Your collection is amazing! Here I am, the poster who is convincing everybody to let go of the items they don’t really need or seem to want badly enough :D

The ZCP is adorable and a fairly practical piece, I’m a fan of having an actual wallet instead of a key pouch because I don’t like my bags or SLGs to look stuffed! That being said; you have two items with the Venice print that you love, are you sure you would use yet a third that you don’t? In my opinion you’re better off sticking to your key pouch or at most getting a plain canvas/ leather ZCP for its functionality - either the Epi leather, which comes in a pretty blue colour as well (Blue Jean), or the plain monogram/DE/DA, or the giant monogram if you can find it, or even the Shanghai print one (though I do think having all SLGs in Christmas 2019 animation is a bit overkill). I can understand feeling like you need to keep it because of the effort you put into getting it, but if you don’t love it you won’t use it. Maybe you can just enjoy the thrill of the chase and the satisfaction of knowing you tracked that elusive piece down, but return it and use the money towards something else. I fear that if you consign it you will take a decent loss - especially since you will have to pay commission/listing fee to the consigning website.

Oh, and one more thing: if I wait til my birthday in May, it gives me a chance to use the Emp Key Pouch. Perhaps if LV has a red vernis ZCP in stock at that time, I can consider that as a possible next piece.
 
We are just so bad. :biggrin::lol: Glad you got them. I’ve been writing notes left and right since I got them. Do this, get that, etc. I love the idea of writing in them. :biggrin:
Lol Yes!! :D:D Thanks! Sounds great!! I think I should do the same! Thanks for the idea!! :) <3 I think they fit perfectly into smaller bags, and when I will buy my Apple Watch 5 (have no Apple Watch today) so maybe I don´t have to carry my phone everywhere! :)

Help! So decided to just keep two of the stuff I bought. So far I have the Paris pochette, Venice pochette, the Venice zippy and the Paris passport. I am returning the cable car pochette because it didn't make my heart sing. Which two should I keep? I am not really into SLGs so this is crazy for me. Lol. I just want something to stare at. Hahaha.

I’d keep the pochettes

I really like the Paris passport cover! So my choice would be maybe one of the mini pa and a passport cover.

Do you have any other prints in the items listed above? Do you use mini pochettes, zippy coin purse, or passport holders more? If you don’t have multiples of the items above, then I would suggest to keep mini pochette and zippy? But it is hard to choose. Or the Venice MP and the Paris passport holder..?

What do you use more, and what is your style like? Personally, I would use ZCP the most but that’s why I would probably NOT want the Venice one since I would want a wallet that is more neutral and goes with all kinds of moods/styles. So the Venice pochette would be good for me and my style especially since I can make the mini PA work as a clutch so I can show off the print :) as for the Paris print, I would probably go for the passport cover since I could use it either as an agenda or as an actual passport holder. Besides, what would I do with two decorative pochettes?

But this is very much dependent on my own style and needs :)
 
Thank you for taking the time to respond with such a thoughtful reply. Your insight helps a lot.

I’m guessing you are a fan of Marie Kondo. [emoji6]I read her book several years ago and put some of her tips into practice. There is something freeing about being willing to let things go.

I hadn’t purchased anything LV for nearly 4 years, so I think I got a little carried away. The animation collection wasn’t even on my radar - I was simply looking for a new bag and bag charm to replace my Eva as an everyday bag. I started looking at the end of October and well, you can see what’s happened in just a few weeks!

I have one bag charm from the Evasion collection several years ago that I enjoy using. Other than that, I had no LE pieces prior to this collection. The designs from this year have meaning for me because I studied aboard and traveled to all of the cities/countries in the collection. The only design I don’t personally own is the Shanghai. However, I purchased the ZCP in that pattern as a gift for my mom (she loves pink, purple, and the mono pattern). She’s absolutely thrilled with it and has been using it nonstop.

Your advice is sound. Although I’m still processing a decision, I’m leaning toward returning it and enjoying what I have! I’ll follow up to let you know where I land.

I am trying to be more Marie Kondo, yes :D I think you have made a lovely collection for yourself. Take your time to process your thoughts so you’re happy with your decision - also as an aside, the red vernis zippy is stunning. It can also be ordered, btw, even if your boutique doesn’t have in stock :) pick it up as a birthday present for yourself!

I’ve decided to return it. Thank you for your counsel!
 
TPF’ers - I am returning a Venice ZCP and a Ski Lift MP to my local boutique this week (no later than Thursday).

As an aside, I ended up with two Ski Lift MP’s since I had multiple requests out simultaneously. I plan to keep one and return one.

If anyone is interested, please let me know and I will put you in touch with my SA in Austin, TX. She is absolutely fabulous.

I would love your SA's info if you don't mind sharing. I did also message you about your ZCP too. I would love to buy it. Thanks :-)
 
after a lot of debate, i decided to just keep the mini pochette in venice and paris. idk if next year's will absolutely blow me away, but compared to the last 3 years, this year's xmas animation was at least cute and i don't think vivienne is going away anytime soon, considering it's their mascot.

here's why the last 3 years xmas animation didn't attract me (although some ppl may like it):
- 2016: Evasion Illustration - i didn't like the smog and dust from the cars engine
- 2017: Polar bear - this reminded me of the coca cola bear; Giraffe: no meaning to me
- 2018: Some bear skiing - looks like they skipped a lot of detail, esp with the mountain which are basically triangles;
Lions and cheetahs: reminded me of a Safari

this years
- 2019: features vivienne: louis vuitton mascot -- has at least some representation of LV;
the paris theme - home of LV
the venice theme has a stunning blue, the trunks have amazing detail

next years (what i'm hoping)
i hope next year, we can just have animations of scenic / iconic places with no living thing
