I just got lucky one morning early on the website last week. They keep popping up if you’re interested in the PA you might be able to get it. Agree that the rose ballerine interior is so beautiful though!

I would go with the Felicie -- no vachetta to worry about, the chain can be doubled up for shoulder wear, and the two SLGs make it a great value. I also think it's a great day-to-evening piece, whereas the Double Zip is more of a daytime/casual bag IMO.
the glazing on my pochette metis peeled after 2 years of constant use. Do you think the felicie will have this issue because of the flap?
functionality wise, i prefer the double zip because of its zipper opening and it comes with a detachable vachetta strap. (I already have an alternative gold chain strap) but i have not tried one on in store because the azur is always out of stock. I am going on the personal shopper route
yes the felicie looks cute but i am not yet set on it because it might be too small and the flap closure might be a hassle for me.
I have a toy loulou with a flap closure and I seldomly use it now because of its flap closure and no exterior pockets. I tend to use the pochette accessoires in monogram ever since I got it
The PA. It’s a great small size, cheaper than both, and can fit more than both. I use the MPA khaki strap with mine, or a gold chain. Its one of my favorite summer bags.
The ZCP will not comfortably fit in either the Felicie or double zip, but fits great in the PA.

Just for reference, the Felicie fits about half the amount of the toy loulou. With the canvas version of the Felicie, the sides of the flap will start to curl up over time as well. You may want to also consider the croisette. It’s fits a similar amount to the PA.
I would totally get the PA if I could! But boutiques here in our country (the Philippines) does not accept deposits for canvas items anymore and stocks are next to none. We also do not have an LV website. And personal shoppers prices are already insane. A PA is already in the USD1,000 range when converted
I can imagine the flaps curling that’s why I am looking at the double zip. The DZ is almost like a PA but it’s thinner. Bummer.
I have the DZP in empriente. It’s a very easy grab and go bag. Here are some pics of the ZCP inside the DZP. It does fit, and looks fine when closed. It does take up a decent amount of space though. There’s a built in card holder and pocket in one of the pouch sides. The pocket fits a cardholder. That would take up less space than the ZCP. I have the DA cardholder with blue, but they have one with pink as well.
Thank you for the photos! I can see the zcp takes up much space so I should consider another azur slg. The azur daily cardholder is a good alternative. an easy grab and go bag is what I’m looking for. What are your thoughts on the azur double zip?
Actually i like the double zip more than the felicie because the DZ would get more use for my lifestyle. But felicie looks prettier. I dont have the chance to try the DZ in store yet as it’s always out of stock.
I think it would be a great essentials summer bag. And if you happen to have the pink MPA strap, it’d look amazing with it. A gold chain is also a nice alternative if you don’t want to use the vachetta strap.
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. I've had my first Felicie for about two years now and I have no wear and tear, but I don't use it all that often (it's black Empreinte so it's more of a special occasion/night out bag for me). If you're concerned about that (and if you end up getting the Felicie), you might want to be sure to open it from the very center, close to the button, rather than from the sides. That might help.
I would probably go with the Dzp in azur if I haven’t purchased my PA azur. I think it even looks cuter than the PA azur because of the pink interior and the center vachetta tab on the front Pochette.
I also own the felicie in mono and the chain can be quite uncomfortable when wearing summer clothes - tank tops and off shoulders.
Good luck on choosing your first azur bag! Azur is my favorite print
