Hi everyone! I am pretty new to tPF and this is my first ever new thread. In the beginning, I thought I would die of impatience before I got to post for advice...and then I got caught up in everything tPF related and didn't notice I have been "eligible" for awhile. Figures.
Let's get to the nitty gritty. I need your help!
To this point, I have been in LV "lust from afar" territory. I finally decided to stop delaying the happy (haha) and go ahead and get myself a pre-loved bag rather than waiting to buy new. The dilemma, of course, is WHICH pre-loved bag?!?
Originally, I thought for sure I would get a Mono Speedy because, well...it's the speedy, right? It's a simple, iconic bag and there seems to be a good pre-loved supply. BUT, I'm struggling with this because I have discovered that I do so love the Mono Alma (actually, I love pretty much every Alma). I worry more about getting a pre-loved Alma, however, because of the additional vachetta. For the Speedy, I am torn between a 25 and 30. For the Alma, the PM.
What about either of these bags in DE? Those are much harder to find and tend to be more expensive so, I think they might be better purchased new. Maybe?
Are there any other bags you would recommend for a first timer looking in the pre-loved only market at this time? Tips on what to consider when looking? If it helps, I am 29, 5'5", and a professional graduate student (at least that's how it feels! ha).
LV lovers, please help a newbie out!
:kiss:
Thanks in advance!!
