LV Soft Lockit: is it a timeless classic or just another IT bag?

[duna]

I have fallen in love with the LV Soft Lockit bag: since it's quite expensive I would like it to last, maybe not as timeless as a Hermès bag, but I don't want to buy an IT bag which will be dated in 1 or 2 years time.

I'm on the fence, what do you guys think?? TIA

I don't want to post this in the LV Forum as they would be biased, lol!

For me, the Lockit is a timeless classic. What do people call an it bag, anyway? A best selling bag which will last only one year or two? The Lockit, like the Speedy or the Neverfull are here to stay, in my opinion.

It is a pretty classic shape, I think it has staying power (caveat: I have one)

I think it has the potential to be a classic. Its shape is not too trendy, and I can see it being covetable for years.

While it is quite new...I still don't feel it is a it bag. I don't see anyone at LA sporting this bag like other LV bags. I feel it would be a modern classic along with the Artsy.

I'd say timeless classic but I might be biased- I want one! It does seem like it'd be a timeless classic though... as compared to say, a Celine Luggage, which is what I think is more of an IT bag.

I agree.. it has the potential to be a lovely classic. I think it is here to stay.

I know, you have it in Quetche (spelling?) if I remember correctly, which is the one I want!!

Yes,That is what I have, Quetsche (close!)

Having seen it now, I think it's too trendy - everybody's doing something with the "ears". Although I will say, of this 'type' - LV has done it the nicest.

I think it's a classic, although at that price I would personally pick other bags that'd serve the same purpose. Lovely bag though!

Here's a more economical 'version' from Brahmin. They used to have black too but don't see it now. Also they have the embossed exotics version

It's beautiful when stuffed-- I considered it for my next purchase but I saw this celebrity picture who was using it as a normal person with the long strap and it was hideous! For me, I need a little more structure, so for me it's pretty to look at but a no no for my day to day use.
