The Elusive P9 Thread

[Bagsbagsbaby]

I think p9 is absolutely stunning and have been in love since I was shown one in store a couple of weeks ago. I think they are likely far more useable than Birkins, it’s more an iykyk bag, iyswim. They can go everywhere, fairly safely, I think without attracting undue attention.
The soft structure likely makes them more comfortable and less barrel like than a regular speedy. They kind of puddle a bit. I think they look incredible dressed up with chains and charms.

My 25 in amethyst is an every day bag for me. It’s so easy to use and I definitely use it more than my B, Ks, and Constance (my most used Hermes). I’ll use it to go out to dinner but probably never a fancy dinner.

I’ve had no issues with wear and tear and it’s been used quite a lot including travel. Mine is not in a light color but it’s not dark either…no issues with color transfer.

Also in terms on how I wear it, all the above for me…handheld or crossbody when I need to be hands free.

I have a few questions. These p9s are expensive. How do you use yours? Like any regular monogram bag? Handheld or shoulder/ crossbody carry? Where do you wear yours to?

I like the idea of a P9, but I also have Birkins and Kellys and I don't even use them that much. It just seems like I have no place or occasions to carry them.

And in terms of wear, do light colors get color transfer? The leather seems so supple and smooth, is it easily scratched?

Your views are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I use mine the same as @Venessa84 and @Chrisinor as everyday bags. I also own Hermes but find them too structured for everyday carry for me, but I dress casual everyday.
The speedy is such a cool casual bag especially in the beautifully slouchy P9. I absolutely adore mine in the 40 and the 25 size. I carry my 25 in turquoise more than I expected and have no color transfer. I live in jeans and still have no issues.
I shoulder carry and hand carry. I rarely crossbody bags and that’s purely because of personal preference.
As for wear, I have no wear on either and though I’m more careful with them, I don’t baby bags. They can sometimes sit in dirty places and have shown no issues 😊
The leather is definitely not smooth on either of mine, but mine are from earlier releases and I haven’t looked at the newer colors. I would assume they use the same calfskin though for all P9 bags.
Have you been able to touch one in person grande? I think if you do you may be in trouble 😂

Though I’m not looking to add another the dark blue and olive green are grabbing my attention 😎

how do you generally use your 40? I love the size for what it will fit, but I worry about the weight.

I use mine for longer days when I need to carry extra stuff. I rarely stuff it full, but have on occasion for weekend trips and it can get heavy fully loaded with clothes and toiletries. It’s not any different than carrying any overly packed large leather bag in my opinion. I prefer to carry it half full and usually shoulder carry it. I changed my strap to a smaller one from a smaller bag and that helped. The straps included are meant for men so they are heavier hardware than the women’s. Even half full the size 40 still carries a lot. I actually use it all the time and don’t regret the decision to purchase it for one second 😊
I luckily don’t have difficulty with heavier bags yet (I’m in my early 50’s) but I’m sure it would be more difficult as I age.
If you have any other questions just ask 😊

It was a hot stamp done at the SoHo location. And thank you! They have some really cool hot stamps right now. I wish I could’ve done a stamp on both sides.

Picked up my first LV bag yesterday! Since I’ve seen pics of the P9 in the Lemonade I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind… so I went into my local LV and they happened to have it! She’s so pretty and soft, now I want the Turquoise too. I don’t have any previous purchase history so I don’t think you need one to buy a P9… just a credit card lol..

I’m seriously obsessed with this color! Congratulations!!

Thanks for your input! How is the wear and tear? I feel like as a bigger bag it'll get thrown around a little more

Absolutely ☺️
My 40 has definitely been thrown around more than the 25. But it’s still in perfect shape. No scuffs or wear at all. My 40 has been in some bad spots in horse trailers and a couple floorboard trips in the truck and it is still looking perfect. I should be easier with them because they cost so much but I’m a use the bag kinda girl unfortunately 😂. My granddaughter did put her sticky little hands on it on one occasion and it was sticky gross. I used my saddle conditioner/cleaner and it came right off no problem. No issues with a spot or anything on the leather. I use skidmores on my higher quality leather saddles and I’ve never had a problem with it.
The vachetta is darker than normal bags but I believe @coloradolvr (my reverse color/size P9 twin 🤎🩵) confirmed it is not pre-treated after asking her CA. I did spray my handles with apple guarde just in case. I may just be incredibly lucky, but I really do think these bags can take a beating 😊

So that poster on Reddit that everyone was mean to is owed a half apology 😂. The size 50 is more expensive and will not have leather interior. The smaller sizes still have leather interior.

Matt clarified with me 5 mins ago. He told me it's still leather..but Indigo has a printed design.

@jooon Not sure if you saw the latest photos from Matt on IG but omg I'm so excited to get the Indigo! Looks like it's the only one with special leather print on it.
