I was so excited for this release and was resolved on adding the PM size to my collection, but I’m glad I slept on it. I’m not buying at this time. I like the bag but don’t love it. For over $3,000 USD it needs to be true love. The look of the bag is gorgeous (in my humble opinion) but there are key things missing in terms of functionality.

Congratulations. I love it too. Is it mm. Mine will come tomorrow
It looks gorgeous @DesigningStyle! Congratulations! I have a love/hate relationship with LV. This bag is totally my style. Finally, just a simple beautiful shoulder/crossbody leather bag. Maybe some people think it's boring, but I think it looks nice. For the price though I agree, it has to be true love.
Hi Liz !!! Did you receive your Carryall ? I hope you will love it. Even if I kept the Speedy 20 black, better for me, I saw that lot of women are in love with the carryall. Please let me know and don’t forget to share pics
So I'm super picky with a bag purchase at this price point, so my perspective may differ from others. Here are my issues with the bag:
1. The microfiber lining looks gorgeous but makes the bag needlessly heavy, and the 2 I tried on in store already had a ton of lint inside. The name "Carryall" implies this should be an everyday bag, really wish it was more lightweight. This is my issue with the empreinte Neverfull as well.
2. While I appreciate the strap can be adjusted to shoulder or crossbody--the crossbody length is slightly too short for me, and that is how I would wear this bag a majority of the time.
3. I didn't like the way the bag folded in and creased when I put my things inside, when worn crossbody. It may not be an issue when worn on the shoulder.
4. Not so much a functionality issue but a quality issue--the 2 bags I tried on in store both had luggage tags with the gold LV super off-center. It just left a bad taste in my mouth to see such poor attention to detail, on something that is a central design feature of the bag.
Candace, not trying to make a Carryall believer out of you but I want to reply.
1. The microfiber lining does contribute to weight no doubt but what a wonderful luxurious feel when reaching in your bag! The PM weighs 1 lb 4 ounces and I don’t think that is heavy at all. The MM on the other hand I found inordinately heavy.
The name "Carryall" to me implied it could carry all… and for me the PM certainly carries my daily essentials. And the huge MM would certain carry all essentials and work stuff. The Neverfull MM in canvas could do the job lighter for sure.
2. Carrying crossbody works great on my 5’1” frame although I don’t see myself doing that very often. So if one wishes crossbody than another option might be a better choice.
3. I am not sure what folding in and creasing you experienced but I have not been able to recreate it.
4. Wow and I handled three Carryalls and all were flawless. I am surprised your boutique would have even had bags with such flaws on their sales floor.
Of course I have to leave you with another photo is my pretty! ❤️

I'm glad you liked it. Like Candace I did not have a crush but I have nothing to reproach him for. It's just that you can't love every bag you try on. And me that day I did not have the crush. I had already purchased another and was torn between the two. So I made my decision. But the Carryall is technically a perfect bag. Maybe too utilitarian for me. Anyway it is a very nice bag and I hope you will use it a lot. Congrats. We have the luck to discuss about luxury bags. That is a luck
Hi bb! It is scheduled for delivery tomorrow! I agree, the Speedy 20 black is an awesome choice as well. Sometimes it is so hard to decide - but I guess that is part of the fun?Hi Liz !!!

Glad you are loving it!! It is gorgeous. I'm a crossbody girl, so that's probaby coloring my perception. Enjoy your bags everyone!
