^ I hear you, I'm drawn to it's modern shape too. I see in your sig you want a bh, so if you get a reg. bat would you still be getting a bh? sorry if you already answered this in this thread, haven't read every post. You're going to LV to try on the bag and check out bags or to buy the bat. new? I myself am on the fence about buying the bv new. I want it as my knock around bag and have 650 saved towards it so I'm close to having enough for retail, but don't know if I want to pay retail when I can save a hundred or so and get used on ebay. I got my 2 speedies new on elux and feel a little neurotic about them and don't want to be nuts about this bag. I just don't want to feel the previous owner on my bag and have experienced that before buying used. what do you think? I think I should get it used so I won't be afraid of it and will use it as much as I plan on. I think I could probably get a really nice one for 600 on ebay and that's like a little over a hundred in savings to go towards something else, lol.
