Thanks for the compliments on my picture taking skills. I usually pay attention to the lightning conditions, the angle and try to pay attention to detail... a steady hand and the camera's macro feature help, too.
I do wish you all could watch Vlad take pictures- he concentrates so hard that he sticks his tongue out every time he takes a picture. He does the same thing when coding something difficult or works out an insanely hard problem
I will post a pic of me carrying it... once I have one I like!!! Vlad better use as good of skills to take a pic of me as he does when he took pics of the bag!!!!!
OH YEAH.!!!..I noticed that right away in your pictures. I buy all my LV from THe LV store in King of Prussia, PA and never had the plastic on the handles. I never ordered from ELUX...it looks like they package it that way. It looks like its always different...when I got my speedy mono 25 it was folded flat and it took a long time for the creased to come out. But when I got the Damier Speedy 30 at the store, it came in a box with a cardboard cutout in it and no creases at all. congrats on the purchase and you will love the worry free damier. I love mine. Its nice to have a bag to wear when the weather is rainy. Your pictures are really good too.
