Hi everyone... I was in Paris mid-June and my Mono cles was stolen. This was my very first LV item, which was given to me as a gift by my mother during our first trip to Paris. I was absolutely heartbroken, and still get upset when I think about it. There was quite a bit of cash in there, but even more than that, the experience was very upsetting. I've never had anything stolen before and you feel so violated. Especially being in a foreign country, I felt really helpless. Even though this item didn't cost a lot, it is the sentimental value that is irreplaceable.
After the incident, my boyfriend took my straight to LV to replace it - he even said he would 'upgrade' me to something else if I wanted (what an offer)! However, I was still so upset that I didn't buy anything. Buying an LV should always be a FUN experience, and it didn't feel fun at the time. Now that I am back home, I am ready to buy something. I was using the cles as a wallet (I am not a big wallet kind of girl). I still don't know if I want to get the same item because I don't want to replace it. Now, I need your help! I was first drawn to the zippy coin purse, but I don't LOVE it (no offense to anyone, as I think it's a great piece, just not for me). I was thinking of the multicles rabat - but haven't seen it IRL yet. Also, the porte-monnaie accordeon (smaller one) looks good, but I think I read on here that it is discontinued? Any other suggestions? I do want Mono and my budget is around $300. Thanks for your help and for listening to my sad story and sorry for the LONG post!! I tPF!

For some reason, I think you should replace your mono cles, you loved it so much.

I think you replace your cles, then you can start fresh. But I'm thinking of how I would react, you may need to handle your situation differently.
Do let us know what you decide. It's terrible to have something stolen! |

It's such an awful feeling to have something stolen, especially when it had sentimental value
![]() I agree with the others that you should replace it though, it seems like it was perfect for you and hopefully you could attach a different kind of value to this one -from your boyfriend but in place of what your mom got you. If you were really happy with it, I wouldn't try something else |

I'm sorry to hear something of such sentimental value was stolen. I can't imagine what an awful feeling that is
.I was browsing through the wallets and found a couple. Well, what about a mini-pochette? It's similar to a cles but bigger and not technically a wallet either. Or perhaps the Ludlow? I like the Multicles Rabat too. Let us know what you decide! |

I don't have a lot of experience with stolen things but i lose my things all the time and it's devastating! I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I would replace the original one like many here have already suggested. Hopefully you can associate new memories with it.

I have the multicles rabat and can recommend that. I find it as practical as my cles, but even better because it holds my longer keys and has a pocket for cards or cash too. I think that would make a great and updated replacement for your cles.

Poor girl, I agree with photoobsessive go for the rabbat multicles. Hopefully it will help to ease the heartbreak.
