I bought it from LV boutique and couldn't wait to take it home, so I can try & gaze on it for hours. The moment I took it out of the enormous brown box, I was like ...aaahhhhh... and to my disappointment, there were some scratch on one of the bottom corners :( Although a hassle, I knew that I can always take it back and exchange it.
Besides modelling it a few times in front of the mirror, I tried to put some of my personal stuff into the bag. The bag turned out heavy and after going in and out of the bag a few times, I have to agree with a comment by some regarding the small top opening. It is quite restrictive and I do not like the feeling of having my hand touching the zipper every time. Nevertheless, it is still beautiful.
With a heavy heart, I took it back. I still love it, I mean, I've been dreaming about it for years, how can I just give it up? sigh....
It also happened that I started to have my eyes on LV Brea mm in epi the day before. So there I was in the store, wandering around, thinking, comparing between those 2 bags. I decided to follow my mind than my heart and went for Brea instead. I like it that it has a long strap as I tend to carry my bags on shoulder and I love it long, like my chanel. It is leather and it is dyed through out all layers, so a nick or scratch won't be that noticeable. It will definitely last longer than monogram or vernis. The design is also elegant, it can work with casual or formal attire. It would also be easier to carry around with a baby in tow.
So there! And if there should be anymore LV bag in the future, I will keep damier and vernis in mind ;)
