I love the fact that it zips. I would really like to see it in person. I live about 1.5 hours from a LV store. The more I see and hear about the Damier line, the more and more I want one. I have always been a fan of the epi, monogram canvas, and monogram mini. But I've never tried any of the other bags. Maybe I'll have to let the Chelsea be my first taste of Damier.
