necessary at times but other times we look back and realize just what an amazing item it was.!! ❤
Fab collection! Love the Graceful in mono. Have the pm size in damier ebene but only used it twice😢 i have decided to part ways with it. Want to try track it down in monogram! ❤
I have always loved the LV monogram bags no matter what others thought or said ! It is classic and represent the brand history . I bought recently a vintage Montsouris backpack from 2000 area🎒 coz it is the most beautiful backpack IMO and deserves to be loved , used and repaired if needed .
I buy what I like. I love all of your LV monogram bags. I actually want the Neo MM. I have the LV dauphine monogram and I’m enjoying it. Thank you for sharing your lovely collection.🩵🩵🩵
I'm a monogram girl. Most of my bags & slg's are in monogram. I have a neverfull & speedy B30 in azur & another speedy b 30 in damier ebene & the rest are all monogram.
I love the monogram bags the best. I do have other colors and leather bags. I sold my Graceful with the red interior and bought with the tan interior! I’m in love with it now. Red just didn’t do it for me. Love your video.
I think it’s ridiculous! Only beige, black, gray, who said that’s “ quiet luxury?” It’s just neutral colors! lol I agree about the Row ! Not around long enough to be on Hermes level ! I love monogram too! I’m here for wearing what brings you joy. Monogram just brings me joy . Thx for doing this video! I’ve been wanting to address this topic for awhile. Have a great rest of the day my friend ❤
Great Video and thanks for sharing the update on your Loop Hobo, I literally was planning to purchase the exact bag, I’m a little nervous now, maybe I’ll just opt for the Empreinte version. 💕
I’m kinda wanting the new toiletry bags. Love the fun interior colors. I have the original 26 & 15 but am missing the 19 (which I think I would use the most!). The price point isn’t too bad either. But I would love the new Flight mode cosmetic line, super cute and fun.
LV shearling bags definitely influenced others like Michael Kors, etc. to come out with shearling bags too. I really do want to get one of those next season. They look so cozy.
YSL had a shearing Niki the year or 2 before the LV and I saw on one of the Real Housewives of BH Kyle carrying a shearling Chanel. Glad other designers have it in too!
Enjoyed the video. You have a great collection. I don't like when a bag has a city name on it. Like the Coach New York labeling on the tote bag. I think the prettiest label is the YSL in gold on black.
HI Melinda, Hope you are feeling much better. Wonderful videos. I Love monogram, and a lot of other prints too. You have a beautiful monogram collection!! My husband and I will be going to Hawaii next month for our 35th wedding anniversary, and Im hoping I can get that Graceful bag in the pm size.😀
Everyone should love what they love and not worry about a trend. I purchased the trio toiletry pouches because I never had the original and I love the pops of color so much 🩷❤️🩷
LV is thee Best love my monogram and will wear it till I'm gone then my family can wear it cuz it lasts that long. I have several bags and cosmetic/toiletry items that are 30 and 40 years old and still going strong!
Thank you for posting this video, always an interesting subject. I think the whole quiet luxury thing was less so about being like everyone else and wearing all neutrals etc as you state early in the video but more so about wanting to be more understated and less like a walking brand advertisement. There also could be occasions where logo heavy pieces might not be appropriate to wear. I think “quiet luxury” is somewhat of a trend just like logo mania but there’s also some validity to it. Appreciate your thoughts on this topic though!
Yes I can understand that, even in HS my husband would not wear a logo because of that reason of being an advertisement. I think there is room for both though and I have quiet lux and loud lux, I don't think one nor the other needs to be exclusive. Thank you!
@@LuxPurselove 100% agree that there's a place for both depending on the occasion and that anyone can wear either style according to their comfort levels/budgets.
