Sorry if this is a silly question and the answer may be very obvious. But not to me lol.
I looked at the LV website and don’t know which bags are the permanent ones that keep getting restocked, and how to tell which ones will not be restocked? We are in lockdown at the moment in Melbourne. So I can’t go to the LV store. It’s online for me

I would consider waiting until you can go in the boutique. If you buy and return too many times, you can be banned from shopping at LV. Someone else can chime in, but I think it's 3 items in a year? I don't remember the exact details, but buying that expensive of a bag and not knowing a lot about the brand is a big risk, in my opinion.

Anything in plain in monogram is likely to be restocked. Things that are very colorful are likely to be seasonal. If you have your eye on something, you can always call customer service to be sure if you want to keep waiting for it, or move onto a different style bag.

The Felicie is a very small bag, more like a Wallet on Chain (WOC) style bag. You would get more into a Pochette Accessories, but you'd have to add a strap. If you like the way the Alma BB looks, that might be a better choice. I had and sold that bag, and prefer the Pochette Metis, but I'd say the Alma is closer to what you might be looking for.
 
Hopefully you can go to the store and try on multiple options. I find myself wanting a certain bag and then when I try it on, I don't like it. I've made purchases that I completely didn't expect, just by trying on things I didn't expect to love. Good luck!
Happened to me as well. Went to buy the pochete metis. It looked so good on everyone else but not me, lol. I ended up getting the Croisette.

If you're petite you may like the Neverful PM! The strap drop is fairly short but I don't find an issue with it.

Its roomy but still small enough to use as a purse. Its a good option unless your strictly wanting a crossbody.
 
If you’re looking for a small crossbody, but not tiny then I wouldn’t get the Felicie. It’s definitely a tiny bag. I would look into the alma bb. It’s classic and is very versatile. The croisette, saintonge, double zip pochette, or even the pochette accessoires with a crossbody strap would be worth looking into.
