I'm always super paranoid that it'll get stolen/lost or draw unwanted attention from bad people. Plus I feel wierd if I leave it in a hotel room. I always travel w/ something not quite as nice just in case (love the Longchamp totes for this reason). Am I just pyscho? hehe :D

you're not psycho...

where are you going? are you going to a large city where LV is popular, or out in a small town? personally, i travel w/messenger bags for that very reason, especially if i'm going sight-seeing. but for dinner out or somewhere indoors, i would definitely use my speedy.

I don´t have a speedy, but I travel with my pochette gange, i love it because its so practical, and using it around my body, I pay no mind about someone would take it easily from me. I like Lv lugagge but first, I cant afford it, two I caught more and more eyes and three, my parents simpky would make me return to home and change my luggage.

I bought a monogram canvas Trouville for my one day trips but I just used it once. The patina was starting to develop even it was in its dustbag and in the most hidden place from my wardrobe, hehe. 3 months ago I sold it to my aunt, who loves big, enormous bags, I cant think about the thing I bought for little luggage its being used as a daliy handbag!! Well, everyone is different...

not psyco at all....when I stay overnight in atlantic city...I am not about to carry an expensive bag around. I like going into the casino late at night and I see alot of shady people around and Im very observant and I do see how some people "scope" you out. Its not worth it. So yes, sometimes for safety sake its better to not draw attention to yourself. I would never leave an expensive bag in the hotel room either.

I think it really depends on where you are travelling to. I bought my Speedy in Vegas, and carried it around Vegas for a few days. I also left it in my hotel room a couple of times too. When I left it in my room I made sure it was well hidden in my luggage, I didn't leave it sitting out in the open.

My speedy 30 is my everyday bag, and I also take it on vacations. I always have one eye on my purse when I am out and about. The only time I have had a problem was in Puerto Vallarta, My husband noticed 2 guys following a little too close...Pulled me into a store, and waited for the guys to go by....If I am in a hotel I will hide the bag if I am not going to use it.