Love the Trevi! For a while, Damier Ebene was the most of its kind that you would see in my collection. Now I have an even mix of monogram and Damier Ebene. LV’s monogram is pretty. I have Empreinte but in the giant LV which is loud in a softer voice (🤭) but I personally love. ❤️
To my mind, The Row is like Victoria Beckham in that neither of them have been around long enough to command the prices they do; there’s zero history to them and any longevity can’t be ascertained yet. Baby Brands need to be priced better. At this point I feel they’re designing and selling to friends only, the same with Phoebe Philo’s latest venture. I really like what they offer but not enough to part with that kind of money. Love the look of LV monogram canvas with a nice patina on others but not on me. I’ve 2 monogram bags which I love but they are small. I like the Gucci monogram too but especially on their travel bags. If you love any monogram, wear it with pride!
I saw someone post on Facebook about a rippling Loop Hobo GM ( that’s the original name, they’ve since dropped the GM). I wonder if it’s the canvas or the structure of the bag?
I agree with your friend!! Luxury is luxury because of the label. But also, to your point….wear what you love! Great video….I always look forward to your content🩵
bye to quiet lux and take your bags with you lol. ty for doing this. i noticed the quiet lux came out/rose during the last season of succession. but I agree with you friend I want others to know! but more importantly, I want hubby to know and worry lol.
Omg this is such a funny coincidence. I just recently started using my monogram bags again too… I’ve been very much into Hermes but I’m so in love with the playful Monogram Canvas again. 😅❤
New subbie here! I love LV Monogram and your collection is classic and timeless! I recently did a short about why I love the “basic” Monogram Neverfull GM! Quiet luxury has no place in my collection; I want my luxury to be screaming!😂 Great video! TFS!🥰
Thank you for a great video. I have never been one to do quite anything so “quiet luxury” never hit my vocabulary. 😂 Love the LV Monogram and Damier Ebene! Have several,of each in my collection. One of my favorites is the Odeon MM in the Damier Ebene. Have been thinking about the Monogram in the MM with Vachetta trim. Maybe better get with my SA if there’s rumors of being discontinued.
i generally don't prefer logos or repeating logos. However I wear bright colours, strong patterns and even have some bling bling in my clothes, so having a monogram bag is just too much of a clash. My bags have certain details like scalloping or gold hardware.
I love LV monogram and I also don’t care if people say it’s loud. If I’m buying a very plain bag, I’d rather buy a cheap no name brand for a fraction of a cost. I’m going to buy the graceful MM, you sold me on that one! Great video!
First time hearing about the Row, agree don’t believe that is a luxury brand. I just saw the newly released trio toilet pouches from LV, I think I will purchase it. I always wanted the Neverfull too. Great topic.
Finally someone said it. I love and prefer canvas version over leather ones. They are more affordable and age really well unlike leather which just looks so worn out after few uses. And also you just dont have to baby the canvas bags.
That's funny you say that because when I was out the other day I saw 3 very old monogram bags other women were carrying and I thought how beautiful they looked!
I love to see all the monogram pieces. I’m 100% not a quiet luxury girl lol. I love for my bags to scream luxury, but to each their own. I just can’t pay all this money for a bag that I can’t even see the brand. No hiding it for me call me what you want but I want to see the brand of my bag. Monogram is my favorite print from LV!!!❤❤ PS you don’t need the new toiletries even though they have those gorgeous interior colors. Believe me I’ve tried to make every excuse why I needed them even contemplated selling my trifecta just for those🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️.
I love monogram but only on certain pieces. It’s timeless/classic for sure and I think it looks better the more beat up it gets! I love a more neutral vibe so the quiet luxury thing kind of appeals to me but I do wear colourful things when I feel like it. I have seen that bag from The Row in person and I love it. I don’t like when people recognise I’m wearing something expensive because I feel less safe etc. I love that we all like different things x
I love we can all like different things too and have conversations about them. I think I remember you doing a video a long time ago either on DE or monogram and you felt it didn't match much? I might be wrong but I found it a good video!
