Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear it might be happening again on your replacement bag :sad: could u post a photo of it?


You can see one side of the bag has already develop the lines. Wondering if it's me becoming paranoid imagining things.

I do see it :sad: do you intend to bring it in again for assessment, although they told you it was a one time exchange? Perhaps it's worth trying, see if there's anything they can do for you.

Yes, I brought it back to the store, on goodwill they gave me a final exchange. I'm thrilled and appreciate the SA and her manager for helping me out. I'm happy now and taking the bag out everyday instead of sitting in the closet. Thank you too for your advice ☺️

That’s awesome! So glad you are happy with your bag and thank you for letting us know about that possible issue.

I’m a sucker for vachetta but ended up going with noir. It was a tough decision but in the end I felt the noir was more versatile and looked better when just using the gold chain. I also don’t carry it with both straps attached, I just use one or the other.

they're both stunning, but I'm really drawn to the black. I love that it's more carefree and will go with a ton of different outfits. If you wear black or neutral tones it'll go and it can be more easily elevated into an evening bag!

Finally took my Boulogne out for a spin. Spending the weekend in Austin and the my goodness, the versatility of the strap makes her the perfect travel bag and in the noir it’s completely worry free. I wore it is a crossbody at the airport and switched to a shoulder bag once we arrived and headed out to enjoy the city.

For reference, I am 5’5” size 10/12 and you can see where it hits for me worn as a crossbody.

Omg I've never purchased a bag with less thought or research but it just happened! I guess you could say love at first sight and price be damned? :panic:We'll see what it's like when it arrives in a few days!

LOL I love your post. I'm right there with you. Usually I hem and haw for weeks, but I basically exploded when I saw this bag! I recently purged and gutted my closet to be more minimal. I'm trying to create a capsule wardrobe where I can create many outfits with a few good staple pieces and I just went through purging my purses as well and am planning to sell literally most of them. I realized that aside from the pochette metis (which I will also be selling) I don't have a good small/medium sized bag. I also have mostly small crossbody bags. I really don't know what I was thinking. I used to just buy stuff cuz I thought they were trendy or cute, but now that I'm thinking about my wardrobe as a system it's making me be more systematic and intentional with what I need to get to work with my closet. Generally though I would avoid medium sized bags because they're usually too big for my frame but when I saw this online and saw how you could change it up from day to night AND it came in a version with black leather I was like ok. This is happening.

I got it today and OMG I'm so in love it's ridiculous! I'm so excited that it's literally the perfect size! it can fit what i need it to without weighing me down or looking gigantic! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the snap button snap to change the lengths, the zipper closure, the d-ring on the strap to add charms, the beautuful and carefree black leather detailing... This is going to change everything for me lol I already grabbed some outfits from my closet and this bag goes with all of them so well!

That’s so fantastic congratulations! Yes I have to say I have had no regrets buying the Boulogne in noir. One of the best bag purchases ever! Super versatile and easy to wear. I use both the leather and chain straps on my other bags all the time too. The more I use it the more I love and appreciate it! Congratulations on getting a beautiful and super versatile bag! :heart:

Aww, these are so cute!! How do you like your boulogne? Could you share any pros and cons?
I love the boulogne so much! Sure I can list out the pros and cons so far! I've only owned the bag for almost 3 weeks but I've been using it everyday!

Pros:
1. Lightweight
2. Durable and carefree - I haven't tried this but apparently the noir version can handle snow and rain pretty well
3. Size is perfect - not too big, not too small. I usually love smaller bags but then I really have to think about the bare essentials - with this bag I don't have to think. The shape of the bag makes it easy to carry on the shoulder and also crossbody. It fits everything I need easily with lots of room without looking like a bigger bag. I still carry very little in the bag itself as if I were carrying a mini bag. I like that I don't have to worry about playing tetris with the bag and I can easily carry extra stuff that I need to like my sunnies or my husbands wallet etc. To me on my frame this feels like it's is a smaller bag too not a medium sized bag. For reference I'm 5'4: and 118 lbs.
4. Can be dressed up or down really easily! I've dressed super casually with this bag and I've gone to brunch and dinners and date night carrying this bag with a fancier outfit and it transitions super easily! It's literally replaced like 80% of the bags in my closet. No joke.
5. I think this bag would be great for travel, it has a double zip so if you wanted added security you could lock the zips if you really wanted to with either a lock, bag charm or scarf
6. STRAP! Omg the snap strap is so amazing! I love all 3 of the lengths (shoulder, mid shoulder and crossbody) and I love how it adjusts with snap closures! It keeps the strap really sleek without worrying about excess strap that you usually have to do deal with with a regular buckle strap. I think it's my favorite feature about the bag.
7. It has a sidepocket inside that can easily fit an iphone 12 pro or a card holder - I really don't need that much organization in smaller bags but having a separate place for my phone is always a plus.
8. It has a D ring on the strap where you can hang charms :smile: I'm obsessed with that lol

Cons:
1. The dark interior might make you feel like it's a black hole, but I haven't particularly found it to be an issue but I've heard others complain about it.
2. Quality issues with the hardware or bag - I would just inspect the bag really well because generally LV's quality has kinda slipped lately. I've also read about how others have returned the bag because of some of these issues. My bag actually had a slight problem with the strap hook but they replaced the strap immediately for me so it wasn't a big deal. I would just say be careful here. But the bag itself is amazing and worth the risk imo lol. Also the pochette metis had hella production issues but that clearly didn't deter the masses in the end lol

That's all I can think of for now! Hope that helped :smile: Feel free to ask any other questions :smile:
