Hey all! So as you know I'll be making my first visit to LV (Troy, Michigan) in a couple of weeks, and I really want to walk out with a nice LV purchase since it's my first trip. So I have to decide between two bags.
Right now I have a monogram Sonatine, a Pochette Accessoires and a Damier Speedy 25.
I've always wanted a Monogram Speedy 25; it's been on my wishlist for years. I am just REALLY picky about patina and I'm afraid once the handles start to darken I won't carry it as much past a certain point-- my Reade PM and Monogram Sonatine are proof of that, as I stopped carrying them once the honey patina darkened up. AND I already have a Damier Speedy 25, which is my favorite bag next to my new Hermes bag; I love how classy and elegant it is, perched in the crook of my arm. And I love the fact that there's no patina to worry about!
I don't have many shoulder bags left, really, and I'm very interested in the Neverfull, as it's similar in shape to my one remaining shoulder bag, a Coach signature stripe tote that I use at football games and such. I love the shape and style of that bag, as well as the long straps and being able to toss it over my shoulder.
So my question is, which should I choose? The Neverfull PM or the Speedy, and why? Do they hold comparable amounts? I never fill my Speedy 25 up all the way when I carry it. What's the downfall to each? With the Neverfull I know there's less vachetta, and therefore less patina, to worry about, but I love the look of the Speedy too.
TIA!
