If you’re using it for yourself and for kids stuff my recommendation are:Can anyone suggest alternatives to the LV Neverfull? As a busy mother of two, it needs to be spacious, comfortable to wear on the shoulder and easy to get in and out of (no cumbersome clasps, buckles etc.) I have a Neverfull and love its practicality but am ready for change. Suggestions please!
that is so gorgeous!I recommend the Dior Panarea. It's made with a very durable canvas called coated denim, and it's really pretty.
Awesome! I wanted something similar to NF GM size. Can you post a pic of your large longchamp?I was entertaining the thought of a NF GM for a while. I ended up going down a completely different path as I felt like it would be a compromise. Not crazy about the price, not crazy over the fact that it has no zipper, not crazy over that it's not leather, not crazy about so many things.
Decided to give Longchamp LP custom size 4 a go. It's pretty much the same size as LV NF GM, costs 152€ incl. LH, embroidery and shipping, lasts well through the years (my other custom LP is 11 yrs old and still looking great), has a zipper, is basically all I wanted. After 4 days of testing - I'm in love.
A good alternative for the MM size would be DvF Voyage tote, croc embossed leather and a gorgeous red suede lining. Can be found on VC on a regular basis. Use mine whenever I want to carry a reasonable amount of stuff in style.
Another vote for Fauré Le Page. I bought a Goyard zipped tote last month and was going to get a St Louis a week later... However, in my tPF research, I decided on a FLP Daily Battle and am now obsessed. I really like my Goyard Artois, but I haven’t used it since I got my Daily Battle.
SO PRETTY!
So good to know! Which size did you get? And color? Looking to replace my Neverfull MM Damier with either a Neverfull MM in epi noir (love the structure of this bag), a fauré le page or a goyard artois MM. seriously cannot decide! Do you no longer use the Artois because it’s too big? That’s my main concern - I want it to be less wide by about two inches. Thanks!
Thank you, I think so too!SO PRETTY!
PM is too small - ugh I feel like Goldilocks!I got a black black Artois MM. A week later, I ordered the Daily Battle size 37 with grey canvas and grey leather.
I love the Artois and will use it more eventually, but it just feels more delicate than the DB. I don’t see a lot of Goyard in Berlin, but FLP is even less ubiquitous so there’s that too. Since buying the DB, I have also ordered a FLP tassel, key chain, coin purse and notebook cover (and I am normally just about the bags) so I just fell kinda hard and fast for FLP!
I do love the zipper on the Artois and if you like structure, it is more structured than the DB, but not as much as epi (I looked at that exact same LV but it was too heavy for me). I ordered a Samorga organizer for my Artois to help keep the bottom flat because I did notice that it would droop a bit. I don’t feel it’s too big, but maybe you would prefer the PM?
