So I'm an LV newbie - in the last month, I've bought a pre-loved mono speedy 30, a new mono key pouch, and a pre-loved mono Emilie wallet (red accents). I love the speedy and plan to use it for the first time tomorrow. I wasn't happy with the condition of the Emilie, so am returning it. I was thinking for the cost of what I spent on the Emilie, plus the new key pouch, I could buy a new wallet. Since I haven't started using the key pouch, I think I will return it and exchange it for a wallet. I can't keep the key pouch AND buy a new wallet though. And if I'm being honest with myself, I know I'm super picky and buying pre-loved items is a risky game for me.
I'm thinking Josephine or Emilie. But I want the Josephine in the red, which is sold out. I found ONE last red one (it really is the last one showing in inventory!) and they are sending it to my local store. When it comes in, I thought I'd return the key pouch and get the wallet. I could use the extra Josephine coin pouch to store the stuff I'd planned to store in the key pouch.
My question is - should I get the red Josephine or the fuchsia Emilie? I've read the threads on Josephine vs Emilie, but still can't decide. Is the red Josephine likely to have issues with peeling, etc? If the red is likely to have quality issues, I could go with either the fuchsia Emilie or the fuchsia Josephine.
Thoughts or suggestions are very welcome!