@@LuxPurselove I do find the contrast of the monogram with a lot of vachetta quite busy say if I’m wearing g print in summer but I do like it against neutrals. DE has always been my favourite print not sure why but I don’t wear it in summer much. At the moment I’m really into tan leather bags they just seem to go with everything x
Melinda-I value your opinion and am debating ordering the dress your purse Vachetta strap for my Cluny bag((the fabric strap is just not my style). I am currently using the monogram strap from my Pochette Metis but would like to get the Vachetta strap before my handle begins to patina-(my husband loves LV and purchased at Christmas-and I love the bag!) I know it is a huge price savings but wonder about the longevity of the hardware over time. Any thoughts?
My strap is from Organize my bag not dress up your purse. I have had the strap well over a year and the hardware is showing no wear and it matches the LV hardware perfectly and it is tanning the same as the LV leather. I am super happy with the quality.
I watched someone unbox the trio pouches and I convinced myself that I don’t need any more pouches but now I watch your video and I want them again. I am such a pouch girl. I love the interior colors which I never thought I would like either since I like the classic beige. Ugh, I think we should purchase LOL!! That TH-camr broke down the prices and said this trio is cheaper that buying the discontinued set separately.
@@LuxPurselove I’m trying to be good too but I have this feeling that they’re going to sell out and then they’ll be a price increase shortly after. I would totally convert the larger bag to a shoulder bag and use the other two as a cosmetic case and a catch all. Mind you, I already own the middle size (I think it’s the 19) but I can’t stop thinking about it. 🤦🏻♀️
I completely agree with your thoughts about quiet luxury, the Row as a brand (I would never pay those prices either for their brand plus to me their bags remind me of large bowling bags or a luggage bag). I thought I felt this way because of my age, but my daughter is in her 20s and she feels the same way. In fact she likes them even less than I do. LV monogram was my firtst love within the luxury handbags and although I have bought handbags from other Luxury designer brands, LV mono will always be my favorite. I own LV mono bags that are now considered vintage and they still look amazing and I still wear them.
I love logos quiet luxury is boring. Btw I got the toiletries set the interior colors are gorgeous but I see that with what you have I wouldn’t get them again 😂 love your collection and I’m glad you feeling better ❤
That is very interesting, I don't think about what other people do or do not have when I wear what I like. I figure most people don't care what I am wearing. I love DE too.
Love ❤️ the title of this video 📼📼📼 of yours Dear Melinda and totally 💯 👍🏻 share it! I do own LV Monograms and LV DE and still LOVE 🧡 🥰 ❤️ them & wear them. BTW that LV Toiletry trio pouches 👝 is blinking at me 😉😉😉🙂↔️🙂↔️🙂↔️. Thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing Dear 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹
I have my quiet luxury days. I have my loud luxury days. There’s enough days in the year to cover both 😊
Yes to that!
Absolutely!!
💯
LV monogram was, is and always will be the BEST❤🎉😊
Yes!!! :)
Everyone should buy and wear what they love. Who cares what is or is not “on trend”. If it makes you smile and brings you joy, rock it and I’ll cheer you on! 💃🎉
Also, love the mono eclipse! ❤
I totally agree! :)
Monogram is timeless and classic. It’s just like fine 🍷 only gets better
Louis Vuitton canvas is simply timeless. So chic, I’ll always adore it!
Me too!
Congrats on 30K. I love LV monogram I don’t do quiet luxury I spend my money and I’m gonna wear it loud and proud ❤TFS
Thank you! I love that!
I LOVE the LV monogra canvas. I just can’t get over how beautiful it is😍🤩
I totally agree!🩷
I actually love those new toiletry pouches so even though I have no need....they are really really adorable with the interiors!
They are so darn cute!😩Trying to say no!😅
Totally agree! However, I already have the regular TP in 19, which I barely use. I also have two MP, which is in the similar size as the 15. I dont’ use clutches so the 26 would be useless to me. As you can see, I’m trying so hard to convince myself you don’t need them! 😂

Thank you so much! I am so sick of the trend hypes.
And YES, The HIDUPZ Tote! I have in Candy Pink and I've been rocking my "Barbie" bag all summer. Yay!
