I've come to the conclusion that I've been priced out of LV for good - so for a new casual crossbody, I looked at Longchamp.
I have a Speedy B 30, but truth be told the older I get, the lighter I travel and now I find my few meagre bits rattle around in it somewhat. (Although in comparison it's more the height and depth that make it bigger than this as you can see. I wonder if it'd be comparable to the 25?)
So basically I needed a "phone, wallet, keys and lip balm" bag, and I didn't want to spend €1000 on one.
So here it is! It's billed as "terracotta" but it looks orange on the website. I thought it'd be a fun pop of colour. It is NOT orange! It is a true browny brick like houses are made of here. I don't mind it, but I was a bit suprised on arrival. But hey, it's a neutral, right??
For reference, I'm a sturdy 5'7". M-L in clothes. This is on the second smallest hole out of 4, so I think it may be too long for petites without punching an additional hole. Taller ladies need not worry though.
It feels very similar to the Epi line in LV in texture. I think it'd be good in the rain which is helpful as I live in a wet climate. It's also surprisingly deep and has good bottom width. I'm excited to see how much it fits. If it ends up being a real little magic bag in terms of capacity, then I'll definitely get more colours next year!
