Blanche bb owners, are you still happy with your bag? What occasions have you used it for?
Yep I still love using mine. I bought it just for use for nights out for dinner & theatre because it looks elegant enough for those occasions and can tuck it neatly away easily behind any space left behind back or the side of chair when I'm sat down . I dont like putting bags on the floor or hanging back of chair on these occasions. So prefer small neat compact bags.
I've not used it for casual days out yet because rainy season means I need to take a brolly bag, is too small for that.
So far I find the bag easy to use. Very sturdy keeps it's shape also it's very well made so far nothing bad to report.
Thank you for your brilliant review. I like my Ponthieu pm for when I carry more, but want something I can use the same way as you. Bigger than a WOC but compact enough that i can keep on my chair or lap on a night out.
I actually find it surprising how much fits in the Blanche BB. I purchase and returned the Felicie because it just didn’t fit my essentials. And I mean bare essentials. The Blanche can fit those and then some! But it’s still nice and streamlined and fits perfectly against the body.
Went to Bond Street boutique to look at this bag yesterday. It’s such a gorgeous and elegant bag. They don’t have the black in stock but I tried the navy one just for the sizing. I’m 170cm btw. Very nice leather. Now I’m tossing between this one in black and CROISETTE in DE canvas. Croisette is lighter, roomier and more casual. It seems silly to ask which one is better here as this is the Blanche BB thread. Haha. But still love your opinions.They are both beautiful and both have pros and cons. The winner for me would be the Croisette as it sits longer on you and do not forget, has a strap that can be removed.
I’ve owned both. When I got the Blanche I sold the Croisette. I loved it while I had it, but the lock could be finicky (it’s a teeny really thin piece of metal to fit in a teeny tiny hole and the scratches are visible as the plate is on the outside)... plus the top handle stuck up further than I ever liked. The Blanche handle is much shorter. The removable strap on the Croisette is nice, but I would never use it without the strap anyway. And I feel like the empreinte is more subtle of an LV print and can be dressed up or down, but isn’t too casual or too dressy. So the Blanche gets my vote
Good point that the Croisette did sit longer on me and looks better in that length. I didn’t look at the setting of both straps. Silly me....
Personally I prefer the subtle leather on Blanche too, it’s less obvious LV print than DE. I will only use it as a crossbody, so without the removable strap is not an issue to me neither. Since you used to own both, could you please give me some advise regarding the volume and the weight of two bags? Does Croisette hold much more items than Blanche BB? Does Blanche BB felt much heavier than Croisette as a result of the partial chain and full leather?I’ve owned both. When I got the Blanche I sold the Croisette.

This is my first bag and honestly I love it so much, it’s so roomy for a mini bag compare to the Chanel mini (my first choice). I got the black one and I don’t carry a lot so i can wear it for both day to night, whenever I want. I did wear it with dress and heels on shoulder, it looks very fancy. Also, I wear it with jeans on the weekend for shopping and it looks fine too. At first, I kinda sad because the strap is not removable, but it is adjustable though.
The blue glazing is not really noticeable. I tried it on at the store and just ordered it online. At first, I ordered it in pink, when I picked up in the store, I've noticed the small spot of red color on the textile lining on the inside flap and underneath the handle but the SA thinks it gets from dye. She showed me another pink available in store but it has lightly dirt on the textile lining on the inside flap as well so I decided to get the Noir color instead.
Hi everyone, I’m new to this forum, but I’ve been browsing it for a while before choosing my LV bag. Got my Blanche bb today. Love the color and size on me, and the adjustable strap (unluckily it’s not removable). A little bit concerned about the single stitch on four sides of the top handle. Do you guys think it will tear the leather in a long run? Also the back side of the pattern aligning doesn’t seem perfect to me. Does it bother you or you all think that’s fine?