I watched so many TH-cam videos on luxury bags but still find LV the best. It’s affordable comparative to Chanel, Hermes and Dior. I like the variety and the designs of Louis Vuitton and they are luxury. ❤ I am happy to just have one brand that is globally known, frequently imitated 😂and with prices that increase reasonably in the world of luxury. 😊

I love my monogram too and I will be looking to get the new toiletry pouch set.
It is so darn cute!!
Me too! My original large one has seen better days but like an old comfortable shoe, I still love it along with my worn out Totally monogram tote for sentimental reasons I will never let them go…..will be buying the pochette trio to update my toiletries and cosmetic bags though. ❤LV monogram!
I love monogram print! Timeless pieces! Thank you for this video! I totally agree with everything you said! ❤
I am with you! My last Louis Vuitton monogram bags were purchased in 2004, literally 20 years ago! Yet recently I fell back in love with the iconic monogram again, don't know why, but the monogram canvas is simply classy and elegant. I don't think it's loud at all.
I totally agree! A lot of people see it as loud and it really isn't!
Love your new limited LV rattan made handbag . It is beautiful n the color combination is great .
Thank you!

Thanks so much! Yes I agree, I have several quiet luxury bags that I adore too but there's nothing wrong with a little logo too! :)
Honestly can’t wait for the dedicated graceful video. I just bought one in damier ebene and it is the best bag I own by leaps.
Coming soon! :) Congrats on yours!
Imo LV canvas is iconic. It will never go out of style ❤❤
Totally agree!
love the green blouse. beautiful color on you.

I wear quiet and loud depending on my mood. Love your collection! Was going to get the loop hobo but I have heard others complain about the rippling as well…
Thank you! I wear both too. It is such a bummer about the loop.
I absolutely love my monogram bags! LV was my introduction to luxury bags. And like you mentioned if you spent thousands of dollars for it, it better be loud. Lol
Me too! And yes it needs to be loud lol. :)
Thanks for sharing! Lovely video; I am not into quite luxury, I love the monogram pieces. i own 10.
Love that!
I just purchased the new LV toiletry trio and am awaiting its arrival. I didn’t own any of the original set. Pretty excited to use it for my upcoming travel!
Yay! Congrats!
I love this I agree with you! Love LV monogram canvas 😊 Graceful is my absolute favorite have two of them so easy and lightweight
Thank you! I am so tempted to get a MM in DE too! :)

Thank you for sharing!!! Nice video!!!!
Thank you!
It’s so funny…I have the same bags! Except the Loop which I have been thinking about. Maybe I will reconsider getting it. Thanks for the video.
We have great taste! Maybe look at it in the empreinte, I think it would hold up better.
Wear what you want and don’t care about what other people think, thanks for the video xx
I agree!

I agree with you about the Row Im mainly have LV bags in my collection all monogram except one it's in a plum color vernis leather!
I meant I not Im 😂
That sounds beautiful!
Fab collection! Love the Graceful in mono. Have the pm size in damier ebene but only used it twice😢 i have decided to part ways with it. Want to try track it down in monogram! ❤
Thank you! Is the DE uncomfortable? I haven't tried that one on. Hope you find your mono one!
No its very comfortable! Dont think its available now 🎉❤

Great Video and thanks for sharing the update on your Loop Hobo, I literally was planning to purchase the exact bag, I’m a little nervous now, maybe I’ll just opt for the Empreinte version. 💕
Honestly I would go for the empriente. I don't trust the bag wouldn't do that again. And thank you!
I’m kinda wanting the new toiletry bags. Love the fun interior colors. I have the original 26 & 15 but am missing the 19 (which I think I would use the most!). The price point isn’t too bad either. But I would love the new Flight mode cosmetic line, super cute and fun.
They are so cute! I haven't seen the flight mode one and I am not looking lol.
Yessss Melinda I agree I love my monogram pieces
Yes to monogram!
The Trio Toiletry is a MUST have! Seriously getting FOMO .... the Rose B. interior is a MUST have!🌸🌸🌸
It is soooo darn cute!
LV shearling bags definitely influenced others like Michael Kors, etc. to come out with shearling bags too. I really do want to get one of those next season. They look so cozy.
