Nearly a decade ago when I started purchasing luxury bags (slowly and carefully), I thought I was already contented with my Neverfull DE which I used nearly every time I head out with my firstborn. I had all the diaper and travelling experience with that bag, along with my daughter. When I fell pregnant the 2nd time few years later, I could not forget about the Alma PM in Amarante that I had to splurge. Again, I thought that was it - this bag will follow me forever on every special occasion. I always love how beautiful a Lady Dior looks, but I could not justify the price and I do not think my lifestyle suits that clunky and matron-y bag, so the Alma PM in the vernis leather was perfect for me.

When the Pomme de Amour colour was released, my jaw dropped. I rushed to the nearest store with my husband, and he said "oh my, what a beautiful colour. You must have it, and I will buy it for you as a push present." Who was I kidding if I were to resist? I do not even remember if I brought my wallet that day as I dropped everything just to head to the boutique to get the bag. With my husband's generosity, my heart was filled with love and when the purchase was made, I felt that my happy aura was contagious for miles that day! I went home, and hug both my Alma PMs. My growing daughter started to speak, and she said she wanted the red bag. I knew my husband and I did the right thing!

After that, I never had any other interests in their new releases, and I even gifted the Amarante to my sister because I no longer feel as much love as I had before. I thought I will not be buying anymore LV until I saw the Pochette Metis in the reverse monogram. It changed everything, and I started to believe that there is no such thing as purse peace. I hunted for that bag for a long time, and finally, I managed to secure one last year. Was I contented? Yes. Did I sleep well, knowing I have finally gotten what I wanted? Definitely. Am I browsing LV website every now and then to check out new releases? Also yes. Especially these two years.

I don’t think I’ve ever had purse peace. I‘ve just accepted that I’m a bag collector. I. Love. Bags. Luxury, contemporary, non-brand....it doesn’t matter. Sometimes I see a bag that I love, and buy it knowing I’ll never actually use it. But I like knowing I have it.... I have a problem. Lol!

I have the same "problem" but I figure there are worse problems to have!

My last “bag” purchase from LV was the pochette accessories in monogram in Oct 2020. Since then, I haven’t come across another LV bag that I HAD to get my hands on.

I’ve been looking more towards their RTW.

I did purchase another bag in leather (different brand, shhhh) mainly for work.

I've had no issues at all. Here are photos I took a while ago and I just looked at it now and no changes. Definitely give it another shot.

I don't over stuff it and I don't pull the flap back all the way.

There is a tiny bit of wear where the clasps rub but nothing that bothers me because it's natural wear and tear.

LV Empreinte Leather

No issues with my montaigne purchased in 2015 and slight fading on my noir key pouch (purchased in 2014) which was recently recalled
