Attracting attention is the biggest downside. It keeps me from carrying mine as often as I would like.

I see myself having finally bought a LV and have it sitting in my wardrobe because if that. :( So, I stay away.

Not much of a plan - tomorrow is my mother's birthday. It's going to be a bit depressing, because one of her cousins died all of a sudden (he was 89, but still healthy and fit). The funeral is on the afternoon tomorrow. :sad: Also her leg is still in pain. New Year's Eve is going to be quiet. With toast and and her favorite punch. ;)

Thank you, I'll do so. It's a bit rough for her. Today we found out that her foot is not suffering from osteoarthritis but it is broken. And in January she is having an eye surgery. No fun to get old. :(

@ tax report: I see we are on the same side;)
Oh I am sorry. Tell her gute Besserung. Actually I have no clue where to find a real good physician, otherwise I'd tell you:(

Most of the LV threads are full of ladies panicking over spots on the vachetta or minute fading of the canvas.
I love the light feeling of carrying mine. They hold tons. I see many used as work bags.
They certainly are cheaper in Europe even if they never go on sale.
I love mine even if they don't get the use they should.

I had never heard anyone worry about the vachetta before joining TPF.....
I don't get it !
In my place, we don't pay attention to it at all. It darkens, so what?

I am so sorry, Ludmilla! Losing a loved one is tough.
Lots of old people are so fit that we think nothing bad is going to happen.
I send hugs to your family.:heart::heart:

Dankeschön. :) physicians are hard to find. The doctor wanted to send her to the clinc - further examination and evaluation if a surgery is necessary. She did not want to go. So, a removable splint it is. The bone is not completely broken...

I actually like the darkened patina. It gives the bag a individual life.

Thank you! Although we see people getting old we often ignore their age. :(

It happened to a person I know. Nothing had happened to her, I mean no fall or accident, she was in pain all the time, had a scan and they told her her foot was broken. They called it " fracture de fatigue" I don't know the English for it.
Can your mum walk a little? Is her foot in a plaster?
As for eye surgery, I suppose it's because of cataract.
In my area, even young people are being operated on now.
Some ophthalmologists say it's because they never wear sunglasses, especially in summer or when they go skiing and sun is bright...

It's funny LV means money to lots of people.I mean there are more expensive bags that are carried everyday and no one has a clue how much they cost and don't pay attention.:hrmm::hrmm:
Look at Hermès Birkin, most people I know wouldn't recognize it, let alone know about its price,...

It is called Ermüdungsbruch in German and means the same like your French term. It must have happened two weeks ago while she was out and about with her bike. She did not fall, but her foot started to hurt. Since then the foot/under part of leg hurt and was swollen. As she as ostoarthritis in the right foot we thought it is just a severe attack. She has a plastic plaster/splint now. Walking is not so good and I fear she will overdo now.
Yes, it is a cataract surgery. Hopefully, no complications there.

True. LV bags are very well known thanks to their pattern. I guess the leather versions are a different story.
