I have the Le Confident in black and I love it! I am also 5' 4" and I don't think it's too bulky at all and no, the front pocket doesn't make mine tip in any way. This is my absolute, favorite LV bag. As I've said before, anything from the Suhali line is to die for in style, class and quality! I say KEEP IT!! It looks fabulous on you!
Should I keep my new Suhali white Le Confidant? lotsa questions - modeling pics
- Thread starter maomee

I have the Le Confident in black and I love it! I am also 5' 4" and I don't think it's too bulky at all and no, the front pocket doesn't make mine tip in any way. This is my absolute, favorite LV bag. As I've said before, anything from the Suhali line is to die for in style, class and quality! I say KEEP IT!! It looks fabulous on you!It looks beautiful on you! Btw, I thought a credit was a credit and there was no time frame attatched to 'use it or lose it'. Maybe they mean if you haven't used it in a year, they send you a check for the balance of it.
okay, so I've got a bunch of pics to show, be warned. no surprise guess "what's in the box" strip show stuff, jumping directly to the modeling pics.
forgive the blue sticky sheets, I got it last week (@ Vegas for xmas!) and only got a chance to take pics after my vacation was over. Still trying to decide whether I want to keep it or not...Please take a look at the pics and let me know if you think the bottom width of the bag is too much on my frame (I'm bordering petit at 5'4").
I was going in to purchase the Suhali l'epanoui pm (no more GM) but there was just the sienne color and I really wanted a white or black one. I've asked the SA at the Vegas and SF stores and there are only a handful of single l'epanoui pm at various stores which the SA said were probably displays that are not going to be in
perfect condition. bummer!
I have quite a bit of store credit that I have to use up by late summer before it vanishes into LV ether (btw, how can they take your money and keep it if you don't use it within 1 yr! That is just so unfair, what if I didn't like anything in this season/year but end up liking something else later, my money is gone!). DH has been pushing me to use it up and he's asked me to go into LV at every chance possible. So the SA showed me Le
Confidant and DH was like, get it get it. LOL.
I've been wanting an azur soufflot forever but of course, LV doesn't make it (yet)! I tried on the black epi soufflot but the leather handles just felt very hard. btw, I'm a shoulder bag kinda gal.
So, what do you think? To me this style of bag should be a bit smaller so that it looks lady-like and dainty, but on me, it kinda looks bulky, doesn't it? And I'm wearing winter coats/scarfs in these pics! Does this purse look good w/ black outfits as well as white? I wore both color coats so I can get a good visual. Some of the pics, the purse looks nice on me (not too big) but others pics it looks bulky and big...I don't know.
I'm torn between returning it and seeing what may be coming out in the late summer for the suhali/epi/azur lines that I may like more or just keeping this one (and using up the credit I have in the store already). I saw some of the photos from the upcoming season; as colorful/playful as those bags are, I'm gonna pass on those. Any helpful suggestions?
Oh btw, for those who have suhali (esp. in white), how likely does color clothing/furnishings rub off onto the white leather? Should I worry about that or is it pretty much as carefree as epi ivorie? For those who have Le Confidant, does your bag tend to tip forward b/c of the front pocket and handles that seem to be placed a bit
further back? When I first picked up Le Conf by the handle, it looked/felt like it was tipping forward and that's with nothing in it!
TIA!
It doesn't sound like you're super excited about the bag...if you don't like it, I think you should return it and wait until the summer time. Even then if there's nothing from the summer that you like, you can always buy a bag from the permanent collection.
I don't have the Le Confident but I do have a plum Suhali Le Talentueux and I absolutely love the Suhali leather. It's a pretty dark purple so I certainly haven't had problems with colour rubbing on/off of the leather. I've seen white Suhali yellow slightly and blue jeans will transfer to the leather.
You're the first person I've seen with this bag. I think it looks absolutely gorgeous on you!! Thanks for the pics. It seems like the perfect size..not too big nor too small. Congrats on a beauty!!
I think the bag suits you very well but it's up to you. If you don't love it, exchange it for something you like more.
I think the size and shape of the bag look very nice on your frame BUT it just seems like you are asking these questions because you actually do not want this bag. You are just trying to use up that store credit (btw, that really DOES seem terrible that they can jus swallow your money like that by the end of the season). Is it possible for you to keep this bag until you find something you do like? How long do you have to make returns at LV boutiques?
Thanks for all your comments so far. When I first saw this bag, I thought it was the pm version of Le Superbe. I was not jumping over it when I saw it at the store but SA & DH said it looked cute on me when I tried it. So, I have been putting off taking photos/modeling it until now. I was surprised that some of the modeling pics look nice as I really was expecting it to look odd on me & not like it and be able to immediately return it. That's where you all come in to help me figure it out. 
As to the credit, I've asked about 6 different SAs at different LV stores/boutiques and they all tell me the same thing, you have 1 year before its permanently gone.
I'm not sure who I could transfer the credit to for cash back, if that's even possible.
I have until next monday to return for refund (back to my cc and credits left in LV account). What to do?

I personally think that it looks perfect on you, but if you don't like it, return it for something else!
