Help me decide NF..to keep or not to keep?

[Raaz]

Just received the Damier Peach Neverfull. For context, my most used and probably my favourite daily tote bag is Neonoe in mono (along with Gucci Rajah tote in grey and Prada Galleria in Talc i.e white grey). I want to add a carefree summer bag. I want to add a Neverfull in a limited edition print without big LV logos… shame the by the pool coral Neverfull would had been perfect had it not been for the big logo in the centre. With careful consideration, I have settled on Damier Peach Neverfull. However, I am in two minds about it. It is a tad on the white side rather than peach for my liking. However, I really like the pink, peach and yellow combination and the pouch is very pretty. Any opinion or advise will be very very helpful. Also, self confession here, I am being influenced by how unpopular this collection has been amongst the LV lovers or bag lovers. I could not find a single unboxing of this bag on YouTube. Really appreciate your honest thoughts. Thank you in advance!

If you have to start a poll about it the answer is usually no.

Lol! Story of my life. I envy those amazingly decisive people….I genuinely do like the bag!

So my issue with damier azur and, along the same lines, this bag - are that I hate the way they look when the leather patinas, but I love them new. This might add a consideration point for you. I really like it but would probably sell it as soon as it started to get darker.

I second this but in a different way. I love an even honey-colored patina but dislike the process of a patina so I usually don't buy anything with vachetta on it.
However, are you okay with such a light colored or light-toned bag with a darker patina? I'm okay with the standard LV brown and black colors, but on a spring/summer bag, I'd think twice. I'm not sure if I would like the look of a patina for this colorway.
For this bag, I appreciate the color of brand new vachetta.

Good point. Has anyone tried using Carbon pro on vachetta? Does it really protects it from getting water marks and slows down the patina? Thank you again for your insight.

I like damier, and like the color combination, there is nothing I don't like

Keep it, it's a beautiful bag and it's perfect for summer.

Keep it, it's a beautiful bag and it's perfect for summer.

Agreed

 

[papertiger]

Compared with other Summer bags for the same price-point, this ones miles in front, I say keep and enjoy to the max this Summer and beyond

 

[Raaz]

Thank you all for your help. There are more Yays than Nays. I am leaning towards keeping it!

I reckon you should keep it! Stay off the Youtubes etc for a week and see if you like it more. Why did other people hate it, and were they people who actually saw it in person and had they bought it themselves? Edit- just reread your post, thought you meant people hated it on YouTube haha

I saw someone post theirs on the Louis Vuitton Reddit, it looked amazing and they seemed happy with theirs. I think the vachetta would give it a nice vintage look over time, and it's a nice change from regular Damier (I am usually not into classic LV patterns). As long as you're OK if the canvas edges get scuffed or anything, but that happens with regular NFs, too. I think this colourway is one that people who actually do like it, would regret missing out on in future.

Good luck deciding !

I have the neverfull btp from last year in pink. I thought it was fun & really loved it but was hesitant about the large logo. So didn’t carry it much last summer. I went and looked at this bag thinking it would better suit me since it is a bit quieter but realized it wasn't fun enough for me to carry in the summer. So I started carrying my btp this year and now I really love it. All this to say, if you like it, wear it with confidence and enjoy! 🥰

I don't think last year's BTP NF in Pink was available in some countries! So definitely rock it! I prefer last year's BTP to this year's, too

I say keep it. As you said this years btp has the large logo which you’re not keen on and this damier peach is really sweet and subtle. The peach, yellow, pink colourway is gorgeous and perfect for summer! Once the vachetta patinas more I reckon it will look amazing. Will be such a gorgeous tote for spring/summer. The pouch is so pretty too. It can definitely be used for years to come and very unique and special. Not everyone will have it, which is a bonus.
