I just am not loving the papillion shape in the flesh...I think you need to be quite petite to carry it off. I'm 5'8 and frankly, it looked rather silly! Sigh...Shouldn't buy it just because it's LE.

The reason I choose the speedy is beacuse both bags are the same price so why not go for the larger bag of the two. For me bigger the better

Get what you love and will use the most. I bought the wc pap - I have never been drawn to the style but love the WC, so I bought it. It is a great little bag - if you fill it well it does not sag. I loop the handles and it works great as a shoulder bag. It looks good hand held, but in the summer I like to carry shoulder bags.

I decided to leave it in the end! I thought I was in love with this bag, but in the flesh it just didn't cut the mustard! I don't think I could cope with the papillion style - can't carry comfortably on the shoulder - I'm a hands-free girl! Had there been a more delicate style in the print I may have gone for it...no regrets. Am now eyeing up the Saleya GM in Azur with vernis cles in pearl...

Hi Bunny :) Welcome to tpf! Im in Auckland too~

Im glad you chose to leave it in the end. I reckon the pap doesnt look good as a shoulder bag and the speedy is out since you dont like to hand carry. Definitely do not get a bag just coz it is LE. :) Get a bag you can use!!

Thanks for the reassurance. Yes, figured there's no point if I don't LOVE it...tis a lot of money after all (to me at least!) Haven't really been keeping in touch with LV releases in the past year and am gutted that I missed the mirage pieces! Now THAT I love! Oh well. Thanks to TPF I'll now be up to date on new releases!
