Are U Fans Of Monogramming Your LV Bags

I find that people either love or hate monogrammed bags. I happen to be a lover of the look, but as a frequent shopper of luxury consignment shops, I’m not always a huge fan of Mon Monogram. Has anyone else seen a pre-owned bag for a great price, only to see someone else’s initials painted right on the front for the world to see? When this happens, whether it be a full on monogram or a tiny heat stamp, I try to figure out how those initials could fit into my life.

More often than not, I fall short and can’t even tie the initials to a distant relative, and it always makes me sad to remove the item from my cart. If you are someone who tires of your bags easily and sells them, I would recommend passing on the personalization of your bag. Monogrammed touches make it so much harder to sell on the secondhand market. I’m totally guilty of selling my bags regularly to fund new purchases, which is why I don’t make it a habit to monogram my bags.

None of my Louis Vuitton Bags are heat stamped or monogrammed except for my precious gem, my Mon Monogrammed Speedy 30. When I fell in love with the look of Mon Monogrammed bags, I grappled back and forth with whether I could justify the price, but I decided to just go for it. With a style as classic as the Speedy, I find comfort in knowing that it will never go out of style. I’m so glad I took the plunge because it is still one of the most treasured bags in my collection a few years later.

How About Social Media Buy Your LV Bags?

I actually find social media influencer content quite helpful in one particular way: modeling shots and reviews. It's quite hard to find good photos of even popular designer bags on store websites, so the various reviews and shoots done by influencers fill a much needed gap in my online research.

Negative Underwear has some cute basics that I've been keeping an eye on, though I haven't actually bought anything yet because it's pricey and I haven't been able to find any reviews that aren't from major outlets and clearly sponsored/gifted. Temporary Housewifey is one blogger who writes good reviews for some high-end bags and affordable to midpriced clothes from Everlane and Cuyana.

I think this depends on the age of the person. Would you say that Purseblog's audience tends to be older? The answers would then probably lean toward less being influenced as they're less likely to be on social media, particularly instagram where it's become very saturated with social add and influencer sponsorships.

I work in digital media and while not on the marketing side specifically, I know anything you browse, anything you search then turns into data. Data that's used to tailor things very specific to your demographics. It's designed for you, to appeal to you and thus to influence you into buying it. Data is big business now.

Wait, I'm on a purse blog. Louis Vuitton Bags, honestly that's a big personal fashion staple of mine. One that's evolved over the years. I side eye any easy to spot influencer ploy  because I find it off putting.

I do follow people who share a similar style that myself and will look to those accounts to check out what new brands or old brands they currently love though. More organic, less trying to shill their new label, new partnership.

Dior American Flag Book Tote Bag In New York

Some bags quickly rise to cult status, and that’s certainly been the case for the Dior Book Tote. Curious what your favorite bag lover is carrying atop her carry-on suitcase? Its probably a Dior Book Tote.


When I think of the quintessential American summer, I immediately think of New York. Nothing feels more like summer to me than warm nights in the city, enjoying food with friends, heading to the beach in the Hamptons, or watching the 4th of July fireworks from a rooftop overlooking the skyline.

To kick off the season, we’re here to introduce the newest version of Dior’s coveted Book Tote the Dior American Flag Book Tote Bag. Embroidered with the iconic colors of the US flag, this tote is exclusively available

Maria Grazia Chiuri reinterpreted the house’s iconic Book Tote in red, white, and blue as an ode to Christian Dior’s first journey to the United States in 1947. Dior made the trip to accept the Neiman Marcus Award in Dallas, only a few months after launching his first collection in Paris.

This iteration features over a million red, white, and blue embroidery stitches, alongside Christian Dior’s lucky stars.

Gucci Purses Ahead Official Start To Summer 2019

For those of you that follow fashion rules this official start to summer also means you've got the go ahead to wear white. While I have to admit that I've been breaking this rule for quite a long time, I definitely am more inclined to both don a head to toe white outfit and purchase new white goodies when the temps warm up.

Though I've got a bit of a love/hate relationship with my white bag, currently we're on good terms. I just brought my white gucci bags out for the season and my love for the little lady has resurfaced. It got me thinking that maybe reserving white bags for a certain time of year is a good thing after I didn't use it for awhile I was happy to take my bag back out to play. If you have yet to add a white bag to your collection than you're in luck.

This season there are so many beautiful white bags to pick from and we've got ten of the best that you can buy  right now. I've always loved white bags and would never consider purchasing for the same reasons that many here have listed; however, Odette has me rethinking.

And plus, it's made in gucci bags I'd like to think a little more easier to clean than other softer uncoated leathers. It's also very versatile and can be used dressed up or down comes with shoulder strap. I sound like a Prada sales associate, lol! Its definitely on my wishlist!
