Rose des vents - best bag ever?

[A1aGypsy]

It’s an interesting research question but I suspect, given that LV was a luggage company, you’d find they had locks first?

I don't have a horse in this race, but the Steamer bag was released in 1901 and it has a lock, this picture is a early version of that bag.

I don't believe that the lock will get in the way, it is attached to hardware that stays on the flap unless you want to lock the bag.

The lock can and does touch the bag but only on the edge of the flap and only when tilted back or opened. For the most part the hardware looks to be designed to keep the lock off the bag, the bottom of the lock clears the bag at all times.
It's not perfect but much better that other bags from the past.

I added a internal shot while I was taking pictures. (this is the MM)
I see that there is a White w/Gold hardware coming.

Saw the khaki MM recently in person--a stunner, such an unusual green. Very well made; IMO the quality does explain the price tag.

I wish the khaki was available in the PM!

I bought the MM in Creme online. Bag came home today. Love it!

Beautiful bag! Is the top flap and the bottom half the same shade or is it the lighting? The website shows the top flap as lighter? I'm not sure if I quite like that.

The top is lighter. I ended up returning this bag and picked up 2 PMs

Haha in black? Do you have more pictures by any chance? I wish I could go into store to see it but they don't have it at all, it's all sold out!

Two different leathers so they will throw different shades of the dye.

Sorry, I don't. I ended up getting a pochette metis in Creme and another in reverse monogram

I really like the shape of the bag. It looks like it can fit a lot in it and still look slim.
I'm into it.

Lv contacted me to recall the speedy bandolier 25 and the lockit i got in 2015. They gave me todays market value for both bags. I went in yesterday and exchanged those bags for the rose des vents black pm size and the very one tote in black. Love both. Happy with my choices

Congratulations, I hope you love “the rose des vents” as much that I do. After a couple of months I still think it’s the perfect bag

i haven't had the bag for a month yet and the locking mechanism broke right off! that has never happened to one of my LV bags before. hopefully it's an isolated defect with this bag and not an issue with this new lock. i will be contacting LV and we will see what happens.
