Hi everyone,

I just made my first LV purchase..but im having second thoughts. I bought the Mono papillon but i was thinking whether i should have gotten a red or black epi alma.

I want to use the purse to go out everyday, but at the same time go to work (i see clients a lot). Just want an opinion on which bags are great for everyday carrying..but i also dont want a bag that everyone has (ie. i stayed away from the speedy)..

THanks!

I think a red epi Alma would be gorgeous..or if you like the style of the pap, why not get the epi soufflot?
Here's the soufflot:

mmmmm I am not a papillon person, I like bigger bags but It is a lovely bag. Choice really depends on whether you want the mono canvas or the Epi leather. I have the Epi Alma in black a very very classy bag for any occasion, & it will hold more than the papillon. If you want mono then the Cabas Piano or Mezzo (largest) are great bags. or even the Alma in mono?

I'm not a papillon person either so I would go with an alma. I'm not sure your age but it's funny bec. those two bags imho are in my mind for a particualr age set. I feel like an alma is more suited to a mature(50's and up) woman and a papillon more suited to a woman in her teens/twenties. I am planning on switching to an alma from my speedies when I hit 50, lol.

If you need a bag to see clients with then I'd go with the Alma, the papillon is not a 'work' bag IMO. For an every day bag, the papillon is definitely a better choice. I have the Alma and I'm finding it hard to use as an every day bag, actually, I don't think it's that practical for casual or for work.

Wow you guys are fast! Thanks for all the input! keep them coming!

I tried the soufflot..and it didnt really match me for some reason (had a couple of friend with me and they didnt like it).

The other bag i was looking at was the vertical lockit...but from everyone's input it looks like im probably going to return the papillon and get the alma.

Speedydelivery - I'm going to be mid-20s soon..but i agree papillon seems more of a younger style..but i'm hoping to get a bag that will grow with me!
