I’m sorry, I should’ve said congratulations! I didn’t realize this was the bag you purchased. This color is really special. [emoji4]

Hi Nicole0612, That's ok, my post was really a replied to your post about the color.
But thank you, I hope that LV continues to make additional colors.
I’m actually not too fond of the Celine 16. This is the first LV bag that I actually fell in love in and might be my first LV purchase. I really love the white color...I hope this style sticks around. I would be curious on the wear and durability.
I’m also a little uncertain on the sizes. It looks like the PM is slightly smaller and the MM is slightly larger than my Kelly 28. Could someone post full body shots with the bag? I still can’t find a lot of photos.
If you want to keep the shape of the bag, you should store it like the Kelly....stuffed and on it’s back in its box (with lid off). I also rest my B and K on it’s back when temporarily parked in my closet. Storing it upright will cause it to slouch over time.

Honestly, it looks more like the Celine 16 than a Kelly, but I feel like it’s a better design. The Celine looks off balance to me...to thin of handle and accent straps...and a soggy looking bottom.
Thank you very much, the color is as nice as I’d hoped it would be. I hope you enjoy the bag!
You’re right, the PM size is between a Kelly 25 and Kelly 28, and the MM size is between a Kelly 28 and 32.
Returning to say that I love the combination of leathers on this bag. I have seen the Celine 16 in person, and it would make me paranoid, lol! That smooth leather all over the bag! I like that the LV has a grained leather on the bottom. I actually love that orange color!
More pics. MM size feels a bit larger than K28. Good size. Quality is next level, I was floored. Beautiful bag. Every detail.

Is the smooth leather of this bag the same type as the smooth city steamer, specifically as easily scratchable? As much as I like the look of the contrast between the smooth and grained leathers, I wouldn’t want to have to worry about scratching the top flap.
I've not ever owned a city steamer, my closest comparison is the K28 or the Delvaux Tempete MM. I would say it would be similar to box calf perhaps, and prone to scratching just on that top portion.
I have 2 bags in all smooth calf skin and I've not had any issues with scratches. Can't wait to see This bag it's drop dead gorgeous
