Please Come To Boston: Resolve Your Travel Issues with Excess Baggage (Men & Women)

So this is probably a silly question. Because the Damier Azur line only has certain pieces... if you need a garment bag and a carryall on the same trip, do you just mix and match styles? It hadn't occurred to me that even with gen bags, LV might not make every "piece" in each style. But I guess as long as you have ALL LV luggage, everyone's happy?

There's nothing wrong with mixing styles, to some people. That's a personal choice. i know for fact with clothes, wearing something logo emblazoned on it with another designer item made by a different company with another logo on it is considered tacky. But people still do it.

I see Ed Hardy clothes mixed with BAPE mixed with Dolce & Gabbana like it ain't nothing. I hate it but the person wearing it likes it.

Being the trailblazer that you undoubtedly are, you said yourself that you "like what you like." So if you like it, rock it. It doesn't matter what we say or think is gauche, does it?

I'd advise staying in the same color family or at least sticking to solid colors, if you're using some but not all Damier Azur pieces -- I would NOT mix in other LV lines like monogram and Damier as all the patterns would clash in a cacophony of over-the-top ghetto-fabness. LV Taiga, Nomade and Tobago would work fine as they are solid, if you are hell-bent on keeping it all LV.

There's nothing wrong with using a mix of LV and non-LV -- I would argue that it actually adds a dash of jaunty nonchalance to be less than 100% matchy-matchy, and you won't look like a Russian mobster on a package tour .
