Hi beautiful ladies, I am starting to research my next LV purchase and I am torn among these bags. I love the pink mono neonoe but I read about some of the glazing issues. I also like the montaigne and I wanted in pink but super scared that it will look terrible in a few years. Adding Blanche as well. Here’s some pics. What you all think? I am planning to buy around Xmas.

montaigne bb in pink! i think the proportions look just right compared to the mm which looks boxier. you have to consider the weight though.
i prefer the look of pink empreinte to mono in montaigne. personal taste..

i have a pink empreinte zoe which i used for one year straight, it still looks perfect. so i think it will wear well.
pink mono neo noe sticks out from the body too much..

I'd say it depends on what lv bags you currently own and what you want from your next bag.

I bought neonoe in pink last year and no glazing issues so far. From what I've seen, all styles have some kind of glazing issue that is highly dependent on when it was made. On the montaigne clubhouse, there's chatter there about all empreinte montaigne sizes having glazing issues.

Of all the bags you mentioned though, I would get canvas montaigne. I live in a place with four seasons and I learned the hard way that I value bags that work for all seasons. I still have my pink mono neonoe, but I don't like how it pairs with my dark winter coats. I would never buy an all-pink bag because of that.

If I lived somewhere with no seasons, I would be happy with just the pink mono neonoe. I like blanche bb but my favorite mm is roughly the same size. I know that favorite mm is too small for me now, so blanche bb would also be too small. I'm not a fan of the exposed zipper on empreinte montaigne. Exposed zippers and/or zipper detailing is a fad. It's going to look dated in a few years imo.

Thank you for your thorough feedback !! I do have the favorite mm in mono, two neverfulls, felicie in empreinte, speedy 30 and PM in empreinte ( no glazing issues). Yeah, the blanche might be out. I live in CA but probably moving to a place where I might have snow. The mono montaigne seems to be the best option.
 
I was planning that my next LV bag would be the Sac Blanche, but in MM, not BB, and in black. I don't like the gold chain on the BB strap, looks a little cheap (or gaudy) to me. I think the larger size is more useful and the longer strap is detachable. But it looks like it's on the verge of being discontinued, which is something that has just happened...even last week it was still available to order online. So I might miss my window of opportunity, which is sad but ok; much as I like the bag and would enjoy carrying it, I'm not desperate to get one... https://eu.louisvuitton.com/eng-e1/products/blanche-mm-monogram-empreinte-nvprod900046v#M43616

Hello, I was wondering could anyone here advise me! I’ve asked in another thread as well! I’m about to buy my second Louis Vuitton bag, I have a Pochette Metis in black empreinte and love it but want something a bit bigger and more open for daily wear! I’m torn between the Montaigne mm empreinte and the Neo Noe in empreinte! I love the look of both, but have questions about them too!
Noe:
Love the casual look, but does it stick out too much at the side? Would I be babying the corners? Also does the base sag after a while?
Montaigne:
It’s considerably more expensive, I could buy the Noe and a preloved piece instead? (Currently eyeing a 2012 terre empreinte bandouliere with no issues, I’d be paying 900 so just a little bit more than the difference)
I’d want to use my PM strap to make it crossbody

I’m so torn! Someone please help the most indecisive person in the world!
