The iena is definitely my favorite bag right now. I was always a neverfull girl but I'm finding the iena to be a lot more practical and the straps are a lot more comfier then the neverfull. I'm getting wrinkles on the straps though with only two weeks of use so I'm giving it a rest now.
Resting the bag will probably help. I've never had a Neverfull, but it was on my list. I did see one gal with the DE Neverful in GM on a trip close up and it looked HUGE! At least for me, I'm sure it's awesome for travel!
 
I'm with you on being a Longchamp gal. I have this exact same bag and like it a lot. I use it as an everyday/diaper bag and do find the strap a little uncomfortable whenever I wear tank top but is fine if I have a sweater or jacket on, which I think is expected because this is untreated leather. I've been thinking about the Azur as well just that I already have the Totally PM in Azur so I don't know it'll be too similar if I get the Iena in Azur but MM size. Haiz... I'd get the Azur if I were you only if I never had the Totally.
Thanks, yeah, I'd love to get an Azur. I was also thinking about a different LV style in DA, like Lymington, have you heard that? Here's a link: https://ca.louisvuitton.com/eng-ca/products/lymington-damier-azur-nvprod840057v

I'd been on the fence moreso b/c of color transfer and all. Have you used Apple Guard or anything on it? I know Just Jennifer did a Youtube video on that.
If you DO decide on an Iena in DE, please post pics! :)
 
I’ve read the forum in almost its entirety regarding the Iena and watched YT videos too but I’m confused - does the Iena have any structure? Like does it feel like there’s some interior support in between the lining and the canvas to hold up the sides? Or is it like the Neverfull? Completely soft? Is the structure just from the canvas? Trying to gauge how soft it’ll get with years of use and also if a samorga is truly necessary for the Iena or not.

Thank you :)

I don't have a Neverfull but I've seen one many times up close, and I think the Iena is similar to the Neverfull in terms of its being slouchy. Mine is. It's less so with things inside, but if it bothers you a purse organizer is the way to go.

Hi. I have the PM and I feel like it has enough structure (obviously it is not a structured bag like an Alma). Mine can stand up on its own when empty. Since the PM is smaller, you are likely to fill it up more so further providing it with “structure”. But I think it may be different with the MM. At the boutique, the SA pulled out an MM to show me and it was completely slouchy/floppy by itself and it couldn’t stand on its own.

Heloo!is the Iena P.M. model available in the Louis Vuitton stores? On the l.v site it is unavailable. Is it a rare model, difficult to find? And will there be price raises in Europe for the Louis Vuitton products? If so, when?
 
Does anyone know why the Monogram was discontinued but not the others?
This is disappointing because I wanted to purchase the larger MM size as well. This is better fit for me than the Neverfull
 
Hello, I’m debating between Iena mm and Kensington. Does any of you have both and can give me comparisons? I didn’t find that many review on Kensington on YouTube. Thanks
 
Hi. Just wondering if many of you have sold your Iena due to corner wear issue. I don’t use mine that much since I rotate all my bags so no problems yet. Just wondering if I should part with mine sooner rather than later, lol. I only like shoulder/hobo bag with a zipped top so my choices are kind of limited. Thx

I haven’t and so far so good and I use mine typically for weeks at a time cause it’s so easy to use and I do not baby this bag. I literally throw it around everywhere. I am currently using it now. It sounds like it is the perfect style bag for you though I understand your concerns.

Thanks so much for your feedback. That’s good to know. I supposed some corner wear is inevitable on bags across many brands so I think I am not going to worry too much, yet.
