I just came back from a short holiday in Paris and want to share the newest addition to my collection with you:

This cute Speedy 25 Bandoulière Monopaname from Fall/Winter 23 collection

I know the style is quite controversial and some consider it tacky, but for me, it’s a very thoughtful collection mirroring the history of Louis Vuitton.

Paris is one of my favourite cities - so a bag referring to its street signs makes me really happy when looking at it. The orange and beige stripes refer back to the times when LV luggage was first personalized for clients, my CA told me.

And where’s a better place to buy such a bag than in Paris? :heart:

By the way I highly recommend the store in Avenue Montaigne, just a short walk from Champs Élysées and so classy and quiet in comparison to the overcrowded flagship store.

Congratulations I really like this bag. Can you post another pic of the colour inside the bag please. So beautiful!! (I love the spin/twist of history).
 
Went in to pick up DE strap for my speedy 20 (can't stand the thick strap that it came with) with hubby. While waiting for my order, my hubby went off on his own to look around and came back with this bag, Marellini. It's small but roomy enough to fit my essentials and love the extra straps, pouch, and reverse mono mirror that it comes with. I also love the contrast between the dark piping and quartz epi leather. Thanks for letting me share. :heart:

So cute! I have the Marelle in black. Now I want a Marellini in a fun color like pink or lilac.

Today I got this pre-loved 1854 bandeau for my wine PM and I am comparing these two shawls as well, the first one is in grape color and the other is amarante. Which one do you prefer, or is a better fit? (My answer: both, I am biased :biggrin:)

OMG what an eye candy! :love::love::love: Your bag is soooooo gorgeous, so are the bandeau and both shawls! :tender: both colors are AMAZING (I’m a purple lover ;-)) and I would agree with you, if you could keep both and have a use case for them, why not ;-) Looking at them more closely, I find amarante to be a better color match, but grape to have a more vivid and fresh shade, which can of course also be combined with your stunning bag.:girlsigh:please let us know what you decide! :ghi5:
