So, my background with LV is that my Mamaw had a Sac Plat that’s at least as old as I am (I am 34 today). I remember seeing it all my life in her closet and while she didn’t end up carrying it during my life that I can remember (she said it hurt when it dug into her shoulder), she did carry her wallet, which was a checkbook wallet in monogram. I loved Louis Vuitton before I even knew what it was. When she passed away, I got her Sac Plat which is in such like-new condition it’s unbelievable. Her wallet went to my stepmother and I panic at the thought of what she might have done with it (she doesn’t see the value in things like this and very well could have sold it in a yard sale/Craigslist for $20).
Anyway, I never carried the Sac Plat because the shape of it wasn’t my style when I first got it, so it sat in it’s bag in my closet for years. She also had a toiletry bag that I have that I use even though it’s no longer in the best shape from years/decades of carrying cosmetics. I’ve told my husband for years it was my dream to own a LV purse and this year was my year.
For my first one, I became obsessed with the Neverfull MM DE with Rose Ballerine lining, and he got me that along with the matching Sarah wallet. I found myself consumed with wanting a bag in Damier Azur with RB lining and so we went into the LV store that’s somewhat local and “looked” only for him to surprise me with getting the Graceful PM and the Victorine wallet. We went back the next day and got the Toiletry Bag 25 in monogram because I wanted to add on to the travel bag my Mamaw left me. You’d think I’d be done, but last night he asked me if I felt complete in my collection and I said that the Graceful MM in monogram was the last bag I felt like I was lacking to feel like I had a collection that satisfies all color/pattern wants. So, we ordered that with the matching Sarah wallet. Now, I know this is just a small collection to many of you that have lots and lots of these bags. But, for me this is a HUGE collection that I’ll have now in such a short amount of time. I feel so excited! My dream bag is the Artsy in the marine rouge or if they ever put out another white or brown, or a gray, then that’ll be it! But, that’ll be a long while now before that happens after all of this.
I’m excited to explore the site and see all of your beauties. I apologize for the long post but felt like I should make an intro as well as explain my extreme nose dive into the world of LV.

As you start using your items, you'll begin to know what you like/dislike. It's a fun experience. Very happy for you!
I would ask your StepMom because the only thing worse than hearing that she sold it would be hearing that she JUST sold it and if only you had asked her sooner. Please let us know if you acquire the piece and post lots of pics of all of them.
