I was thisclose to purchasing Speedy 25 Emp in grenade. It was on hold at Saks and I was going to put on my MPA to pay out over 12 months zero interest. I visited and tried on and really liked (maybe not loved) the bag. But I could not bring myself to purchase it. Perhaps I did not want a bill each month for 12 months. Kind of freeing in a way. Also, I have over 20 Vuittons and think it is a little excessive. And finally, I think I want a small diamond (Tiffany or Cartier) and the cost of Speedy Emp could be a huge portion of my ring. Wonder if I will change my mind again!
Congrats to you! It is a nice feeling! Go for the diamond! I sold my Verona mm and traded in a diamond for my solitaire pendant earlier this year. I was going to get a emp speedy b - I had an epi noe to return, the Verona funds and the cash in hand. I debated an SC PM or emp speedy or emp métis. No excitement at all - so I bought my DH limited edition shoes and belt with the noe credit and went for a flawless diamond at diamonds direct Southpark (for my nc peeps - second to none - I adore them)
I've only done payments on a bag once and it was awful! Never again. It just feels wrong to me. I ended up just paying it all off anyway.
No point in buying something just to buy it - it's empty and unfulfilling. I went to the Chanel sale in Sunday and thought about getting the black on the road hobo. I'm not a hobo person. I realized I did not like it and the sale was clouding my judgment. If a green mademoiselle bowler becomes available, I may get that since I adore the shape and color (The noe was menthe - just too green for me). Ill survive if there's no green chanel in my immediate future
I will be at KOP to order a mon mono piece since they don't do it in Charlotte and I am an in-store purchaser only. I figured I could do green as one of the colors

How is the KOP boutique? I haven't been to KOP in 20 years! I am guessing you normally purchase at Saks but if you have any KOP tips, I'd love to hear them
