hi everyone, (this is my first post! please give me a warm welcome )
i wanted some help deciding on my very first louis vuitton bag! i've always considered purchasing one, but i think i'm finally ready to take the plunge after some saving.
the only problem is.. i have no idea which bag to get! i typically like shoulder/crossbody bags, and i was looking to get a monogram piece as i just love the print.
here are the bags i'm currently considering:
palm springs mini - i love this little bag! i think it's so cute, and it'd definitely be more carefree as it has treated leather rather than vachetta.. but i'm a bit concerned about some of the things people have said about it (fussy zipper closure, fraying issues, etc.). and it's also a bit trendy so i'm not sure if i'll still love it after a few years. BUT i also don't know if it'll always be available for purchase, so i'm tempted to get it first just to make sure it doesn't get discontinued and i lose my opportunity to get one forever..
speedy bandoliere 25 in monogram - this is so classic in my eyes and i don't think i could really go wrong with it, but i'm a little worried about the vachetta. i feel like i'd have to baby it a great deal, and as it'd be my first bag, i'm not sure what i'd do on rainy days and also, i could always get this bag later on. however, it'd definitely fit all my things comfortably and i feel like it'd be a great "grab and go" bag.
favorite mm in either monogram or de - i think this would definitely be the most carefree more for me. i could envision myself taking this everywhere.. from the grocery store to a nice dinner without the crossbody strap. however, i feel like it might be a bit too simple and i'm not sure if it'd be as exciting to carry.
in the back of my mind, i'm also considering the alma bb! i'm not totally in love with the silhouette, but it seems like a really cute crossbody bag for everyday use as well as for dressier occasions.
what would you get if you were in my position? i'm so torn!!
