Bjara said:I had a Saleya for a couple weeks, and ended up returning it. If you are getting it to go on the shoulder, you may prefer the Mezzo or the Chelsea instead. I found the rolled handles on the Saleya MM to be a little bulky, and the bottom of the bag to stick out too much right where it hit me on the hip/waist area. I really liked the Damier Chelsea when I saw it on LV.com...this was a month or so before it was under so much discussion here. I thought it looked great, and wondered why I had never heard of anyone talking about this style before.When I saw it in LV over the weekend, the only negative that I saw, for me, was the "lip" of canvas that comes up over the sides of the zipper. I'm not sure how over time this would wear, and whether or not it would get flimsy/floppy looking.
My vote is for the Mezzo.
I can't get the link to bring you directly to the picture, but if you go to LouisVuitton.com, there is a pic under the Damier Canvas of the Chelsea.
Yeah, the rolled handles on the Saleya are kind of bothering me too. I definitely want a shoulder bag. And I noticed that lip things that comes up over the zipper of the Chelsea too. It looks like it might poke your arm or something if you carried it the wrong way. I really like the Mezzo, but I hate the thoughts of waiting six months for a special order.
. Congrats on placing your order!

My SA is calling me back in 10 to start the process. I am nervous!
Yay! Mine will have a friend.
I was beginning to doubt my decision for the Mezzo, with all the Chelsea talk.
My SA told me that it can take anywhere from 2-6 months, with 4-5 being the average. But it's SO worth it, it's being made just for us!
I ordered mine just about a month ago, so I will keep you all posted!
I am well documented on this forum as LOVING my Chelsea. to address to concerns some folks have expressed: 1.) my Chelsea is many many years old -- I frankly don't even remember how old, but i think it's over 10 -- and that stiff "lip" is still very stiff and has held its shape extremely well. My whole bag looks brand new, actually. and 2.) the "lip" doesn't poke you at all when you're carrying it. it's a very comfortable bag.
