I wonder if the proportions are the same with the Cruise Bel Air? The new one seems smaller?

If it really is smaller, I'm going to be disappointed. I've been wanting to get a bag from lv in a satchel style. I was really excited for bel air and after seeing the pics on social media, I'm really hoping that my eyes are just tricking me. That being said, it looks like the proportions are just about the same to me.

Does your Bel Air have kind of like a plastic/chemical smell? I find a lot of my bags from the 90's to early 2000's have the smell... especially my monogram Trouville from 2004 and Cherry Blossom pochette from 2003. Sadly, nothing I've tried really removes it. I just deal with it, it's not really an offensive smell per se just a bit strong!
It is hard to describe, it is more perfume than chemical. Almost like some type of scented disinfectant.
Hopefully, it will dissipate soon.

Thanks for thinking of me! :heart: I was close to buying the nano Turenne on eBay but thought it was too similar to the Speedy. I already feel the nano Dora is very similar to the nano Speedy (though it fits quite a bit less!)

Wish LV would release more nanos in the Cruise 2020 collection (see how I just tried to steer back to topic? ;))
Seriously though. The micro bumbag and Palm Springs backpack are cute, but not practical. For me, it needs to at least fit my iPhone 6s to be considered practical... that's why I would've loved a Boite Chapeau but when I couldn't fit my phone in it, it was a deal breaker. I know keeping my phone at a certain angle would fit based on what someone else told me here, but that's too much work for a $5k (CAD) bag!
I agree with the nano speedy and turenne. I have the nano turenne, which I love and each time I think to get the nano speedy, I feel like they’re too similar and also in size, so no point in getting it.
