I am an unabashed LV fan. I believe in the quality and longevity of their products and am not afraid to splurge on them when and if I get an opportunity. Lately, though, I find myself becoming disappointed with their new designs, particularly the Summer collection. I don’t really know what’s happening with Marc Jacobs (their current house designer) because he comes up with great designs for his own Marc Jacobs label but, comes out with really tacky ones for LV. Maybe he needs to go on purse design rehab, too? (Sorry Marc.) Mouse over the items for my (personal) take.

[LV Dentelle Collection] The LV Monogram is 'updated' with French-lingerie-inspired lace stamping. I think they should rename this collection as LV Dental, it gives me a toothache. [LV That's Love Collection] I think they though it was a stroke of genius to turn LV to LOVE. I am NOT in love. [LV Dots Fleur Collection] I've never liked Dippin' Dots (the ice cream), so I'm not very crazy about it being turned into a purse. Also, this looks like something my daughter would LOVE to pick at.

[LV Braided Leather] Like something my mom would use for her pang-palengke.[LV Dots Navy Collection] Another Dippin' Dots inspired collection but definitely more toned and structured than the Fleur. Maybe it'll grow on me, we'll see.[LV Denim Patchwork Collection] I nearly fell for Marc Jacob's Speedy Denim a while back, but I was eventually happy that I restrained myself, especially after the pink and green versions came out. Now this one, I actually like the patchwork Speedy , but the rest... I'd be hard-pressed to like them, especially since they look so moshed-poshed.
