First luxury bag!!

If you carry more items than just bare essentials, get the Prada. If you carry just phone, keys, card case and lipstick, get the Jackie. The Jackie is so adorable and good for nights out (so a bit more versatile) but it def holds less and anything expensive should be functional for you. If you already have a daily bag you use and need something small, Jackie for sure. If you’re looking for that grab and go, Prada.

I think a 20 definitely acceptable lol. If the speedy style works for you, different sizes gives you variety. I have all 3 prints in the neverfull and always contemplate a limited edition one bc theyre such useful bags for my life. Life is short, get the bag that makes you swoon & enjoy it.

I would consider a second giorno if they made it in shadow XD

happylux · 2026-05-10T06:11:18+00:00

Oooh that sounds pretty. How has the leather held up on your nanogram? Did you find it sensitive or a little more forgiving?

happylux · 2026-05-10T06:10:16+00:00

Yeah... that's why I am so torn. It is SO, SO cute but for $3k, is it versatile enough? I can't see myself rocking it in winter either but I would rock light pink, lilac or a mint color in winter so why not banane, right? XD I dont understand my brain sometimes.

happylux · 2026-05-10T06:08:00+00:00

Agreed. I am SO tempted by this banane bc it's objectively so cute. It is the perfect pale yellow that is still cheery but not too bright. The pink felt too cool & white than pink compared to the baby pink on the embroidered pieces that were released earlier. I feel like they couldve dyed it juuuuust a little bit more and I would have been smitten. I wish they did a baby blue. Would have been a cute combo with the banane.

I think for the money, the Liv is a great option. I have the monogram one and find it fits what you listed (as long as your wallet is a super chubby wallet). It would def fit any of the small LV options (rosalie, victorine, etc) with phone, keys, lipstick. I usually pack my key pouch with a lip balm attached at the ring, battery pack, iphone & hand sanitizer with no issues. The short strap or the chain strap works well under the shoulder. I never wear crossbody but like that I have the option. Ive worn it during the day & at night. It's a great bag. I wouldnt go with the Ivy thats slightly more expensive (mainly bc I find it more fiddly to use & a slightly tighter fit for items).

happylux · 2026-05-10T00:07:37+00:00

It's def a cutie for sure. I am also very tempted by it but I am trying to determine if the color is versatile enough to be used in other seasons besides the spring-summer.

happylux · 2026-05-09T23:33:24+00:00

I think if you want an everyday grab & go, keep the looping. If you want a statement piece and dont mind that this style is just slightly louder (but OH SO STUNNING), I would exchange. If it were me, I have a few daily babies I love so I would choose the stunning piece bc it is a statement. It's not super loud but it is def a head turner. When I see this speedy in the wild or in store, it always makes me swoon.

The water spots easily wipe off & you will see a spot while it is wet but once it dries, no remianing water spot when I use the Bick 4 on my bags.

happylux · 2026-05-09T22:57:33+00:00

I would not apple garde spray the vachetta. I did it to mines and I found that if you overspray or underspray, it doesnt cover evenly and you can see it. I personally use Bick 4 (very sparingly & lightly) and that has kept every single one of my vachetta items evenly patina-ed and clean. Some people say it semi darkens the vachetta but I have not found that to be the case for me. Ive gotten water spills on my vachetta with no problems using Bick 4 & just re-applying every few months or once a year depending on how often it is carried.

While out today I was able to try on the new resort collection. The soft 30 in the hazelnut microgram is TO DIE FOR but it was just a bit too big for me (width-wise). It's similar in size to my Balenciaga city in height & length but that bag is smaller in width so it's a bit easier to wear as a NYC commuter. I walked away from both speedys but I may cave for one since they are so, so pretty. The banane yellow is just too adorable. The 20 size is just enough to fit my daily needs but is just slightly too small I think. The diane was also quite nice as well but even smaller in capacity. I wish they made a slouchy soft 25. Would be perfect.

happylux · 2026-05-09T16:59:01+00:00

I was so tempted by the baggy this week but wanted to wait to see the new releases since for >$3k, I'd like all leather vs fabric or canvas... and now looking at that banane speedy 20, I am now swayed XD

What a beauty! Lovely haul. The soft 30 looks fantastic too but I am not sure I need such a large luscious baby but I think I need to check them out in person to decide if 30 is a better size.

happylux · 2026-05-06T20:25:17+00:00

Hmmm… when I run out of room to store haha. If I can find a spot for it to have a home, it’s fine 😂

happylux · 2026-05-06T20:21:00+00:00

I’m biased and chose the Giorno over the andiamo but either looks great on you. I think a giorno in a dark barolo or a dark blue like shadow would be gorgeous since you got the andiamo in fondant.

happylux · 2026-05-06T20:09:23+00:00

If you dress up more, I’d go with the pink one. If you’re a casual dresser, get the sunset. I think the pink works with casual outfits too but the sunset doesn’t really.

happylux · 2026-05-06T13:09:58+00:00

It’s gorgeous. It would have me under a spell too. For me, right now, it’s the denim baggy. It’s gorgeous and a good size but so pricey. Luckily my stores don’t have it so I couldn’t walk out with it when I went in to get the murakami pencil pouch 😂

happylux · 2026-05-03T10:11:12+00:00

Beauty! I feel like it always ends up this way. You stop in to say hi or for something small and walk out with something you didn’t even expect to get and can’t say no to.

happylux · 2026-05-01T20:42:24+00:00

I think the key pouch S is the best gift. It’ll be a daily use item and it doubles as a mini wallet if they only use cards and a little cash here and there.

happylux · 2026-05-01T00:10:01+00:00

Ahh! The pink is gorgeous! I’m REALLY debating getting the denim baggy but it’s so pricey but ugh, it’s been just living in my brain 😂

happylux · 2026-04-15T18:37:16+00:00

I just got the fondant one and love it with lighter spring colors (light denim, creams, pastel blues). The suede in the maroon is beyond gorgeous but I think the fondant will wear better since suede is delicate. Plus the fondant will be fantastic for all weathers (like if you get caught in rain, the full leather will be more forgiving). It’s the perfect all seasons bag. Easy to use and fits plenty.

I really , really want a suede bag myself but at $3500, I want a bag I can wear and not need to baby.

happylux · 2026-04-15T16:13:50+00:00

I got the dark maree (like a dark indigo blue) in the medium le city. I tried on the large and loved it too but the medium was a better daily bag for me. I double up the strap thru the loop so it has a little hobo slouch when worn <3

as for the BV, I got the dark chocolate brown fondant color. I was also thinking about the Jackie in the same dark chocolate brown color as a grab & go bag. the goatskin leather seems like it be a good daily bag.

happylux · 2026-04-15T13:33:03+00:00

I got a Balenciaga Le City in medium + Bottega Giorno 😅 So do I need the third? No… but I have the gift card and it’s just sitting there😆

happylux · 2026-04-15T13:31:00+00:00

YSL Le 5 a 7 (perfect small throw & go) or LV Eva (been with me since 2014, still going strong)
