Last year when the Cerises line came out everyone hated them for the first two months. They said ' who ever said brown and red go good together", and "why would anyone want fruit on their handbag". As far as the perforated bags, I bought one. I'll use it for a while, if I decide it doesn't work out or I get tired of the style, I know I can get most of my money back reselling, just because it's an LV. What I'm curious about is how they will look over time. I think the bright light leather is too loud on some LV styles and they look better when the leather has darkened a little. I think the Perfo Speedy will look better with darker leather because they already have enough detail going on without that bright white leather trim. Time will tell.
