Just got Vanity PM this afternoon

[karman]

Bought two 8cm chain extenders from a local Etsy seller to make the bag wearable cross body. I like the option of crossbody since shoulder bags just are a bit finicky!

The shop is NextFashionShop - I’m based in Canada. If you’re in US Mautto is probably a good choice but they’re kinda pricey and shipping to Canada is a little ridiculous.

They’re hard to find but not impossible. You can stalk the website, there seems to be at least once per day where a couple get stocked. You can also call client services to see if it can be ordered or contact a CA if you have one and the store is open for curbside pickup.

Looks great on you crossbody! I too bought extenders on etsy for my vanity pm. Being able to wear my mini bags crossbody is a must for me! p.s. I love all your mini bags! I've never seen the Dora or Square bags before! Beautiful!

I just got my vanity but the strap was shorter than I expected. Does anyone or can someone please provide me the length of the strap to make sure I didn’t get a defected one? I looked up on lv and it says 22.1 inches however when I compared to my Palm spring mini (22 inches) and my Felicia (21.8 inches) the vanity pm strap is shorter to both. Greatly appreciate the help

It’s definitely a copy paste error on LV’s part. The strap drop is 22” when I add two 8 cm chain extenders to either end. Strap is closer to 19” drop/38” length.

The drop is around 22" if you measure it from the highest point of the chain/strap to the end of the lobster hooks. However, since the hooks hook onto the side of the bag (1-2 inches lower than the top of the bag), that is where you loose the inches. Like Karmen, I've had to buy chain extenders so I can wear cross body

I didn’t want to start a new Vanity PM thread so I thought I’d just resurrect this one with my photos.

first, I want to address the top sag when holding by the top handle - it’s noticeable, but not as bad IRL as I thought. I think it helps that on my bag, the black piping remains straight and flat and doesn’t sag, so it looks better. The bag is really nice when worn by the strap, so even though I’d really wanted to use this as a top handle bag from time to time, realistically I think it’ll be worn on the shoulder most of the time.

I was worried about the handle stretching the top canvas over time. I think it could still happen if the bag is loaded heavily and carried by top handle but there is actually a thicker piece of leather inside reinforcing the handle.

I actually bought a Samorga organizer before I had the bag in my possession. It’s a pretty good fit but I’d like to have the organizer push out the sides a little more.

without an organizer I can fit my mini Pochette inside, along with a Vernis Pochette cles, Zoe wallet, phone, gum, odd tubes of stuff, work ID, mirror and sunglasses on top of everything. The bag feels really dense when packed like this though and isn’t comfortable to carry.

with the organizer I have to take out the mini Pochette. This works better because there’s a bit extra room for some other thing (small Kirigami maybe?) and the bag feels more reasonable weight wise.

The chain is beautiful but too short for crossbody for me. If absolutely necessary it’s doable but looks ridiculous. It’s not very comfy crossbody, the strap digs in a bit and I would prefer to wear on the shoulder. It sits very nicely without sliding off (common problem for me with shoulder bags)

Congrats, Karman! Thanks for sharing all the beautiful photos and detailed info

Can you share how or where you were able to get a hold the this little beauty? Seems to be unavailable online in the States. Thanks.

Yes, thanks for the correction! I was lazy last night and didn’t bother taking it out to measure so what I said in my last post isn’t correct.

The strap is indeed 42” (drop 21”) but because of where the bag attaches the drop is realistically 19” and not 22”. LV’s description is definitely still misleading though!

Not the best photo but the measuring tape touches the top of the bag when I pull it down.
