I'm considering getting a Keepall. The only one I've ever had was the 45 Cerises one, but I sadly sold it long ago. I remember it not really holding as much as I needed when I had it, though. So if I get another one, I'd like to get a 50 or 55. Just curious as to your opinions on the difference in sizes. In price there's only a $25 difference, so that's not an issue. I would probably be using it for trips by car or plane for a week's duration. Also, I'm not sure I would like the shoulder strap. I'm only 5'2" and I feel like it would really weigh me down carrying it that way, so I'm thinking of getting the one without the shoulder strap.
I've noticed most everyone says they don't check their LV; they use it as a carry on. I'm not sure I would want to use it for that. Besides trying to navigate through a plane, I would probably have a hard time carrying it all through the airport to my gate and then into the overhead bin as I have a bad back. In other words, I like to dump the heavy stuff ASAP and then go on to my gate. But is it a really bad idea to check it? Also, I don't necessarily want my things to get beat up, but I'm not super picky about a scratch or two here and there.
I am in a dilemma as far as whether to get the Monogram or Damier Ebene. I have a DE Speedy that I love, but for some reason, I almost prefer the Monogram for the Keepalls. I did notice the Macassar Monogram, though, so that would do away with the light Vachetta, but is that strictly more a man's bag?
Any thoughts or advice are appreciated.
