The top handle limited edition last year had a flaw. Its on a few YouTube reviews. The handle would flop down and when resting on the smooth leather cause an indent to happen. The locky bb has a very light handle. It won't happen. I saw it in person. However, even the display had scuffs. The leather is prone to it. Also the corners of the canvas had peeling on the one I saw [emoji87] Check carefully

Thanks for your opinion. I ordered the mono with red but I called to cancel the order after reading all reviews/feedbacks in the forum like it is small purse, corners will wear and tear. I only have a full size wallet and don't have a small wallet to use with it so I decided to pass.

Honestly, i think its the front lock that throws the bag into looking a bit disproportionate. It's the first thing you see when you look at the bag. If you can get past that it's alright more on the trendy side than classic looking because of the biggish padlock. It's one of those that will grow on you looks wise but for me it's not a instant I love it like the "one handle" I think in time the leather pull beneath the padlock will curl upwards with use. The bag is small can't fit much in. You might get a mini pochette and 6 key ring holder and not much room after that. Need a very slim compact wallet to squeeze in if use those 2 items. It will be fine for going out with small compact wallet, have a few loose makeup items and keys . I do like the epi versions more than the bi/mono ones.
In comparison I much prefer aesthetically and the more space and function of my "one handle" has to offer. I didn't get the dent that posters have talked about from the handles laying on the flap because the luggage tag on the front acted as a buffer so that the handles would rest on that, so protected it from touching the flap itself.
Overall the locky bb it's a nice looking bag its different but its has lost a few great features from the original version eg, tuck lock mechanism, proper dedicated strap hooks that can fold in. Im not sure if the locky has feet like the "one handle "
But still the locky bb has that nod to the LV trunks that I like. But for me if they didn't use the big padlock on the front. I would like it a lot more. It would make a great little small bag for going out.

Thank you for your most excellent review! As you know I missed out on the One Handle and had high hopes when I read there was going to be a remodelled version... But I agree with you, I am not a fan of the large lock and from pics so far it looks like a magnetic closure, I much prefer the tuck lock and I loved that little fold out ring for strap it was such a well designed and unique feature. I hope to see the Locky BB irl but so far I am not "loving it". Thanks again for your detailed review! :flowers:

I took a quick shot of 2 mono bags. Had a play round with them aswell. The bag is small. It's very cute. The blue one was nicer in real life than in photos. The magnet closure is very strong indeed. But I can see the padlock will get quite scratched up in time and may be a lot noticeable because of the size.Screenshot_20190114-101553_Gallery.jpg
