Well, today I did a thing. I swore I'd never do this thing. My sister had an appointment at the Genius Bar, and Louis Vuitton was just across the way.

I've been debating a Neverfull GM for YEARS. Always deciding it is just too big, and would get too heavy. My niece just got a Monogram MM with Pivione, and it is beautiful. I have a DE MM from 2008 or 2009 that still looks new.

I only went in to browse. Then I asked about the NF MM in Monogram with Pivione. None..whew, I escaped. "But we have a GM!" After drooling over it, I decided it is just too big, and left the store. After five minutes I was back in the store. Yes, I did a thing. A brand new Neverfull GM in Monogram with a Pivione lining. Pictured with my Neverfull MM in Damier Ebene.

Great decision
 
Joining the April club with my first Neverfull mm in monogram with beige interior.

I ordered another in Damier Ebene with cherry interior in case I was lucky for a MIF handbag. Alas, both were MIU so I went with the monogram to not disrupt my collection streak (all my DE pieces are MIF, and all monogram are MIU).

The monogram ordered online did not have symmetrical alignment on the sides. Luckily, my SA had another in store that was much better.
in-store experience:
There is now a single line. They would bring my purchase if I was only picking up…but I like to inspect my bag. I was told to wait in line and it would be 20+ min wait. I asked if my SA was working, and she was. I kindly asked the door man if he could please tell her that I am here…4 min later, he gets us to enter the store.

While browsing, my friend noticed an empty champagne glass. I quietly asked the SA if they are serving, and she brought us a glass (Moët imperial)!

She showed me the small vanity bag and mini Pochette accessories but I instead bought a cosmetic pouch (MIF). The latter is bigger and I cannot justify paying more for a mini PA. They did not have samples of the new perfume scent so she gave us Spell on You and Heures D’Absence samples. I like the new scent - fresh and subtly floral.

It was such an overall pleasant experience. My SA even asked about my daughter and said I should bring her next time!

I love your set :heart: . I also like the vibe of your home store. It's white, pink, and bright. Most of the LV stores that I've been to are mostly all brown wood panels. Do you mind me asking which location this is?
 
Received my first item of April …and guess what, it’s an item that was released last April !
I think it’s fated to be mine, I wanted to replace my work tote,the Macassar Kitan that I‘m using since 2013, because it leather handles are about to break . I was thinking to buy Reverse Monogram OTG since few months ago, but couldn’t decide to get GM or MM. Last week I browse LV website to check on totes, and saw this is still available. I asked my CS to check whether it’s a defective piece or a return piece, after checking he told me it’s a brand new perfect piece. I then asked his opinion whether to get this or OTG MM, He said definitely go for this.
Here is my new work tote : The Watercolor Tote PM :loveeyes: :yahoo: View attachment 5371926View attachment 5371927
I‘m super happy with this purchase:
*The attached pouch , I can put all my small but important items inside it, eg thumb drives, bank digital tokens, bank slips , cheque books ( even though we hardly use cheques nowadays :lol:)
* There is an outer pocket for my access card and my office key, I don’t have to search for my key cles in the big tote anymore like I occasionally did, if I didn’t put cles in proper tote organizer pocket
* The price of this tote is still the same, as discontinued items don’t get price adjustment. If I buy OTG mm or other Weekend tote , their price is higher as compared to before Feb 16th.
So now I just have to wait for the bag organizer to arrive before I can start using this WC Tote ;)
Omg congratulations!!! Have been tossing up whether to get this item- this is an awesome review! What a lovely replacement for your work bag :loveeyes: :loveeyes:

I should be banned to the island as this is my unexpected haul again , 2nd purchase in this month. I did not expected to receive it so fast but the actual item very very pretty & dreamy! I never have a comestic pouch from LV, I going to use it as catch all to put into my big tote and convert to use it as crossbody bag for quick trip.

Thank you for letting me share my joy again. ❤
Congrats!! Looks amazing, now I'm tempted too! Would definitely make a great catchall in a larger bag!
