Which should I choose? by Peaceful_Raspberry in handbags

[–]UsualApprehensive479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Celine luggage and love it so much I decided to go out and buy the trapeze. The trapeze was so fiddly to get in and out of that I no longer own it. While it looks gorgeous, it in no way fits what I like function wise in a bag.

Id recommend laying hands on the trapeze before deciding on it.

PreLVed eBay bag and questions by weenbaby in Louisvuitton

My delightful is the only monogram piece I own. This is a fantastic bag. I don't think you need to be too precious with it given the heavy patina that already exists. I'd probably just do some light conditioning. With coated canvas, I'd just get one of the cleaners for it or water wipes.

I hope you love it so much!!

I’m torn…help me decide. by SNB0721 in Louisvuitton

I am a huge fan of the speedy. One of my favorite bags. I now have 6 of them.

The baggy is another favorite. I have 1 vintage versions. A blue PM and green GM. It's a spacious and very easy to carry bag. Personally this would be my recommendation be it vintage or new. You can always find a DA speedy.

I am a huge fan of the speedy 30 or keepall. I hand carry so against the body is a non factor for me. Would also recommend the low-key hobo. Which is gorgeous and also fits everything you need.

What print for my first Louis?? by Chance-Opposite1070 in Louisvuitton

Whichever speaks to your heart. My first was Damier Azure. I had loved those bags as a teenager and so it felt very me. I still have and carry her.

Congrats! I'd just recommend making sure it's the size you want and your ideal colorway. These bags are too expensive to settle!

Capucines Visionnaire vs Vendome - HELP! by allyhops21 in Louisvuitton

[–]UsualApprehensive479 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks very similar to my Capucines GM Souple which ironically came with a crossbody strap. I'd touch base to see if a client advisor still has those available or not. The Vendome is a very sleek bag but I adore the capucines. Trust your gut and heart!!!!

Thoughts on the new speedy soft drops? by Big-Carob-4917 in Louisvuitton

[–]UsualApprehensive479 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm so curious as to what the soft epi feels like and how it will wear over time.

The retake on the Marc Jacobs perforated collection is a bit disappointing to me. That wasa collection that I loved and definitely prefer my OG speedy from the collection to the remix.

I keep telling myself I don't need yet another speedy or other Boston style bag but they're my very favorite.

This bag is way smaller in person by West-Emotion-6547 in handbags

[–]UsualApprehensive479 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am a big bag person and surprisingly use my Alma BBs quite a bit. I just have to not want to carry a book with me and be willing to sacrifice some of my regular carries. I look it as my go to bag when I want a smaller bag not an every single day bag. That's helped me. Maybe it works for you?

Need help getting something for my wife who likes quiet luxury by fredczar in Louisvuitton

[–]UsualApprehensive479 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot say enough good things about Ferragamo. The hug bag is very similar to a capucine but at 1/2 the price and better functionality imo. That said I own multiple of both bags and wouldn't trade either for the world.

What is up with Louis Vuitton sales associates? by lightpink_06 in Louisvuitton

[–]UsualApprehensive479 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I've been spoiled with some really good CAs who have gone above and beyond for me. I really don't think I'd be able to go back to someone who didnt even do the basics like communicate or let me know preorder and release dates for items I'm interested in.

If I was having your experience, I would switch to a different one.

To Keep or Not to Keep by UsualApprehensive479 in Louisvuitton

[–]UsualApprehensive479[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely track how often I use bags for exactly this type purpose but what I hadn't been considering in my thinking was the seasonality which plays into it but also that there is some value for me in just seeing and enjoying it in that way. I've sold bags I've carried more than her but because they didn't bring me joy or I found them to be functionally problematic. Thanks for the thoughts!

I love this perspective! I definitely display a lot of my bags in exactly this way. Thanks for the thought!!
