I ordered an Estrela online and FE will deliver tomorrow. In the club!! Anyway, Im concerned on how to keep the microfiber lining clean!! Any suggestions? Im usually careful with my LVs but this lining looks like it would pick up dirt really easy and I hate a lining thats not clean.

Congrats! you're going to love your Estrela. :) yes like they say, purse organizer is the best way to stuck up all your things inside, especially if you carry many things. Me? i don't, coz i only carry few things. But with my other bags i use a bag organizer. :)

After reading all the positive posts here, i went to LV on 1/1/13 & got myself a spanking new ESTRELA MM .... i used it 3 days for work ... i carried my Emilie wallet, a LE SPORT SAC pencil case & small pouch for odd n ends, my 7" Galaxy tab, some papers , 1 paper notebook , my car keys & 2 packs of pocket tissue .... the bag is heavy with just these ( so i wonder how u guys can carry everything but the kitchen sink ) & my colleague pointed out that the straps may just give way bcoz the part where the strap is sewn to the surface of the bag , when being carried, u can see that it is really stretch and the hole where the stitch goes thru the canvas is stretching & i believe the hole will get bigger with time .....so, i quickly took out all my things & packed the bag away in my closet ... now i m thinking i made a mistake with this very expensive bag ... does anyone feel the same way ?

I did not find it super heavy, I carry sarah wallet, cosmetic pouch, eye glass case and cleaner, cles, iphone, another small pouch for stuff, sometimes scarf, hat, gloves. Maybe it is the tablet, i found when i put my ipad in it, or any of my bags they feel super heavy. Or maybe you have a defective one and should take it in and have them look at it.

Mine too! Not that heavy, I have my emilie wallet, coach cosmetic case, mono cles, LC coin purse, perfume, iPhone, a hanky, small notebook and a waterman pen, and a small pouch for little things like meds. :) I just took this photo now, I love her more than ever when the vachetta started to patina. :) and she gets softer and prettier. And I like carrying her with the strap.

TQ KIM .... i hv tried taking out most of the less necessary stuff & i think u r right, its the tablet thats causing the weight .... however, i hv sort of fallen out of love with it bcoz i hv many mono bags & mayb shld get something in DE or DA .... dont think LV will let me return it altho it is as good as new so mayb hv to sell it at a consignment store.

Hi ANVIC ... TQ... your bag is beautiful as is mine but somehow think its too big for daily use ...also i already hv way too many mono bags so mayb i m just bored of the print ...i shld hv got something in DA or DE , I am thinking now but trying to sell it is going to be such a bother ...i may just end up keeping it n using it occassionally ...may get an organizer for it .

I previously purchased from a consignment store an estrela mm but thought it was way too big, I returned. I was so disappointed because I really liked the style. Later I discovered after seeing an MM at the LV store, that the bag I'd gotten was really a GM, and was labeled incorrectly as an MM. Which explains why it was huge! I just found another pre-loved just over 1 month old, and Lee authenticated it. I'm happy to have finally gotten this bag and this one isn't too big! :D

Where do you purchase your pre-loved bags from?

I found the estrela mm on ebay. I was a little scared as it was my first purchase over $30 on ebay. I had it authenticated here. It had the new cloth tag, maybe the prior owner didn't like that and got rid of it or just didn't like the style, I'm not sure, but it was less than 2 months old and I got it for $1280. It isn't a bag I see that often on Yoogis or other sites, but I think eventually you can come across one in good condition. I don't like buying pre-loved unless in excellent condition. I've bought other preloved from mostly Yoogis, 1 from Fashionphile and Meme Treasures and a couple more from ebay after this one. A different ebay purchase, ixia pm, because of the higher price i had authenticated twice, here and by caroldiva for more peace of mind since ebay still makes me nervous.
