I can't believe I was able to get this bag. I wished for it but never believed it would happen. It's the Capucines BB from Nicolas Ghesquière’s LV Symphony. I randomly walked into my boutique on Saturday and there it was on the shelf. Music has meaning to me because my mom was a professional pianist and died from covid in 2020 before vaccines were available. According to my SA there was only one other in a New York store unless it sold this weekend. I am completely amazed that it's mine. The second pic is the bag on the piano that I inherited from her. Both my parents are gone, maybe this was a sign or gift from them?

I've been waiting for this color release all year and she's here, love it. Love the yellow and the blue interior, my favorite colors. Love this color so much I almost got the Alma BB in this color as well.

I was trying to get a pic of the actual color but it's hard. it's definitely not that yellow like the middle picture.

Oh my gosh! I’ve been waiting for the alma bb in this color. Hoping to order it with my CA this weekend. I wasn’t sure what color the interior is, the website doesn’t show it. I hope it’s this same color. Congrats!

I purchased a PSM at end of May, exchanged and received my first exchange around a week.
I found the back are not sitting in the center, is this normal?
Does it worth another exchange? I can only exchange online, unless drive to the nearest mall.

How strange, from above I see what you mean, it looks not centered. But from straight on in the back, it looks centered. I counted the logos, it also looks like the handle is leaning a bit, but maybe with use it will straighten. It would be so nice wouldn’t it if our lovely bags arrived in perfect condition? Good luck with your decision.

Oh wow!
Such a beautiful and special bag in memory of your dear mother! It looks really pretty just sitting on the beautiful Steinway!

My Mom has been plunking away on her piano (now keyboard) forever. I say plunking because she it no professional, but she loves it. My grandmother played violin in the Boston Pops (definitely a pro). The music theme of the bag is very cool and unique. I love the photo on the piano!

So sorry you lost your Mom.

Thanks @DrTr I wish it was near perfect. I thought except the cuts, there is no other issue. now I could not ignore the alignment. And it is made in us, if it is made in europe, i would be more tolerant on the issues.. :facepalm:

Yikes, that cut alone would be enough for me to return it! It’s close to the zipper and canvas seemingly has a way of splitting sometimes, but it’s already pre-split!! I know it’s a hassle, but maybe third times a charm? Hope you get it resolved. :flowers:

In the PSM thread, they say the cut is for the canvas to fold which seems to make sense. Maybe I should exchange again as I am not happy with it for this price tag.

So glad your wait is over and you love it! It’s lovely, and I still so enjoy how luxury bags can look like so many different colors, same bag just in different lighting. Happy for you.

Thank you! I know I was trying to capture the actual color because it's beautiful.

It's a great, easy bag. I have it in black and I love how it fits enough but so light and hassle free. Enjoy!

Thank you! Yes it is, I've been eyeing this bag and was just waiting for the right color.

Went in to order it today and my amazing CA surprised me with it right in her hands!! I’m over the moon in love. It’s so hard to capture the color, you’re right. I also tried it with a silver chain strap and it looks great. She’s here with the Rosalie wallet I got back in January. Don’t mind my mess, I just got back from vacation lol. First two pics are in my window
