Congrats on this little beautiful bag. How do you feel about the studs? I ordered the Speedy 25 and can‘t wait to rock it

Thanks! The studs are rounded and protruding very minimally, so they don’t cause any discomfort.
Looking forward to see your Speedy 25

My new Keepall 25 from the Portrait capsule. Pre-ordered in July and received this week. I love the bags that are different, and this one is so striking and artistic.

Agree very artsy and unique, have not seen anything like this. It's gorgeous!

I have very few “bags that got away”. Mostly because I eventually get over it. But I’ve never been able to get over the Cerises collection. I was too young to afford (underage even ) but I had been on exchange to Japan around that time and well yeah, this is me making younger me happy. I found this one by chance and while I still have to get it authenticated, I’m quite excited. So I post this new acquisition with wishes that we are now living what our younger selves could only dream of (handbags or no handbags).

Now, what would make current me happy is if they got it together at LV and gave us a new Murakami collection

I remember when this came out, I think I was living in Hawaii at the time and always loved it as well. I know what it's like to spend treats tracking down a bag so congratulations and love what you said about our younger selves!

thank you for your kind words.
Seems to be 'bday' gift for myself.
Actually I did not know the existance of Rose Des Vent as I hardly see this model at boutique and did not see many people carrying it. Was pondering if this model is not that popular at first. My SA was telling me that Rose Des Vent mini only comes in exotic leathers. Highly recommended this model and color to me to match my outfits, it is more like nude pink, with some 'shimmering' color in shades of pastel yellow and pink at certain angles and depends on how it capture the lighting. I find that it is like 'mini kelly' and the bag can hold more item than capucine mini.

Happy (belated) birthday! What a beautiful gift to yourself. I love the pink! And I have not seen anyone with this bag before. I just treated myself to birthday gifts too.... such a good way to celebrate and self care ❤️

Love this! I bet it was too tempting while you were there. It's so hard walking into an LV boutique.

I know the feeling. I think I don't want or need anything then suddenly I need everything lol. I just returned from Paris and had planned to visit LV flagship store on my birthday but I arrived literally 5 minutes after they closed. Then I went to Galeries Lafayette department store and the LV boutique had a super long line. I think it was a blessing in disguise!

Thank you so much! Are they legit sellers? Stating that they are exclusive partner with LV sounds suspicious to me...LV never partnered with anybody.

Yes legit owned by LVMH. I recently ordered a brand new Balmain bag from them and had no issues. I didn't realize they sold pre-owned items too. Good luck whatever you decide!

My hubby surprised me today with this pretty card holder. I prefer the men's model because it has two slots on each side. It is perfect with my new mini black Marmont Gucci.

I bought the DG key pouch. I love silver so opted for this one from the men’s collection. I love the Graphite look! Using as a key pouch at the moment and I think I might get the Monogram for coins etc

I agree with you. Your key pouch is very cute.

Ladies & Gents, I need to vent, please bear with me. I am on a roll willa Milla in veau leather, I found one in this gorgeous green color in excellent condition. To my big disappointment the corners are heavily worn and the bag significantly lost its shape. The bag is in very good condition at the best.
This supposed to be my Christmas present, but I am torn what to do. Keep it and ask for partial refund? Try to repair it at LV?
What would you do? I prefer a return. Sounds reasonable to me, even though my heart is torn, of course!
Thank you, my "co-sufferers" of this luxury passion, for listening!

Hello fellow purse lovers,
I would like to give you an update re: the Milla MM purchase. Without going into much detail, it took some time, but I won a PayPal case against the seller and was granted $450.00 partial refund. I find it as a huge success! I am glad I did not let it go.
