I noticed BV now has the Teen Lauren 1980 bag available. I’m curious what other BV fans think of the bag. I’m looking for a bag that I can use day to night and feel this is cute. Would love any thoughts on the bag or if anyone has it and your feedback. If I get it I’m considering the salt color (cream) or fondant. I wear a lot of neutrals - what color do you prefer.

I saw it in person yesterday, and it's cute. The chain strap definitely makes it more versatile than earlier versions. I noticed the bag itself is a bit larger than my TM era Laurens. It felt closer in size to The Pouch.
I have five TM versions, with another on the way (yes, I have a Lauren problem). So, I have no plans to add the new version to my collection. However, this new one is great for those who don't want to fully embrace clutch life. You can't go wrong with a neutral, but that Barolo is sooo gorgeous!
Thank you! I am going to call my SA and see if the boutique near me has any in stock- I’d like to see it. Given you have a lot of Lauren, can you tell me in what occasions you carry it the most? I see myself using this bag casually in the day with jeans and put at night sometimes too- I want something I can grab and go, hold a few things and then bring w on errands etc. I’d love your thoughts! That’s partly why I like the chain allows me to also toss on shoulder if my hands are full.
I carry my Laurens casually on weekends, for light shopping or dining out. I opt for a crossbody when I want to be hands free. The new Lauren would not be hands free for me. Bags slide off my shoulders easily, and only a crossbody lets me be completely hands free. The chain strap is not long enough for crossbody wear on the new Lauren, but it can easily be worn on the shoulder.
I have the original Lauren in red. Not going to my closet to measure it, but size wise it looks like the teen, no strap.
It's perfect for evening. I don't carry it daytime. It's unusual and quite lovely.

I recently got the Teen Lauren in fondant and love it! Thanks for the feedback you all provided before my purchase - it definitely helped me! I’m in love. Will post pics soon!!
Did you get it with the chain? Did it come with a certificate of craft? I have noticed the new chain version does not state that it comes with the Certificate of Craft (giving a lifetime warranty) on the BV website, even though less expensive bags do. I would love to see some pictures when you have time
I love the bag. I’m so happy with it and use it more than many of my other bags. I personally wear it casually (jeans and tshirt) and find it really adds to the outfit - I carry as a clutch most of the time but love that when needing my hands, can use the chain. I have the fondant and love the color. I get so many compliments on it too. I have to check if it came with a certificate of craft or not- I think it did but I’ll double check. I’ll also post photos next time I use it. Again it’s my most used bag at the moment and holds a lot. I also love that it doesn’t look like a saggy clutch when it’s not full.
Thank you!! Super helpful. I think I’m going to get it but would love to see more photos of yours. I’m deciding btw fondant and kaki
