Okay, so I bought my first LV last January, a mono trouville. At the time I was having trouble deciding btw/ the trouville and the cabas piano. I felt like since it was my FIRST LV I needed something a little more dressy and not as relaxed as the cabas piano.
but the day after I bought the trouville I had second thoughts and wanted to exchange it for the piano, but for whatever reason I sucked it up and used my trouville every day for 6 months straight. Trust me, grocery shopping with a hand-held bag gets old! So I felt guilty for wanting to get another mono, and to fill this void that I felt for my cabas piano I bought other bags that were gorgeous, but just couldn't make me happy enough to forget the piano . Every time I saw another girl with one I would stare wistfully . I ended up selling a bunch of bags that I just didn't use/love enough to keep and I had been looking at cabas piano on ebay every once in a while the past 6 months, just keeping an eye out, because I didn't want to buy a brand new piano b/c of all the price increases and plus the vachetta bottom. So somehow by the grace of the handbag gods and alignment of the planets, an auction was ending last night and I told my hubby shyly about it, b/c he HATES handbags, esp my choice in expensive designer ones () and using his incredible skills, he helped me win MY cabas piano last night!!! I felt so ecstatic...it felt just like the first time I bought my LV !
Now my hubby asked me if this was going to hold me over for the next year and I can honestly say it will. I feel "complete" now with my handbag collection albeit it's small. But I have my cute hand-held trouville, my gorgeous mahina, and now my go-to everyday bag!!
I have to ask too, have you ladies ever felt complete? like there isn't any other bag out there for you to lust after once you got that one lust worthy piece that always got foiled? I felt like I was trying to get other bags to replace what I truly wanted...and Now that I have it, I want to believe that I won't keep trying to fill that void any longer.
I'll post pics when she gets here!!
