Outdated is a subjective concept. If it fits your style and the bag is in good condition, then why not? The Spring Street seems to be close to current popular models.
It’s REDICULOUS how fast items sell out in LV.com Today I checked for the Mini Pochette and to my surprise ALL of patterns were available so I quickly ordered the DE. I checked back an hour later and only the Mono is showing as available. Holy geeeeez I have to stalk the website to get what I need.
What are everyone’s thoughts on an Alma PM mono? I found a great vintage one in vv good condition for approx US$300, which I think is a great price already (?) but I’m not too sure how to style it. Or should I just wait to get an Alma BB or Speedy 25B Mono? I currently have a Speedy 30B DE, Neverfull MM DA, vintage Petit Noe in Kenyan Fawn and vintage Bi-Faced Sac in noir epi.
I tried it with a dress but I’m not too sure about it. Anyone w pics with it on how you pair it? Always see OOTDs with jeans.

I have a question about lv suhali leather (goat leather) I just purchased my first (second hand) suhali l'aimable and it smells so strong (almost synthetic). Is this normal for suhali? There are no red flags with the bag that I can see but the smell is making me really question it :O
You should definitely get the bag authenticated for peace of mind. Suhali was LV’s top quality line in the 2000s and it was highly counterfeited.
But since these are older styles that have long been discontinued, it is possible that the previous owner or owners used a cleaning product on the bag that left a smell. Who knows what has happened to this bag? Or maybe the smell you are describing is just the natural smell of the leather. Let the bag air out for a few days and see if it helps.

Thanks, I'm thinking it could be mothballs but as I've never used them I'm going to have to go and sniff some to see if its the same smell - wow its strong! I do have that niggling feeling though so I will take your advice and go for the auth!
Not sure if this is the right place, but I’ve tried on all 3 of three bags and I still can’t decide which bag to get. I currently have a turenne pm and the favorite mm in mono. I have 2 kids (almost 5 and 1 1/2). I’m still not away from my diaper bag 100%, but am looking forward to the day I am. I haven’t really carried a bag in 5 years. I know I don’t usually carry much. Does one style look better to you on me than another? I should have taken off my big coats on both trips to the store. Ha. Thanks in advance.

Agree. I have to say based upon pics the reverse pm wins.
No question the reverse pm suits you best. It is a perfect crossbody and the shape is very flattering on you.
Why is it that client services always tell you something different than the last one? I just called for an item, she told me it won't be available for several weeks...of course I didn't believe her and kept hitting refresh on the site and was able to order it! [emoji1]
Hello guys! I just wanted to get your opinion on the LV round coin purse I just purchased from their website based on these photos. The piping area shows the stitching on one side. Is this normal? I hate returning things, but it scares me that it looks like the stitching could be stretching at the canvas. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this on there pieces?
