Honestly, LV. It’s a whole vibe, right? You either *get* it or you don’t. Some people think it’s overpriced and just… flash-y. I mean, yeah, the monogram is kinda everywhere, and it’s not exactly subtle. But there’s something about the craftsmanship, the quality of the leather (assuming you’re getting the real deal, obvi), and the *history* behind it all. You’re not just buying a bag; you’re buying, like, a piece of legacy.
And lemme tell you, those bags are *expensive*. Like, seriously. You could probably buy a used car for the price of a Speedy, and don’t even *think* about the Capucines. Ouch. But, like, they hold their value pretty well, so maybe it’s an investment? I’m not a financial advisor, so don’t quote me on that. But hey, if you’re gonna splurge, might as well splurge on something that’ll at least last a while, right?
I gotta admit, though, sometimes I feel like they’re just riding on the name. Like, some of the newer designs are… questionable. Remember that weird Virgil Abloh-era stuff? Some of it was cool, I guess, but some of it was just… weird. And let’s be real, not every single bag deserves the iconic label. You know?
The real question is, are they worth it? Honestly, that’s a personal call. If you’ve got the cash to drop and you genuinely love the design and the quality, then go for it! But don’t feel pressured to buy one just because everyone else has one. Find a bag that you love, that fits your style, and that you can actually *use*. A $3,000 bag sitting in your closet is just… sad.
