Loving this thread! Like a lot of people, I started my bag collection with Louis Vuitton, which I still adore, but there is something about Alaia that speaks to my heart. It's feminine and edgy, if that makes sense to you all.
I finally took the plunge one day and have the Lili 24 and it's like wearing art every day. I get lots of compliments from people (I don't think they know Alaia) admiring the shape of this tote. The construction and leather quality is also divine. I'm not a careful person, and I still have yet to see signs of wear.
