High five! me too, I’m going to use the pouch separately as a clutch. I compared it to a TP26 and the kirigami large pouch, and neverfull mm pouch, is your pouch bigger?

I tried fitting an ipad in, and it just about fits!
OK it may mean the GM pouch is substantially larger. Haha. No problems fitting in my iPad Pro (11") in the pouch, together with airpods, wallet, cardholder, mask and tissues/wipes, and doesn't really make the pouch look distended or deformed.

Wow yes your pouch is definitely much larger! very useful, and I like the placement of the LV on this pouch, than that on the pochette voyage. Passed on that due to the placement.

It's on the verge of being too large actually - the "good" thing about this size is that you can actually kind of scootch in A4 sized papers without wrinkling/folding (not sure if a less flexible item like a folder can be accommodated though). I think this is about the size of the new (?) A4 pouch they have or maybe the old pochette voyage GM when they produced that. I think a guy of my size would still be able to handle this pouch as a standalone but will probably be too large for a good number of people.

Good to know it’s nicer in person! I’m going back and forth with the keepall xs. I haven’t gotten mine yet but I was thinking if I should return it. Well I’ll wait til it arrives (mid April).
The blue watercolor is the most beautiful among the 4 subline of watercolor, I love my blue watercolor keepall xs the most, it’s insanely beautiful! I was using it continuously for 2 days and admiring it non stop :love:318ED604-FE8C-4F32-AF55-84CD3EE0CEF3.jpeg06739D85-B18A-4DCE-91A9-ED778B13AF6C.jpeg
 
I have to agree with @23adeline the blue is amazing! I was lucky enough to get the City Keepall which is just a little shorter in height than a Speedy 25. Almost exactly the same length. I absolutely love it! I will add that I don't love the new policy on the canvas pieces. My understanding is that you can't order, and the CA's are technically not even allowed to hold them. They are supposed to go right out onto the floor. Very frustrating for long time customers but am guessing that this their attempt to make it fair for everyone. Not a great system if you happen to be located a long distance from a store. OK, rant over and back to looking at my beautiful bag!

Beautiful! Now I kind of wish I had gotten something in the blue. I also really love the blue slender wallet!

I am with you on your frustration with the release approach for this collection (at least in the US). There was alot of confusion and inconsistencies in the information provided to customers. Some CAs said there were no pre-orders, some said there was a waitlist, some said stores were allowed to nominate customers and corporate would select the customers who could buy, etc.

I even contacted one CA this week to ask if they would be getting any stock in and he said the only stock they would receive were pre-orders. He then quickly followed up that text saying "sorry I didn't mean pre-orders...this will be first come, first serve". Hmmm... anyways I hope they iron this out for future releases if they continue to follow this strategy.

Great bag, glad you were able to score. I think it’s fair to provide everyone equal access. I am a long time buyer and was once a VIC, so have experienced the benefit of being given special access. I don’t like that this release was promoted as no pre-sale on canvas, only to arrive 1st at a few stores to be told the items were sold already via deposit.

Exactly this is what frustrated me. The inconsistencies in the story about how items were going to be released.

That's very interesting. I too was told that they were not taking deposits. I would think that the point of sale system would take care of restricting access in those cases. But then again who knows.

My exact thoughts on it. That’s basically how it panned out on launch day. The whole initiative to give everyone a “fair” chance and get rid of pre-orders on canvas proved futile. I was lucky to get mine through a different means but the frustration throughout is more than valid
