New Louis Vuitton Crossbody Exclusively Online-Blanche BB

[PurseAddict728]

This is too small for me to work into my life, but I really love how it looks on you, @PurseAddict728! It's a pretty bag.

Thank you! Yes it is quite a bit smaller than I'm use to but at least it can fit more than my PA!

Here it is! I ordered by phone Friday night and am surprised it came so quickly. CS told me I wouldn't get it until after June 15th.

Sorry, I had to run to my son's piano lesson. Lol. I'm back now.
So the website is wrong. @LouisVuitton4Me and @Sunshine mama The strap is adjustable but not detachable. I called CS about this because there is no way this strap is coming off! She said they have to change the information on the website.

Pros of this bag:
I like the how unique the bag looks (was looking for something a little different than the PM in Empreinte).
Made in France!!
Embossing and hardware look perfect on this bag. This bag in particular is very well made in my opinion.
Strap is adjustable (great for very tall individuals!) For reference, I'm 5'5" 114 lbs and I have it set to the third to last hole.
It does have the front slip pocket which fits my iPhone 6 perfectly. It does have 2 inside slip pockets.
Textile lined, which is nice (sometimes the microfiber attracts tons of dirt or dust)
Keeper doesn't fall down, as it does with my PM. It seems to be permanently attached actually.

Cons:
Even though it's small, it does fell heavier with my phone, mulitcartes, ZCP, key pouch and coin purse. (It was pretty full with these items. I would have to take out something to fit my sunglasses in.
No back pocket, which I've grown use to.
Capacity is a lot smaller than the PM. No separate compartments.
Strap is not detachable, was hoping it would be. And the partial chain does make it feel a little more formal.
Clasp can be a little bit hard to line up and you really have to push it down harder if the bag is emptier (just like the PM)

Hope this helps, this is what I can think of for now. It is a nice bag. If you have any more questions let me know. I will try to help answer anything. It is kind of fun to see these exclusive items! I hope everyone has the opportunity to purchase around the world too!

Thank you sooo much for this info!!! You answered so many questions I didn't even know I had, especially about how much it can fit.

Please do pros and cons on this bag. If you can. Looks so good on you. It's actually bigger than I had imagined which is a plus. Gorgeous bag!! I've got bag lust again.

You're welcome! I tend to overanalyze my bags! Lol. Since I couldn't try it on in the store.

I like purse over analyzers!

Another pro of this bag I forgot to mention is I love how the top handle doesn't get in the way. It's very similar to the PM. I don't like the top handles that flop around. But that's just personal preference.

Looks beautiful!! I ordered the marine rouge one as well! So excited!!

Thank you! I'm curious to see how it looks in Marine Rouge, you will have to post pics too!

I read an article saying that Gucci's online traffic was way ahead of any luxury brand. Maybe LV is trying to steer people to go online more with this kind of exclusive online method?

Well, it would help if they actually had things available for purchase online.

Thank you very much for your review this is so very helpful. I really do hope they release this bag in other countries. I've been after a empriente bag as my first LV all leather. This one would be great to start me off.
Can I ask is the lock on this bag easier to close than the S lock on the PM? Thanks in advance.

It can be a little tricky, I will try to post a picture. It is a bigger clasp, and I feel like you do have to use a little more force to push it into place. It's easier to close when the front pocket is full if that makes sense. But, I do like that it makes the bag feel very secure also.

This is how big the clasp is. It has the push lock on the end. It takes a couple of seconds to open or close but I don’t think it’s anything extremely unbearable. I always feel like the PM can be a little fussy with the s-lock too. It’s a quite substantial clasp also.

I forgot to show what items comfortably fit. I don’t like to over stuff my bags. My keys, phone and sunglasses would also be in the bag too. But I would have to put my sunglasses in the soft case to fit better. The mini Pochette also fits, but it takes up more room. So it’s more of the true essentials bag. I don’t carry the mini Pochette daily so for me it’s not a big deal. Just depends on how much you need to carry. This is my first all leather bag too so I wanted it to be something useful and a little bit different than the PM. HTH! Sorry for my long rant again. I feel like I get long winded on TPF!! [emoji23]At least everyone has the same obsession on here.
