Hi fellow LV lovers.
I am new to LV (usually more drawn to YSL) and very happy to share my first purchase with you.
Yesterday I went to the store to check out the alma bb in epi leather. I really liked her online but wanted to try her on. Sadly she was too small for me. And especially being 177cm or 5'10" tall I didn't like the way she sat when worn crossbody. So I browsed around the store and found the neonoé in epi leather. It was basically love at first sight, but the problem with the crossbody strap remained. Luckily I had the nicest CA and she showed me the benefits of wearing the bag on the shoulder rather than crossbody with the strap adjusted.
Then she put on a bandeau and I was basically sold, but I hadn't planned on purchasing a bag that day, so I did need some time to think. I walked around the city I was at, but eventually came back to LV. My CA was busy and I laid my eyes on the empreinte version which I also liked. I compared the two options, because while I preferred the epi leather, I am usually a gold person.
But in the end paired with the most beautiful bandeau I picked my first favorite and took her home.
I really look forward to taking her out, she's the perfect size, I love how understated she is, suitable for both casual and more formal occasions.
Here she is with my other 'hobbies' in the background: plants and books
