Hi. I was SO set on getting the Brea PM on Sunday for my birthday (I'm turning 16, haha... it's kind of a birthday present TO myself since I saved the money up.)
and now... I've been set off track... with Monogram Idylle - the speedy! It's soooo pretty and I love the speedy shape... and it has no vachetta (which I do think I should take a break from.) I feel like it's also more classic than the Brea PM... and I think I'd get a lot more use out of it (for school, etc) and it seems a lot more durable for my life style.
I think they're equally pretty... but I think I have this thing with vachetta... I LOVE IT - until it gets REALLY dirty, then I'm "okay" with it. I mean, it doesn't ruin a bag for me, but I get more enjoyment out of the oxidation process then the actually vachetta - LOL!
I think this will be my last bag until September...
My mother and me currently have an Epi Lockit in Ivory put on hold, a Tivoli PM, a Speedy 25 in azur and Mono NF MM.
Why does LV have to release these new bags!? It makes things so much harder. I also LOVE the lock on the Speedy... it's so pretty. It reminds me of the lock on the vernis Alma (out of my budget!)
I do ALREADY have a speedy though... I wonder if it will be a bit repetitive? It's a 30 (which is the size I originally wish I would have gotten for my damier azur speedy) But at the same time... the Brea is very similair to the speedy as well... and the handles on the brea are sort of uncomfortable (from what I remember...) on my wrist... so I don't think I'd get much use out of it as a handbag - where as the speedy handles are always comfortable. So it's more versatile. I honestly was feeling like I was 'settling' on the brea... but at the same time I don't want to be 're-settling' on the Idylle speedy.
I'd be getting either amarante or sepia.
Here are pictures and measurements:
The Brea is a bit more 'glitzier'... but I don't know if that's what I'm going to like in a couple of months?
Also: does anyone know how long either bags will be around or if they will BOTH be permenant?
