Alma BB monogram vs Speedy 25 Bandouliere monogram

Hi everyone! I will be purchasing my second Louis Vuitton bag but it will be my first bag from the store. I have been doing my purchase and have fell in love with the Alma BB and Speedy 25 Bandouliere both in monogram. I like that the Alma BB is a structured bag that will look good with or without the shoulder strap but I have been hearing from some that it sits weirdly on the hip because of the wide bottom. I like the speedy 25 bandouliere because of the size and adjustable strap but since I don't put a lot of things in my bag I am afraid of it looking saggy when using the bag since it is not as structured as the Alma BB. What are your experiences regarding these two bags? I'm buying the bag to use often but not everyday and I don't fill my bags up a with a lot of stuff. As far as resale value which retains value more? Also do you guys think buying a twilly from Louis Vuitton is worth it? thank you guys so much! This is a tough decision for me since I love both bags but can afford one right now.

Made in USA Dooneys

When I love dooney had their summer sale, I snatched up this USA florentine small satchel in elephant color. Well she arrived today in the mail!! And I have it side by side with my navy pebbled leather small satchel that I got during 12 days of dooney back in 2015. This is my second dooney purchase since 2015. First purchase I bought days ago being a dooney pebbled grain wallet posted under small leather goods thread.
Anyway I'm in move with my elephant small satchel and it made me fall in love with Dooney's again!!!! The smell is scrumptious and I have nowhere to go to show my small satchel because of shelter in place you ladies get the first viewing.
Enjoy your new Dooney treasure. Glad you were able to find a made in USA satchel.

Recommend Hermes SA

Hello,

hopefully some of you can help me. I am really new to Hermes and recently just got interested in the fine jewelry, no bags for me yet. Can anyone recommend a nice SA that can maybe communicate and send pics by phone? I am not near an Hermes shop and seems appts are hard to get to even look things so will have to go by pictures. Please if you can recommend a nice SA, would be much appreciated.
Hermes most likely will not ship fine jewelry purchases to new clients via phone purchase. I highly suggest you find a way to visit a store and then contact them at least a week or two before your visit to ensure the items you are interested are in stock. H stores do not individually carry the full product line and will likely need to bring in the items from other stores so you should request only a couple of which you are seriously interested. Good luck!

ETA, you could also shop via their website which has full refund returns if that is easier for you.

Anyone have the Muria?

I have both the NeoNoe and the Muria. I agree with b_illy in that the Muria is pinched so the opening is more narrow. I also agree that the strap on the Muria is not as comfortable as the strap on the NeoNoe but mine are 2 totally different colors so I can’t mix and match. The Muria is gorgeous but for me the NeoNoe is a little more carefree and practical.

Which woc is better puffy shiny, soft calfskin or the flat caviar that feels sturdier??? The flat woc carries more than the puffy one. Any suggestion?

I think both are good. You won't even look at that puffiness when you wear it. You won't notice this difference in puffiness. You only notice it now when you compare them side by side.
And capacity will always be limited. Any WOC will have limited capacity, but honestly it is light, easy and glam. One of the best bags out there!
Thanks a lot. Yes I've picked the less puffier I find the leather quality as tougher and easier for me to put stuff inside as it accommodates more than the other one.

Monogram or Damier Azur?

I got the DA. That was what was available so it was decided for me. I've never had problems with the Azur print and I love it when it patinas. The contrast is so beautiful. Here are pictures of my azur bags. Saleya with 10 years patina, Speedy b with four years patina and Noe BB with one week of patina...

Trouble choosing my first Dior bag

Hi! Updating y’all… after many things happened since asking you. I finally got my hands on my new saddle bag in black leather and black buckle. And because I love the jacquard I also bought a vertical wallet!
Thank you all for helping me choose!
