op - i am willing to bet you are not as basic as you think you are. judging by your take here. |
I like the damier ebena (chckerboard) pattern. is that still horrible? |
| Very useful bag. Say what you will about LV, but mine have held up so much better than my other expensive bags (Chloe, Gucci, Mulberry, YSL). You can throw them around and not baby them and they are pretty indestructible. |
This The thing is a tank I don’t care what others think. |

Cheesy, suburban, and classic.
I own one but dont use it much past my 30’s. Maybe to schlep a bunch of stuff to the dry cleaners or carry returns to the mall |
THIS. 100% this. |
| Good convo! I agree - I think it can be all of those. It's a personal choice, and if you want one go for it and eff what anyone else thinks. I don't like logos, so I wouldn't get one even if I could afford it. But who cares what I think? |

I think the LV monogram can look classic, chic even, on a well dressed woman who wears it in a very utilitarian way. That’s hard with the NF due to its size and how closely it’s worn to the body. It’s too schlepy, I think. And I say this as a woman who owns the Neverfull
Here’s a some good example of Angelina Jolie nicely rocking the sac plat. Hopefully the image embedding works. https://i.pinimg.com/474x/f7/d0/bb/f7d0bb875b375884245ce5ab4a911ce9.jpg |

Another example of Princess Di with the monogram toiletry pouch. I think she looks very stylish, but again, I’m not sure the NF gives the same polished look.

| Classic. Good work tote. Indestructible and never shows wear. |
| Ostentatious and dull |
| Too common and easily replicated. It’s a starter bag for those who want people to know they wear designer. To be fair though, I think that about all LV really. |
| I had one years ago, not sure what it was called then. I used it for a diaper bag, then a toddler bag. Now it just screams "moooooom!". I downsized as soon as I was able. |
| I would be embarrassed to use it in a professional setting. I don't need my clients to see what I am wearing and know exactly what paid. It's so garish. |
| I have it in cream and use it as my laptop bag. It is an absolute workhorse. I travel weekly and put it under the seat in front of me on the plane. I would never do that with any other handbag. I still haven’t found a better looking bag that is as strong and fits a laptop |
