which bag(s) do I get rid of?

vhsethan · Jul 3rd, 2008, 11:11 AM

Hey ya'll! My mother recently agreed to purchase me a Louis Vuitton Neverfull in hopes that I would get rid of my LAMB bags. I agreed to do so but I obviously realize I cannot live without at least 1 LAMB bag.
Right now I have the Rasta Westfield, the Saddle Devon, and the Silver/Black Grantham.

I NEVER use the Silver/Black Grantham so I know I'll eventually get rid of it. I haven't carried it more than 3 times & I don't really like it...
I use my Saddle Devon everyday, but it is similar to the Louis in the fact that it is rather boring...
I have only used my Rasta Westfield 20 times or less because I simply think that the size is too small. However, I LOVE the rasta print.

Ideally I would get rid of all 3 bags and find a Rasta Devon, however, that'll never happen =(
What do I do?!

Not trying to be nosey, but does your mother have something against LAMB? I mean if she is offering to buy you the Neverfull why do you have to get rid of the LAMBs? No offense, and if it's none of my business no problem.

With that being said it's a shame that Rasta is your favorite but you don't really use it that much. Since the Neverfull is comparable to the Devon in terms of what it can hold I would keep the Rasta Westfield.

She is a Louis, Chanel, big name girl...and she, for some odd reason, thinks that my LAMBS are cheap / going to fall apart. However, we all know that that is not true. She also wants me to have a timeless bag...

I would sell all three and find a Devon in another print that you like but isn't similar to the LV. I want to say keep the Rasta but if the bag is too small, just sell it.

first thing first.. get rid of the grantham.. and then think lil bit more about the other 2.. and then decide.. if you think the devon is a perfect size for you, keep it.. it's a bit different from neverfull as it has that 3 compartments.. more organize IMHO..

Sell the neverfull and buy more lambs to spite mommy.

Sell LAMB's for LV?!! I wouldn't do it. I'll bet you see about 400 people carrying LV when you carry yours and not 1 carrying a LAMB.

^ That's right miss n!!

^^ Word. That's exactly why I don't own LV. Silly, but I don't want what everyone else has. I'd rather have a unique bag that stands out from the crowd.

And honestly - you're just trading one coated canvas bag for another - I don't see the difference.

Now if you're getting rid of all the LAMBs for a few Chanel bags---that's a different story! Even then, I'd have to flinch.

ONE THING that I do think is practical is that Louis Vuittons stay together forever, however, LAMBS get wrinkling stripes, ect. I love the bags to death, but I wish they made them a bit more durable!

If you MUST get a Louis Vuitton, i would get one of the bags in the damier print, which is at least something you don't see everywhere everyday.

GhstDreamer · Jul 4th, 2008, 12:33 PM

Originally I was going to get a damier print LV myself but changed my mind because I noticed the great resemblance to all my vintage 90's Fendi checkerboard bags (even high end designers inspire each other...lol...). I thought it would be too much of similar print going on in my handbag collection.

I think the LV Epi Leather Collection is so much more gorgeous and timeless. The Red Epi Leather Speedy 30 is just darn pretty - the Passy GM is huge which I think fits the size that you want. Also any style of the Monogram Vernis is nice too (but especially the Summit Drive) - the Bellevue GM is a huge bag too. Personally, I'm debating between the Gucci Medium Joy Tote - got to love the metallic leather handles and the Epi Speedy but in Black instead of the red (since I'm planning to get the LAMB Berry fadeout).

Suggestion:

Keep the Saddle Devon and sell the Silver Grantham - and maybe convince your mom to let you keep the Rasta Westfield.
