The all-weather leather bags are actually something I could see myself carry...one of them reminds me of the Hermes Birkin. I was kinda disappointed with the Nubuck collection...I got to see it in real life, and it wasn't my style...all I kept thinking was "if I saved a little more, I could just get an LV." Also, the alto selection is really pretty good, and I've only heard good things about that collection.
Their Croco style is going cheap at the outlet ($60 of what was originally $450

) as well as the denim collection. They have a ton of sales for the signature collection, but I know I would steer clear of those bags (because, much like the Coach jacquard handbags, stains may be difficult to remove).
I don't think having a coated-canvas collection for adults will hurt their business, esp. since a lot of people make fun of what they have now. And it's not like LV is the only company that does coated-canvas...Burberry, Dior, Fendi, and Gucci have done the same thing.
But alas, I know this is only wishful thinking. For now,
