If anyone out there has seen or owns this bag , I have a couple of questions :
Are the water droplets raised or recessed ? What are they made of? Are they shiny like vernis? And lastly any opinions about this bag would be most welcome : ) thanks in advance to any who can help !

The water droplet patches a slightly raised and glossy. I think it’s the laser-printed resin-like material.

It’s really pretty and sweet looking but it attracts dirt easily too at the fabric part of the zipper and I don’t know how I managed to get a “yellow” stain at the bottom of my bag too. I tried many ways to clean it off. I managed to lighten the yellow stain a fair bit. But at certain angles I could still see the stain while the rest of the bag is pristine white background.

I find the strap a bit heavy when I pack the bag fully as the hardware weighs more (since it is men’s bag) than the usual women’s bag collection.

You have to be ok for the bag to be less than perfect even if you take care and baby the bag around, since it is light-coloured.

Thank you so much for this feedback . I’ve looked at so many images and it seems hard to tell the dimension of those droplets. I really appreciate this info . I own a keepall 25 in eclipse mono and really like the bag itself but not sure now about the embellishments on this one. Will have to give it some more thought. So sorry to hear about your yellow stain. Usually canvas is pretty resistant to all that . Also the pics I’ve seen vary from the color of the trim looking more seafoam to others looking less aqua and more gray . What would you say regarding the true color? Thanks again : )

Let me dig up some close up pics for you:

Keepall has a “fatter” handle than speedy if you were not aware. Since keepall25 is a shrink down version, the handle has a smaller gap space to put your hand through if this is a concern. Either wear it with bandouliere or hand hold without carrying it on the nook of your arm only.

Because of the zip orientation (1 way zip) I wear the “front” side facing myself and the “back” side facing everyone. The raised droplet would have rub against my clothes all the time when I use this bag. But thankfully nothing came off (if you were worried). I tend to use new bags intensively for at least a month before the interest wear off and I think of practicality. I only got the zip fabric a little dirty and a mysterious slightly yellow stain. One of the picture showed the stain if you could spot it.

I know and totally understand that. I wanted to be honest and real so that you make a good decision for yourself. It is not cheap and I couldn’t understand why the price is slightly higher than some other keepall 25 too. On LV website it mentioned the “laser-cut” printed of the droplet, I guess it’s not easy to source for a material that doesn’t rub off easily too.
