would this convince you? muahahahaha!!!
I love my bag- I've taken extra care of all LV items I've owned and this one is no different (i.e. making sure the surface I set it down on like at: the grocery store, my car, anywhere in my house, the video store--- isn't cruddy or dusty....)
It might be a high maintenence bag b/c of the color to some people but to others it's just like any other LV they've had.
but to me--- it's special. It's special because it's the first *brand new* LV I've bought. The Manhattan and Petit Bucket along with the Papillon were all used and from Ebay. My speedy is from elux and is so *fresh* lol
so, enjoy this pic!