YSL had a shearing Niki the year or 2 before the LV and I saw on one of the Real Housewives of BH Kyle carrying a shearling Chanel. Glad other designers have it in too!
Loved this video Melinda! I am never going to stop rocking my monogram and that Margaux bag is just plain and ugly! A Birkin it is not!❤
Thank you! It looks like a warped Alma or Boldie to me a Birkin it is not! Xoxo
@@LuxPurselove Fashionphile doesn’t even carry the brand. That tells your it’s NOT lux!
@@baileymorgan9923 That is HILARIOUS!😂
Enjoyed the video. You have a great collection. I don't like when a bag has a city name on it. Like the Coach New York labeling on the tote bag. I think the prettiest label is the YSL in gold on black.
Thank you! Yes the YSL logo is pretty.
HI Melinda,
Hope you are feeling much better. Wonderful videos. I Love monogram, and a lot of other prints too. You have a beautiful monogram collection!! My husband and I will be going to Hawaii next month for our 35th wedding anniversary, and Im hoping I can get that Graceful bag in the pm size.😀
Thank you so much Rose, I am much better. Congratulations on your anniversary and I hope you find your bag in Hawaii! Have a fun trip! Xoxo
as a practical yet classy bag lover I would always love LV monogram. The latest collection is so pretty too and would be waiting what you got!
I totally agree!
I’m so happy to see this…and I haven’t even watched it yet!! Lol
@LIN-wt8dk SNAP! I'm in the UK, so off to bed to listen to this✨
Thank you Lin lol!
Everyone should love what they love and not worry about a trend. I purchased the trio toiletry pouches because I never had the original and I love the pops of color so much 🩷❤️🩷
Yay! Congrats!
“Where what you want” I’m right there with ya!!
That's what we should do! :)
@@LuxPurseloveit is!
LV is thee Best love my monogram and will wear it till I'm gone then my family can wear it cuz it lasts that long. I have several bags and cosmetic/toiletry items that are 30 and 40 years old and still going strong!
That is great!
Thank you for posting this video, always an interesting subject. I think the whole quiet luxury thing was less so about being like everyone else and wearing all neutrals etc as you state early in the video but more so about wanting to be more understated and less like a walking brand advertisement. There also could be occasions where logo heavy pieces might not be appropriate to wear. I think “quiet luxury” is somewhat of a trend just like logo mania but there’s also some validity to it.
Appreciate your thoughts on this topic though!
Yes I can understand that, even in HS my husband would not wear a logo because of that reason of being an advertisement. I think there is room for both though and I have quiet lux and loud lux, I don't think one nor the other needs to be exclusive. Thank you!
@@LuxPurselove 100% agree that there's a place for both depending on the occasion and that anyone can wear either style according to their comfort levels/budgets.
Love the Trevi! For a while, Damier Ebene was the most of its kind that you would see in my collection. Now I have an even mix of monogram and Damier Ebene. LV’s monogram is pretty. I have Empreinte but in the giant LV which is loud in a softer voice (🤭) but I personally love. ❤️
I love all of them! :)
@@LuxPurselove ❤️
To my mind, The Row is like Victoria Beckham in that neither of them have been around long enough to command the prices they do; there’s zero history to them and any longevity can’t be ascertained yet. Baby Brands need to be priced better. At this point I feel they’re designing and selling to friends only, the same with Phoebe Philo’s latest venture. I really like what they offer but not enough to part with that kind of money. Love the look of LV monogram canvas with a nice patina on others but not on me. I’ve 2 monogram bags which I love but they are small. I like the Gucci monogram too but especially on their travel bags. If you love any monogram, wear it with pride!
Totally agree with you on all 3 brands. None of them impress me enough to buy anything. Yes wear it with pride!
What’s so funny is I’ve been wearing my speedy bandolier in monogram all week ! ❤
Great bag!
I saw someone post on Facebook about a rippling Loop Hobo GM ( that’s the original name, they’ve since dropped the GM).
I wonder if it’s the canvas or the structure of the bag?
