Here's my story!
Had pretty good service at LV - Ala Moana (Hawaii). Pretended to be on the phone until I found a SA who spoke English. Found out I am the first person to buy one from that boutique.
Initial reaction:
1. NOT a shoulder bag - base is a hefty 6 inches in width, compared to Luco's 4 inches. The bag has about a 7.5 inch drop. I'm quite thin with very thin arms, and this is not working as a shoulder bag. Bummer. SIDE NOTE: Wondering if I could put straps from the Bucket onto her... they're quite a bit longer... will have to see. Also, about the straps... they are very rigid and do a "curvy" thing to facilitate being a handheld and not a shoulder bag, KWIM?
2. Where are the LE goodies that make this $1900? Bottom is mono. There are NO FEET on the bottom - what the :censor: ? A LE, $1900 bag without feet on the bottom? This bugs me. Also, the interior is the brown lining. Nothing special. Along with the handles not having rivets on them like in the Lookbook, those are my major gripes.
Overall, she's a cutie. Interesting shape. I am NOT a handbag girl (I like shoulder bags), but I think I may have to keep this one. She's really stunning in person. I love the two zips connected by a leather strip, the plaque, and the fact that there is a zipped middle compartment and two side magnetic-close compartments. This may be my nod to LV handhelds (I'm not into the Speedy or the Alma, etc... maybe this will be my handheld).
She is definitely way overpriced (no feet!? no special lining?!) and should be around $1500.
What do you guys think? I think she's hot... but why didn't they make the straps longer and the base 4 inches so she could be a shoulder bag.
That would have been so perfect. Should I keep her? Does she look OK on me?
EDIT: It was $1820 (Hawaii prices, yay) and I got the receipt holder that's advertising the Pomme stuff... with the wallets, key holder, etc on the front.
