Keepall XS

[DrTr]

I may not have caught her insta stories regularly... hence, missing out on info here and there. Is it just the XS being discontinued or it’s sister size city keepall as well? I kept thinking I can hold off getting XS since it’s like a “permanent” piece. I don’t have any more place (excuses) to keep getting small bags in my collection. And, I’m not quite as sure about the XS compared to the city. If I’m tempted, it’s mainly due to fomo... honestly, I think the city suits me better than XS mainly due to its capacity. The city fills a gap in my collection, while XS is in competition with my MPA or Diane, which ever the size capacity is closer to.

I haven’t heard the city is going. Doesn’t mean it isn’t - I’m not an insider, but only saw news re xs. I laughed at your “I don’t have any more place (excuses) to keep getting small bags in my collection.” I’m with you on that one! I don’t really have any more places or excuses for new bags of any size!! And I think the City bag is great - if it had handles I’d probably have one!!

Oh no I love the xs size it looks small but can hold quite a lot!! I wish I have the budget to get one with different print. I have the watercolor one and I love it!!

I have completed my “three pack” of my most loved keepall xs bags! I had the sunset, and mono eclipse reverse, and I finally found the one I loved but missed! Presenting the wonderful distorted damier/black leather. I love pop art and mid century modern design and architecture, this little bag from Virgil Abloh (may he rest in power and peace) is a mod stunner. I feel so lucky as the xs is being d/c. I’m at xs peace

(sorry for the dust - it’s not visible to the eye, and I wipe everything first but the iPhone camera shows every dit and dot!)

Congrats DrTr! This one is stunning and definitely very special indeed. I like the special touches on the bag too, and so happy for you to complete your trifecta! But…….. are you sure? It is being dc right?! All 3 items are special from Virgil, but the sunset is my favourite. That one is beauitful! Enjoy your new beauty and I hope you can take it with you on your next holiday!

Aaahhh… precisely, the city has no handles, it offers a different look from XS or speedy. It’s size is in between XS and speedy and with the no handles, you could pair it with a shorter strap, it look very different. Doesn’t it offers to fill a gap in your collection?

Thankfully for once it doesn’t have a place in my collection I’m trying be radically honest with myself about exactly what I like, will actually use, and won’t have a single regret about. Thankfully I’ve gotten better at that in the last year year! I like of LVoe many of LV’s pieces, but I don‘t prefer just as many if not more, thank goodness!! Have to show SOME restraint and with all of you lovely folks, as enabling central (ok, I do it too!!) it’s easy to get caught up in the fun.

True. Sometimes newer bags come out and I would feel it fits my needs better than a previous bag which I own. I feel torn and ultimately would choose to buy the newer bag at the end of the day. I used to hoard all my bags and recently have learnt to let go of the ones which I don’t love, don’t fit my collection or are the overlaps in my collection that I like least. I also would never buy light coloured bags myself even though they look pretty because I cannot manage them well and I would be very upset if I dirty them. But I love seeing so many TPFers here rocking them!

I know - the ultimate dilemma for many of us. I have let go of select bags finally (took a lot of mental effort!) so I could replace with more functional or just more lovely newer pieces. I do have a bit of a concern with my spring NF with white leather on one side - but I decided to do my one and only white! The great thing about it is the back is black so on darker clothes don’t worry about color transfer.

I love the clean look of Aerogram too! Hence my Aerogram phase on the weekend I've cooled off them for now but they are sleek!

I went and tried the blue and orange with my Yellow strap and mixing the different colours. What are your thoughts? I didn't try blue with orange or vice versa because I definitely wouldn't get both, but that'd be a fun combo, too.

There was no black in that store .
I think if I got the blue, I'd also use the strap with some other non LV bags for fun. Or I'd sell the strap . Fashionphile had a brand new blue bag without the strap.

I also like the Sling Bag in orange but again wouldn't wear it as much and I like the choice of hiding the logo.

Orange strap would be like fruit salad with my Yellow bag

Pics aren't great as I just wanted to try quickly and get on with my day, plus they were short staffed while Savoir Faire is on. But I hope the pics help.

Orange interior is as BRIGHT as the outer !! Linings are textile.

I loveeeee the way you mixed and matched!!! What beauties!!! These bags are small and supposed to be fun. The way you swapped the straps are perfect.

Lol you sound like me when I discovered them in November I couldn't believe they existed, they are awesome!

How did you discover them? Mine was on display in store

I actually don’t even remember how I discovered them!!! But yes, I can’t believe they existed either!! I’ve never seen them in person though - just one of those bags you know…love at first sight from pics

I think it will remain higher than retail; at least the eclipse and watercolor ink will, especially if it gets discontinued. The sunset seems more polarizing so I don’t know if it’ll remain above retail, or as much as the others. (It’s more expensive than watercolor for the most part on fashionphile though!)

what was the original retail price for watercolor canvas and watercolor ink? (In US or CDN) I’m curious now what the markup is on fashionphile.

Here are some listed. This is in Canadian dollars. Retail is $2580. If it is higher than retail I may buy two

ugh I agree. Every time I think I'm at bag peace something catches my eyes and I'm like I need it, two more bags and hopefully I will be done for a long while lol

Omg I COULDN'T AGREE MORE. Seriously…every single time

I have this feeling in Jan, I told my husband this is my last bag, no more bags. He is like "Really?" I said "Hard yes"
Since then, I got my dream vintage bag, and a fendi bag

Having the same issue. I said 3 bags ago I wasn't buying any more this year... Yet 3 bags later I now have a wish list of 6 (none of them LV though).. I want to be done but it's so hard.