I personally think it is due to the structure of the bag but LV will probably say it is a bad batch of canvas.
@@LuxPurselove I love that bag. I guess we need to see if the problem persists.
I agree with your friend!! Luxury is luxury because of the label. But also, to your point….wear what you love! Great video….I always look forward to your content🩵
Thank you so much!
Hi MELINDA, The graceful mm is my favorite bag I got it a few months ago and I just love it!! ❤
It's so good! I am loving mine too, congrats!
bye to quiet lux and take your bags with you lol. ty for doing this. i noticed the quiet lux came out/rose during the last season of succession. but I agree with you friend I want others to know! but more importantly, I want hubby to know and worry lol.
I have never watched that but I know it is so popular. I don't need a $1000 no name t shirt any more than a 7k bag. LOL on the hubby! Xoxo
Omg this is such a funny coincidence. I just recently started using my monogram bags again too… I’ve been very much into Hermes but I’m so in love with the playful Monogram Canvas again. 😅❤
It is so fun! I love my Hermes too but sometimes mono is what we need lol.
New subbie here! I love LV Monogram and your collection is classic and timeless! I recently did a short about why I love the “basic” Monogram Neverfull GM! Quiet luxury has no place in my collection; I want my luxury to be screaming!😂 Great video! TFS!🥰
I love that! Thank you so much!
Thank you for a great video. I have never been one to do quite anything so “quiet luxury” never hit my vocabulary. 😂 Love the LV Monogram and Damier Ebene! Have several,of each in my collection. One of my favorites is the Odeon MM in the Damier Ebene. Have been thinking about the Monogram in the MM with Vachetta trim. Maybe better get with my SA if there’s rumors of being discontinued.
Thank you! Such a great bag, maybe ask you SA if it is true that it will be discontinued.
I love my Trevi, but this made me pull out my monogram Galliera!
Yay! Pull that beauty out!
Love seeing your collection! 💕
Thanks so much 😊
i generally don't prefer logos or repeating logos. However I wear bright colours, strong patterns and even have some bling bling in my clothes, so having a monogram bag is just too much of a clash. My bags have certain details like scalloping or gold hardware.
They sound like beautiful bags!
Like your pink dial watch
I love LV monogram and I also don’t care if people say it’s loud. If I’m buying a very plain bag, I’d rather buy a cheap no name brand for a fraction of a cost. I’m going to buy the graceful MM, you sold me on that one! Great video!
Yay! I hope you love it! I've been meaning to get a review up, hopefully soon!
First time hearing about the Row, agree don’t believe that is a luxury brand. I just saw the newly released trio toilet pouches from LV, I think I will purchase it. I always wanted the Neverfull too. Great topic.
Hope you enjoy them! :)
Finally someone said it.
I love and prefer canvas version over leather ones.
They are more affordable and age really well unlike leather which just looks so worn out after few uses.
And also you just dont have to baby the canvas bags.
That's funny you say that because when I was out the other day I saw 3 very old monogram bags other women were carrying and I thought how beautiful they looked!
I love to see all the monogram pieces. I’m 100% not a quiet luxury girl lol. I love for my bags to scream luxury, but to each their own. I just can’t pay all this money for a bag that I can’t even see the brand. No hiding it for me call me what you want but I want to see the brand of my bag. Monogram is my favorite print from LV!!!❤❤ PS you don’t need the new toiletries even though they have those gorgeous interior colors. Believe me I’ve tried to make every excuse why I needed them even contemplated selling my trifecta just for those🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️.
I just love it! I agree I just don't need those cute pouches. We can stay strong! Maybe lol....
I love monogram but only on certain pieces. It’s timeless/classic for sure and I think it looks better the more beat up it gets! I love a more neutral vibe so the quiet luxury thing kind of appeals to me but I do wear colourful things when I feel like it. I have seen that bag from The Row in person and I love it. I don’t like when people recognise I’m wearing something expensive because I feel less safe etc. I love that we all like different things x
I love we can all like different things too and have conversations about them. I think I remember you doing a video a long time ago either on DE or monogram and you felt it didn't match much? I might be wrong but I found it a good video!
