After reading posts here ,I've been wondering how many of y'all out there have gone into LV to buy a specific item,and decided against it and why ?

Mine is the mono mm artsy !
In Dec. 2010 , I went to the store, tried it on and HATED it. The handle was hard and I couldn't stand how it rubbed under my armpit . I was heartbroken.
Well after posting on here about it and the feedback I got from y'all ,I bit the bullet when I found a preloved one in May / June last year. It was in EUC and already broken it ! Couldn't be happier with it !
 
Eva - I thought about buying it multiple times and I even asked and got it for Christmas. But had to take it back. It's just me. The chain and strap have always bothered me.
 
Last year I found a pre-love LV Mizi Vienna Noir that was in excellent condition. I ordered it and when it arrived I was so excited, even arrange with the UPS driver to meet so I wouldn't miss it's delivery. When I opened the box I just didn't feel that "wow" that I usually feel. I kept it for about 2 days but shipped it bag to Yoogi's (they have such great customer service). I just didn't feel any love for it even though it was a beautiful bag. I haven't regretted returning either.
 
For me it was the Empriente Lumi in Infini.

I was 100% sure I was going to get it after reading about the reviews/info on TpF and was going to get it in London while visiting but after seeing it IRL and trying it out in my local boutique, I just didn't like it as much. I found it to be too bulky and looked funny on me when wearing cross-body style which was a shame because I really wanted to like it! Plus I couldn't even fit the shorter handles over my shoulder and I only had a thin coat on at that time. It felt way too smug and uncomfortable.

So instead, I used the money I would've spent on the Lumi on the Eva clutch, Idylle Speedy and Vernis ZCP and I couldn't be happier!
 
For me its the Eva, I love how it looks, I went in the store ready to buy one, tried it one and had it in my hand but I walked out with a Stole and cles instead that day.. hehe.. I was seriously considering/day dreaming about the Eva, again the other day.. and decided to buy a pre loved Saumur 30 in mint condition! Im so excited I cant wait to get that bag.. Its funny, the saumur has always been a bag I admired, but never bit the bullet on it because I have an Odeon GM.. but after seeing the Spring/Summer 2012 cruise, and how great it looks, I couldnt get it out of my head! I decided I'd look for a pre loved and this one is a beauty, I couldnt let it get away. I cant wait to get her!
 
Eva: couldn't find one Made In France. Opted for a Pochette instead and very glad I did! Love it.

Black Multicolor Speedy: love how the bag looks, just don't know if I'll ever wear it. Still on the fence.

Bisten: opted to buy other bags with the amount I would have spent.
 
Sully. I wanted something from LV that could rotate with my MBMJ Hillier, but it just didn't feel right. I ended up leaving with a vernis ZCP instead. It was a first for me. Will be checking out the Artsy next.
 
Azur Totally MM--last year I wanted an Azur tote really badly. I didn't really like the Totally but didn't want the NF due to the skinny straps! I went to LV and tried on the Totally and felt nothing- no spark or any kind of love! I finally decided to give the NF a chance and fell immediately in love!!! I loved it when it first came out but avoided it--now I'm hooked--I love the NF!!
 
Mono Speedy B 30, I liked it in photos and everything but when I wore it and tried it on in store, it didn't really attract me and for some reason it felt like wearing that made me look old.. was never really a fan of the monogram line until I bought the mini pochette recently, next came a Delightful PM!
