Congrats on your first LV!! The vachetta is in excellent shape for a 10 year old bag (I personally love it light to medium tan like this one, lol). My advice is that it needs to be love for sure regardless of the price. What are your hesitations if you want to share? The good thing is that you have almost 30 days to decide. (Or you can try it out for I believe up to 90 days now and still get 70% buy back price).

Thanks! I got this style because I like totes and this one has a better strap length than the Neverfull. One hesitation is the open top as I prefer zippers. Another is if it’s just too old of a style, even thought it’s in amazing shape.

Others I’m considering are Neverfull MM in Mono, Neverfull MM Mono World Tour with black trim, and Flower Hobo in Mono. I would love any words of advice!!!

I prefer a bag with a zipper too. I noticed that your other choices are all without zippers as well (with the flower hobo having a magnetic (?) closure only, very pretty though). What about the Iena (which is like a Neverful but with a zipper)? They no longer sell it in Mono but you can probably find a preloved mono one on FP. (I am biased because I have an Iena not in Mono. If you are interested, you should look at the Clubhouse thread to see if there is any issue/concern of note). I should mention that some people say that some of their older LVs have thicker canvas so not sure if that is something of concern (the Iena has only been around 2 years or so — definitely a bag with the new lighter canvas.). We can also chat more in a pm

For @Iamminda , I messed up the quoting!

I tried on the Iena in Monogram this summer and liked it! I should have gotten it then as I had no idea it was going to be discontinued! I've looked on FP and so far only see the PM size. I think the MM might be better for what I carry so I keep checking back. I was also considering the Tournelle and the Melie which were both discontinued. :sad: I'll PM you a few more questions! :smile:

The All T, it’s an eBay buy! I realize it’s a 2015 bag, but this is my first foray into Tory Burch! I absolutely love yours, might have to wait for it to be a Christmas present! I researched the bags and some are quite amazing, like the beauty you have! Thank you for posting and getting me out of a rut!

Got my first LV but still deciding on it. It’s a Batignolles Horizontal from Fashionphile from early 2008. Used birthday money and credit card rewards to cover it, but want to be 100% sure it’s love even though it was “free”. [emoji6]

Overcast day so hard to get a great pic!

This was mt first LV bag (oddly enough from 2008 also). I still love it!
I had the same concerns with you about the open top. When I bought it I was deciding between it and the neverfull and ended up with the batignolles because the straps were infinite times more comfortable. In 10 years of owning and using I've never had an issue with the open top. I usually keep the clip together and that actually holds it closed more than I expected. The vachetta looks amazing! If you love it and the price is right I'd definitely keep it.

Good to know about the open top, thank you! Do you find the straps stay on your shoulder well? I read the clubhouse thread for the Batignolles and it seemed that a few people said the outer strap would fall off their shoulder.

I think mine do a little bit now that the vachetta has patina. Since I cant really think of it offhand in gonna say it's not that big of a problem for me. When I have a bag that does slip I usually tuck the outside strap under the inside one and usually that helps keep them both on my shoulder.

This is my first Tory Burch bag too, just fell in love with the color! I'm still in it and not wanting to move out. Since I'm not familiar with her bags I'm going to look up the style you bought. I'm glad you found one and I really hope you enjoy her!!