@@LuxPurselove I do find the contrast of the monogram with a lot of vachetta quite busy say if I’m wearing g print in summer but I do like it against neutrals. DE has always been my favourite print not sure why but I don’t wear it in summer much. At the moment I’m really into tan leather bags they just seem to go with everything x
@@beeshopspink I don't reach for DE much in the summer either. I think it is because the print seems more fall/wintery to me because it is so dark.
I love LV monogram, definitely classic. I don’t necessarily like other brands monogram though. I have a mix of “quiet” and branded bags.
I can understand that. I too have a mix and love it!
Melinda-I value your opinion and am debating ordering the dress your purse Vachetta strap for my Cluny bag((the fabric strap is just not my style). I am currently using the monogram strap from my Pochette Metis but would like to get the Vachetta strap before my handle begins to patina-(my husband loves LV and purchased at Christmas-and I love the bag!) I know it is a huge price savings but wonder about the longevity of the hardware over time. Any thoughts?
My strap is from Organize my bag not dress up your purse. I have had the strap well over a year and the hardware is showing no wear and it matches the LV hardware perfectly and it is tanning the same as the LV leather. I am super happy with the quality.
I watched someone unbox the trio pouches and I convinced myself that I don’t need any more pouches but now I watch your video and I want them again. I am such a pouch girl. I love the interior colors which I never thought I would like either since I like the classic beige. Ugh, I think we should purchase LOL!! That TH-camr broke down the prices and said this trio is cheaper that buying the discontinued set separately.
It is hard to resist! Mine are so old the new prices are still much higher but better than they were. I am trying to be good lol.
@@LuxPurselove I’m trying to be good too but I have this feeling that they’re going to sell out and then they’ll be a price increase shortly after. I would totally convert the larger bag to a shoulder bag and use the other two as a cosmetic case and a catch all. Mind you, I already own the middle size (I think it’s the 19) but I can’t stop thinking about it. 🤦🏻♀️
I completely agree with your thoughts about quiet luxury, the Row as a brand (I would never pay those prices either for their brand plus to me their bags remind me of large bowling bags or a luggage bag). I thought I felt this way because of my age, but my daughter is in her 20s and she feels the same way. In fact she likes them even less than I do. LV monogram was my firtst love within the luxury handbags and although I have bought handbags from other Luxury designer brands, LV mono will always be my favorite. I own LV mono bags that are now considered vintage and they still look amazing and I still wear them.
That is a great description of what they look like! That's amazing your bags still look great!
I love logos quiet luxury is boring. Btw I got the toiletries set the interior colors are gorgeous but I see that with what you have I wouldn’t get them again 😂 love your collection and I’m glad you feeling better ❤
It is so boring! I am trying hard to resist. Thank you so much! Xoxo
I so agree with you on everything in this video Melinda. The Row doesn't interest me one iota.😊
Me either! :)
Grest video 🧡
I have the PM Graceful in DE and Adore it !!!!
Great bag! And thank you!
Lately I’m feeling foolish with my monogram. It’s like I’m saying I have something you don’t have. I’m ok with with the demier ebin.
That is very interesting, I don't think about what other people do or do not have when I wear what I like. I figure most people don't care what I am wearing. I love DE too.
Love ❤️ the title of this video 📼📼📼 of yours Dear Melinda and totally 💯 👍🏻 share it! I do own LV Monograms and LV DE and still LOVE 🧡 🥰 ❤️ them & wear them. BTW that LV Toiletry trio pouches 👝 is blinking at me 😉😉😉🙂↔️🙂↔️🙂↔️. Thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing Dear 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹
Thank you lovely! They are blinking at me too! Make it stop lol. Xoxo
@@LuxPurselove it Will be very difficult to stop ✋ 🛑 as those ones are really so cute 🥰 with their colourful 🌈🌈🌈 linings😉😉😉.
Wear what you want!!!! I am a monogram person lol ……but variety is a spice of life!!!
Yes it is! :)
