Hi all TPFers! I want your opinions regarding my first LV. Been stalking all your reveals and yet to pull the trigger on my first LV. My birthday is coming soon, and I got my first bonus for my job some time ago... I have yet to buy myself something nice as a reward.
I've always gravitated towards the neverfull MM, mainly because I am a tote girl. Seems like the neverfull is a popular choice among LV lovers as well. I am a bit concerned regarding the thin shoulder straps, my current tote also has such thin straps and it has been cracking/wearing out because of the weight of the things I carry! The neverfull MM is a tad big, I tried in the LV store and it felt kinda awkward, PM is too small for the amount of things I carry.
The other day I saw a girl carrying a Palermo PM, it was a fairly patina-ed bag. I simply fell in love and couldnt take my eyes off the bag. The size is perfect. I love the patina! I dont think that my arms can fit in those two straps without getting an 'armpit wedgie' though. I have never carried bags with long shoulder straps, I dont know if I can get used to it.
What a dilemma! Help fellow TPFers! I intend to get a good workhorse bag which I can carry from work to play. Which is a better style? Of course, there is the price factor, Palermo PM is more expensive than the Neverfull MM.
