Went to LV to see the bag today and it really is beautiful. The smoother leather on the flap isn’t as delicate as I thought it would be. The SA mentioned since it has a satiny sheen to it, its not as scratchable as the more matte calfskin of the smooth leather city steamer. 57844081221__71BACC92-0EC9-42E1-B55C-E4C794D74682.JPG
The MM wasn’t as big as I assumed. As much as I liked the PM, it was small for what I personally need. I feel the MM looked best hand/arm carried, but having the strap is a good option when you need your hands free. The PM looked good carried all ways. Hopefully they come out with more colors, but I’m seriously considering this Khaki MM.
 
At last, It’s here and I love it. I have used it two days and it fits my life. It’s the PM and it has the same space inside as my Kelly. Does the padlock make it look too ”Hermes”? No, I don’t think so. I have a padlock on all my Alma’s, and do they look like Hermes? Ok, maybe Bolide , This padlock has its own ring so it fits better than the one on the Kelly.
I love my Kelly but it so irritating to open and close. That’s not the case with the RDV, it’s easy to access your things. Yes I love it. 777399CC-4AB1-4B9E-BFED-D10B5DFBA61A.jpegA4964059-A271-4F67-951A-F8EEBD983AE1.jpeg851C8372-E743-4B46-9797-98738A79AA5B.jpeg
(I love my Kelly to, but I don’t like it ”not closed” and it’s so hard to open and close so that’s the reason I don’t wear it often enough.)

I totally feel you here. I wanted a kelly forever, and then now I don't use mine at all b/c of the trouble with opening/ closing. I despise this b/c I love the bag. When I saw the RDV bag in LV last week, I thought, WOW! Similar shape, easier access. And I don't really think the quality between the 2 is all that different, do you?

The Khaki is TDF. The RdV is a beautiful UTR LV bag. I can see this becoming a classic.

More robust than the Celine and not as fiddly as an H Kelly. I have a few bags like this already plus I don't need a bag ATM BUT if I was in the market for a bag the Khaki RdV would be in the running for sure.
