LV Biker Bag

[sf_newyorker]

Oh congratulations to that fabulous bag! 🎊 You did get it!
That bag also grows on me because the leather looks so lucious. I have to check that one in store for the sizing.


A side by side comparison would be so cool if you have time for that!
It is great to hear that it fits quite a lot even in the PM size!


It looks good on you! I thought the PM size would be much smaller.
So there is hope that MM might be big enough for my liking. ☺️ Did you try the MM in store and if yes how did you like it on your size (I am a similar size as you)?

Thank you! I saw the MM in passing but it would have been too big for daily use so I didn’t ask to try.

The PM is pretty solid (I joked that the PM can be used as a weapon to stun, if needed, if swung/aimed properly). I’d carry it crossbody mostly and suspect the PM would still bump into people on a crowded train. The zip closure is quite secure and not too smooth so one would feel someone trying to tug open the bag.

And the assessment made by @Jumper is accurate in terms of size/capacity. Another forum member also mentioned its similarity to the moderate sized keepall 25. The PM biker, when cinched, does feel and function like a sturdy version of the keepall.

It’s still high on my list to buy - my CA warned there were only 8 in stock at 57th 😉. But, I’m taking my chances and really taking the time to weigh pros/cons!

I picked the Boulogne and speedy 25 to compare side by side profile and also how much is filled with some basic stuff.


Speedy 25 and biker PM top view: biker is slightly longer length-wise.


Front view - speedy 25 is taller by quite a bit.


Front view of biker and Boulogne is hiding behind with only the ends sticking out. Speedy obviously has the biggest volume.


Top view of Boulogne and biker. Profile-wise, Boulogne is the slimmest, followed by biker, then speedy. Biker is longest length-wise among the 3.


The base of the 3 bags.


These are the stuff I’m gonna fill into each of the bag - wallet, AirPods, key pouch, Noah key holder, mentos mint, Chanel lipstick, tambutin perfume balm, Chanel hand cream, tirtir cushion foundation, and finally, aerolite umbrella (20cm long).


Plenty of space left after dropping all of the above in the biker. I probably used about 40% of its volume only.


The same things probably occupied about 65% of the volume of Boulogne.


Lastly, the same items probably only occupied 15% of the volume of speedy 25.


One thing I dislike about the biker, is the zipper opening is like super tight and hard to open up.

It can be good if you leave it open and things wouldn’t drop easier nor would someone be able to dip their hands in without hurting themselves without you knowing kind of tight.

My chunky chain finally arrived (this has been harder to get than Murakami I swear)

I love it on the bag! It’s a great funky semi obnoxious fit for a pretty understated bag.

Which do you prefer? The bi-color or black? I feel like the bi-color you have to match your outfit more (like what I’m wearing here doesn’t quite match) but is stunning in pics. The black is biker chic and carefree.

I prefer the black. You wouldn’t have to worry about color transfer and it matches everything like you said. I dress my black one up with bag charms to keep it interesting! Highly recommend.

Black. The other is pretty but you can never go wrong with a classic black bag.

I was looking at the Ruthenium version of this chain... after seeing your photo and its proportions, I knew it was time to order. Thanks so much for showing it off!

The ruthenium looks sooooo good as well! I actually saw it first on a black Biker and was smitten.

For those of you with the Biker, how are you liking it after having it for a while?

This bag has been on my radar since release and looks like some new colorways are coming. Curious about ease of use and whether y’all think it might look dated in a couple of years.
