I so did not expect this to happen. I ordered the Sophia Coppola monogram bag, mostly because I have never ever had a Louis Vuitton bag on a whim bought a teeny little accessory on evilbay, and when it came I was loving it. I decided I HAD to try a bag even though I have been a hater in the past :shame:. I was thinking of some sort of a tote, until I came across the Sophia Copolla bag. Partly because I want to cross body (I need to buy a longer strap) and partly because there was NOTHING available online, I went for it. Since then I've been pretty much picturing myself returning it because the price seems so ridiculous since it seems like a glorified Speedy for double the price. So, I thought I would head to my local LV store and exchange it for a tote or speedy, maybe buy some small things. But it's awesome. Perfect. Great size, my laptop will fit right in, can be cross body with the longer strap, but oh the extra $, is it worth it????? My dh will not be pleased as I've been a little shopaholic lately, but heck I'm 41 now and I've been good until now so..........

So is there anything else I should try if I like this general size and the ability to cross body? Would I be happy with the Palermo? Also, I do not baby bags, so my only concern with the Palermo is that the pleat would get warped. I want to use a Louis Vuitton to its fullest until it is well loved and broken in, I don't want a fancy bag!
I also bought the Josephine Wallet with the green. It's beautiful, the green is much better IRL than in the pictures, it is fun but also elegant. The size is great, I will keep some lipstick in the little pouch and take it out of the wallet.

SDBagLover, I know it does seem perfect, but it also seems like they really raised the price over a Speedy for not too much reason, I mean maybe an extra $500, but this is more like an extra thousand +. I guess I am leaning towards keeping it because I am pretty varied in what I like, so I don't see myself with more than one or two of the classic monogram bags, so maybe it does make sense to have the perfect one. I do see lots of accessories in my future though, and maybe a leather Speedy.....
