I'm on the fence. I think the whole collection looks tacky and cheap, yet on the other hand it looks so carefree. The type of bags you just toss around and can wipe off with a damp cloth.
I actually really like this collection. lol. Wish the price tag wasn’t so high. Other than a speedy owner here. Anyone else get anything they can share?
Have tried putting more in? Does the crossbody strap “thin out” like when u carry a backpack the straps become less puffy sometimes? How u liking it so far? Did you consider the mpa at one point too? I like both the black speedy and mpa - unsure which id use/like more.
It’s nice if you are vegan. LV doesn’t give many vegan options on their pieces….
Here are more pics for you guys. The collection is quite fun.
Gonna skip on this collection due to budget reasons lmao I will however get this gap tote

Shop Gap's 100% Recycled Polyester Puffer Tote Bag:
It is sooo fun! How r the bags once u put stuff inside it? Does it drag or distort it? If I were to get it I plan to fill the bags w all my essentials.
congrats on all your finds!!
It doesn’t feel like the Prada nylon bags to me… feels more like a puffer jacket - it’s less stiff and it’s quilted
I got the MPA!! BlackPink version.
After stuffing my stuff in there, it kinda reminds me of the Jujube Be Quick (the black piece). It looks way bigger because it built as a “flat” bag while Jujube’s Be Quick is a depth sewn in. But the amount it holds is similar to that, with the Pillow Maxi MPA holding wee bit more extras.
You ready for the photo spams?
I bought via my SA, so he packed an extra dust bag for the second pochette.
Quite similar in size the big and medium.
The layout. Take note the chain doesn’t come with easy-open D ring ends. The pink Pochette has the Easy-open D rings instead. That would means the chain is “useless” without the pink pochette and you cannot fix the black pochette with the chain without doing some serious modifications.

With a Speedy B 25:
Top view MMPA with Speedy 25
Front view (which you could hardly see the Speedy 25 anymore!)
Top view: Speedy 25, Coussin PM, MMPA.
Front view: again, you hardly see any of the two other bags behind.
A side view of the bags: Speedy 25, Coussin PM, MMPA.

Now a more detailed quick review about the black pochette.
I stuffed it with the things I carry daily and wore it.
It doesn’t looked too wide or big on me despite my small frame. For reference I’m around a size US 2 or 4.
However, when it’s stuffed, it kinda contort the shape as well.
So this happens when it’s stuffed. The front tab flips up instead of laying flat. It doesn’t bother me much but some may find this a deal-breaker. So I wanna put it out there, if you stuffed it, it will contort the shape.
Next I want to enlighten everyone that the dimensions written on the website is not the full “real estate” you could use as there is about 3cm “taken up” to “embed” the zipper. Your “real” usable space is whatever dimensions written on the website minus 3cm, height wise.
Next, let’s talk about the space in the pochette. It’s a pity there isn’t any “pockets or slots” as written on the website.
I thought it might be also be more realized to measure with the things inside, rather than a flat measurement, as who in the real world carries only flatten things in their bags?
Length wise, I could fit my (fully stuffed fat) Juliette wallet (longest side), a key pouch (cles, also longest side) and AirPod pro casing (depth side). Of course I could fit in more things but I want to give you the widest length you could go.
This was how I placed the items inside the pochette (taken out for visual).
So the realistic length was up to 27cm inside for the black pochette. Bearing in mind my wallet is really fat.
Height wise, I had no problems placing my Juliette Wallet standing and zipping up the bag as shown. So the bulkier the stuff, the more leeway you need to keep for the bag to zip. If you have flatter things, you probably could put more. For reference my Juliette wallet is currently 13.5cm long and I have stuffed it with a 4cm depth (website says it’s 3cm, but I put so many cards).

Finally, the pink pochette….
It also has 3cm top shaved off for usable space due to the zipper like the black pochette.
I could still fit the same 3 items, just in different orientations. There’s room for more things but since I’m just trying to measure the maximum length of the inside space, I’m
The visual of how I orientated my items to fit the pink pochette. Juliette wallet at the longest end, key pouch cles at the shorter width, AirPod pro on its width too. That would fill up the entire length of the pink pochette.
The maximum length of pink pochette would be about 25cm, using the three items to fit inside.
