with that said, i just hate it when people act as if price justifies quality all the time. this is not having to do with anyones post in here more so with people i know. im no penny pincher when i have the funds so i know whats its like to want and buy nice things, but this designer stuff is something I just cant get into. its just like with sneakers though, if yezzys(which i happen to like very much) were 59.99 and called air yeltzerbobs they would rot on the shelves.
Im willing to be that if LV maintained there same quality and design BUT was priced at only 75 or less it wouldnt be as popular to most people.
im also willing to bet that if i purchased a white/azure checkerboard belt from old navy or where ever no one would inquire or care about it. it would probably be considered tacky.
So are the pro LV people just going to act like this wasn't posted? At $20 or $200 or whatever the price is, checkered blets are flat out tacky and if they werent LV people would see them as such. It works for womens bags and mens wallets but imo it just looks sooooo tacky and obnoxious in bet form.
I'm pro LV and various luxury brands. I always thought the whole "damier" or checkered craze was stupid. I also thought the LV & Gucci print was stupid. If i'm correct, the "G" print was brought back by Tom Ford when he was head of Gucci trying to re-vamp the brand. Various people like LV brought their monogram prints back after seeing the resurgence of this look. I still to this day think it looks ridiculously stupid.
I was thinking about copping an LV wallet for a while...cause as many folk in here have mentioned, the quality is superb, but I don't want to get caught walking around with that gaudy "LOOK AT ME" wallet...I was looking into this...

Didn't need to cop, since my girl got me another wallet that I prefer as a gift.
