So I definitely want to get a Speedy 30 this year. It will be my first Louis Vuitton. While shopping around, and looking and prices and pictures, I'm just wondering what you guys think - is it better to find a lightly used bag on consignment somewhere (i guess it's about a $200 difference usually), or go ahead and buy a fresh brand new one?
I'm trying to not go too far over budget, and the patina on the broken in bags is nice, but.. I'm still kind of thinking that it would be nice for my very first Louie to be brand new straight from LV or eLuxury.
What do you guys think? Is it worth a splurge for your very first purchase into a new brand? Since the Speedy has been a classic bag for decades, I'm not SO worried about the investment. I know those things hold up well.
Guidance please?
