Stepped into the store after what seemed like ages (I’m been doing online shopping on LV website instead). I was eyeing on a few items and couldn’t possibly order all the items and slowly inspect one by one to compare and I wasn’t even sure if those three items are the ones I would get because I had a 4th item that wasn’t launched yet (Kusama flowers speedy) I was eyeing too.
I was grossing underwhelmed by the Onthego PM!!! Going by the measurements on the web, it should be nearer to the size of a speedy 25, just a slimmer profile.
However, it’s nearer to my speedy 20 instead!! Both frontal profile and sides. It’s just taller.
Next, I asked to look at Empreinte speedy 25 and the braided DE 25. I really wanted a muted design (in terms of logos, I want it to be “quieter”, hence, black is suitable because you can only see the logo up close). The braided was a tinge of sweetness with a comfort I’m used too (I love DE).
I was also able to get the price of Kusama speedy in flowers. $5400 sgd available for ordering. I gathered some feedback from my husband and friend. I also recalled someone saying, she would have gotten the Kusama flowers if she were 30 yo. She reminded me that I’m not all teensy cutesy age anymore and the flower is attractive now, but will it still suit me when I’m 50-ish?
So, after careful considerations, I decided to bag home between noir or braided.
No, this part was not at LV, because I wasn’t VIC. At least the CA was patient enough with me. The previous CA I stuck with was not that patient and only offers me stuff when there are leftovers. He brushes me aside when I said I’m looking for certain canvas pieces. So, the trip to the store was also about looking for a new CA that I can work with.
The Empreinte was a tad heavier than braided. The weigh matters here because I want to use it as a work bag. For sure I’m gonna be dumping a lot of stuff inside. I’m leaning towards braided more than Empreinte. It’s true I do not have Empreinte speedy and I own tons of DE speedy (ok, 2, not tons). But the heart likes what the heart likes.
I didn’t do an unboxing because it’s not any different from the usual DE except for these:
1) Shiny golden zipper pulls and D-rings instead of the usual matte type.
2) The braided straps and handles of course.
The hardware linking the handles and bag were still the matte hardwares.
It’s not anything different from the usual DE speedy that I own which I need to take in a million angles. It’s just a sweeter version of my usual DE speedy. One tiny thing before I can use it - I need an insert for this because I’m really quite clumsy and the light pink interior is sweet. I cannot smear it with my careless usage. While waiting for my insert to arrived, I will puff up the bag to remove the folded creases when they were storing the bag.

Congratulations!
Congratulations on these beauties! That color is just stunning! I love pinks and magenta colors
