I have several nice bag organizers in various sizes from pursebling.com, and a few felt organizers from The Original Club (I think that’s the name) on Etsy.
My SA told me that there is a special customizing service where you can get an individual bag ..for example you can say yo want the speedy b25 or b30 mono with black oder rose leather handles and details..you can choose new leather or past leather Types on the leather bags and the interior as well and you can get also bags which are no longer in their store...of course you need to pay about 30% more or evem more depending on what you want..I haven't talked to her in detail what exactly you can take and to which end you can customize it but if you are interested ask your SAs ..it's something new and maybe nlt everybody is aware of it
Browsing through the website and omg, this is gorgeous!
My SA in Rome is amazing! While I was buying my last bag (Lymington DA) I had the temerity to ask for a little dust bag with strings to store the strap that comes with the bag.
Here is the result..... 5 big dust bags, a small one with strings and two perfume samples[emoji12]

Do you think it is "necessary" to buy designer shoes like LV, Chanel, Valentino etc. when you wear a LV/Chanel bag? My SA is already trying to convince me to buy also LV shoes not only handbags but my love is set on handbags haha.. I still love shoes but I don´t buy designer shoes.. I buy shoes from normal brands or without a brand on it.... I mostly wear flat shoes and that´s why I think why should I buy designer heels.. On the other hand I could of course buy flats but when I´m using flats so often they could really quickly become wear and tear..Am I the only one who thinks like that?
Do you think it is a "MUST"?
I just can´t convince myself to buy any high priced designer shoes as they are touching the floor and I´m super clumsy with shoes.. haha the other thing is of course that I don´t know if I really want to keep some of the shoes when they look not so nice anymore.... I´m changing my shoes every 2-3 years depending on the overall status of the shoes.. I also heared that some popular designer shoes are not really that comfortable or can get quickly wear and tear and I would never buy designer shoes just because they look beautiful but they hurt after 2 -5 hours... I need shoes which I can wear to almost every occasions.. for shopping to work and in the evening and they shouldn´t hurt at all because my shoes also doesn´t hurt.
Do most of the LV bag caring people wear designer shoes? Would you consider designer shoes in terms of quality like normal leather shoes or are they im some way special?
What are your opinions on this topic? How long do designer shoes, which are often used, hold up?

Shoes have been renamed puppy chew toys in my house, so I tend to go for cheap shoes. Occasionally, I’ll splurge if I really like a design, but not often.
I usually just wear a pair of sneakers (mostly Nike) when I go out running erands or really any activity that requires me to walk for longer distances.
I own two pairs of Stuart Weitzman boots and they look like new after 2 years of use, I also like to wear Tod’s loafers which hold up well if you get the ones that have a solid sole instead of the seperate rubber ‘bubbles’ (I really don’t know the word for this in English). I recently bought two pairs of black Prada pumps in a local outlet (I’m not paying full price for a shoe I will rarely wear and I’m usually lucky with my shoe size) they do feel nicer compared other pairs I have but I would not pay retail for them.
Shoes are definetly not a must for me as 70% of the time I wear sneakers
. I just prefer to spend my money on bags as my love goes to them and I can take better care of something that I’m holding in my hand compared to something I wear on my feet.I usually just wear a pair of sneakers (mostly Nike) when I go out running erands or really any activity that requires me to walk for longer distances.

Thank you both your for answers
It feels good to not be "alone" with this opinion I would also rather buy designer shoes like prada from the outlet or half price before I pay the retail price if I consider buying designer shoes.. I can also take better care of my bags than shoes and there are more nicer shoes out there than nicer bags in my opinion.. I can find a lot of nice shoes which are not that expensive compared to nice bags which hold up well. 
Hey bag lovers,
I have a "first world problem" and would need your comments/advises?
Last week I bought the Chanel WOC and love it. I do not understand why I did not buy this bag long time ago. Now I have too many small (or crossbody) bags (WOC Fendi, Favorite LV, 2 PMs LV, 1 Twin bag LV, 1 Diorama DIOR). I am thinking to sell 1 or 2 of them. The Fendi WOC is definitiv one for selling (saw a "acquaintance" that I do not really like has the same bag) But for the second one I am between the LV Favorite and the LV Twin bag. Both have been discountined (so far I know, please correct me if I am wrong) that means they are difficult to get and they are the only discountined bags in my collection and I really love them. But i feel like once I started using my Chanel Jumbo and WOC both bags will be just sitting in my cabinet. And since I am not a Millionaire and dont have a money tree, I donot want them just sit there!!! My hubby said I should keep them so I wont be regret and just stop buying new small/crossbody bags 
easier said
So WHAT do you think???

I would sell all 3 bags haha just because the jumbo the woc, the diorama and 2 PM are enough
I would use the chanel bags and the diorama bag the most that´s why I think it would be the best to sell all 3 bags haha I haven´t regret selling my favorite mm... it was a good decision as it already started to get this well known defect and I think many favorites will get this sooner or later.. The twin bag is similiar to the PM so that´s why I should sell this anyway.. the favorite will be sold really quickly as the demand is high on this bag..I think the chanel bags and the diorama beats the favorite and you will use your other newer bags more than the "older" one... That´s why I sold my favorite.. the jumbo just won against this bag
Since they are discontinued bags, there's no rush to sell them - wait a month or two and decide. I think that if you genuinely love crossbody bags, you may still use them. I love tote style bags, so I'm ok with having more of that style than say, clutches or crossbodyies because they are more likely to sit in my closet!
No. Where I live there is a ton of LV. I also see Chanel cross bodies at the mall. All worn with nice casual clothes and regular shoes like flats or sneakers. I live in a big city and designer bags are pretty common but head to toe obvious designer labels is less so.
Depends on your budget, I did buy some designer shoes, while they do look awesome, and make me feel good, but they don't hold value like bags (like most of the designer bags), so it's really up to you, each pair of these shoes from $600 to $1,200, I'd say, be very selective if you chose to buy designer shoes, make sure you can get a lot of wear out of them and easy to match your outfits.
On the other hand, while I buy lots of less expensive shoes, I no longer buy cheaply manmade material shoes (unless material like Nike or Ecco these kinda of breathable manmade material, you get what I'm saying) because they make my feet uncomfortable,
I could not use the Chanel WOC, since it couldn't hold my phone and car key at the same time so I sold it even I really like the look of it, glad you love it! I wish they made tiny little bigger! ha ha.Hey bag lovers,

Are you planing on wearing your Chanel all the time? in my understanding, the leather on Chanel can show wear quite quickly VS LV's bags especially on crossbody bags.
If it's me, I would keep one or two LV crossbody bags, they are not as expensive as Chanel and holds value just as good or even better and can give your chanel a little rest so don't show wear too quickly.
