The Buci bag has arrived, but I think I will return it. I absolutely love the shape, but I‘m not convinced about the colour, and the flap is tilted to one side, which bothers me. I saw a video on YouTube, and she also returned hers for the same reason and someone in the comments section had the same issue. So I think I‘ll not exchange for a new one to not have to return it as well. Also I’m afraid this will show wear and tear extremely soon, as so many parts are not Epi leather, including the bottom, which also has no feet. But it is a beautiful bag :love:

I received my first Diane on the first day of Jan, but I wasn’t certain if it’s love because of the OCD in me and my pickiness. Imagine my joy when my SA texted to inform me that she had set aside a replacement Diane and today, I am soooo happy to be sharing my replacement piece, which I am 101% keeping!

I love this bag, and how it’s so versatile with the two straps, allowing me to switch between casual and proper. Thanks for allowing me to share my joy! It’s indeed been a joyful Jan 2022 for me thus far, having added three lovelies to my little LV collection. On ban island for a while… till the next launch!:P

I tried on the gold coloured one at the boutique last week - and decided against it because of the exact same tilt!! Otherwise I do like the size and style, but it seems LV has an issue here...

Huge congrats!! The Diane isn't out here, but I made my SA promise to send pictures as soon as she's got hold of one. I've been missing nice monogram bags in LVs collection as of lately, and this one seems perfect .

Does the webbed strap work crossbody for you??

Thank you! I’m so torn on this one, because I love the shape so much and LV does not bring out much in this shape. I‘d really like to try and order another one to see if that’s better, but what if not? At LV they claimed they couldn’t see anything wrong with the bag and are already fussing because I want to return it.

Thank you! The webbed strap works well for me, sits just nicely at mid waist. I am only 5ft 3 though, so it might be abit short for taller ladies. I am a huge fan of the monogram, so this was love at first sight for me!

They shouldn't, because it's quite obvious, and your photo catches it well! The right bag side of the flap has a significantly larger distance to the corner than the left side, what's there to fuss about??
I once had 2 deliveries of a bag (actually the Pallas BB) in a row with grave quality issues, very annoying. Would probably be better to ask your SA to ship from the boutique and thoroughly check the bag first.
Good luck!

Darn, it will be quite short for my 5'10 then... Well, we'll see. Anyway, I have no shortage of straps to use the bag with...
Thanks

Thank you, I really hope I can get this bag in a better shape.

I have such a Jacquard strap from my Twist and even though I‘m tallish it works very well for me because I like wearing my bags a bit higher and I have no curves :shocked: :smile: You‘ll have to try it on. But the Diane is a gorgeous bag!

This bag is super cute! Does it have a back pocket?
The leather looks like aged vachetta, is it?
