Speaking of waiting lists being useless, I've been on one for a minute with Holt Renfrew for a Margaux 15 or 17 and instead of calling me when one came in, they just outright ignore the list and put them out on the floor!
I must have angels watching over me though, because as I was walking out of the Louis Vuitton section I saw an employee putting this Margaux 17 on a shelf about 40 feet away, so I ran over and claimed it like a lost child!
I was planning on it as a gift for my sister for an everyday bag, but it is just too damn big for her needs-- and I fell in love with it and decided to keep it.
I am a guy and not into super feminine looking things and I was surprised how good it looked on me. I got the sister a more suitable daily bag instead (which you can see in one of my previous posts, a lovely LV Carmel Hobo). From looking at pictures I couldn't tell if it was too pretty for a guy like me, but I feel like it is very neutral and low key in practice, especially when stuffed... and it is perfect for my constant short-ish traveling from island to city and back. It fits everything but the kitchen sink (I threw in my Loro Piana L29 Extra Pouch for scale, which is nearly 12" across) and is a lovely supple and wonderful smelling leather.
