You will. I can't say I regretted buying the Alma DE PM but it is just that I use it in the evenings. It is ok though. I also have the Speedy 25 mono which fits the essentials but the one I very much enjoy is the Speedy 30 DE B. I can't fill it up. And if feels so strange as one would say that 5 cm is not such a big difference. The Speedy 25 Emp also seems to fit more than my mono 25. How strange is that???

I think sometimes it really depends on the material. Perhaps the leather has more give and stretches more. Or perhaps it's like the epi speedy 25 which when measured really is about 27 or so. Perhaps, the speedy 25 Emp is INDEED slightly bigger. I don't have a speedy emp. That is one heavy bag.
 
I have a Kusama Speedy in green, which I am always not sure whether it is a good acquirement. I love the color pop, but have only use that bag once sofar since I tracked it down. Sometimes I am thinking of selling it to fund something else, but I just cannot part with it because it is limited edition and green (I love green!)... Crazy collectors tic. But I guess I am not alone with that...
 
I bought the Stresa in mono, because it was in new condition and only $ 500. I hated the big vachetta strap, so awkward and was getting scratched, dirty quickly. I ended up selling it for what I bought it for 3 months later.
 
I just might regret buying the Damier Azur Mini Pochette...well, it's sentimental because I bought it as a sweet little accessory for my wedding, but I never used it at my wedding. I just had it next to me in the dressing room! Anyway, I think it's gorgeous, and I've never used it after 6 months. I am afraid of getting it dirty with the things I might typically put in such a small accessory (keys, coins, etc). I just like taking it out of it's dust bag now and then to admire it. Gold against the colors used on the canvas is just so pretty.

I will probably never use it much...oh well :)
 
500$ was an amazing deal! Wow
I know..I managed to find 3 bags for $ 400- $500 (Cdn) which would be less than that in US funds. They were all authentic, and in new condition. The stresa, speedy 35 in azur, and never full MM in azur. I ended up selling them, all and regret selling the speedy and never full, because only a couple years later I see that I will likely not find these bags in excellent like new condition for $ 400-500. At the time, I thought that was about all they were worth.
 
DA Milla clutch. I loved the look of it but had problems fitting all my essentials. Bought a monogram pouchette soon after and used it a lot more especially as a cross body with a longer strap. I still do love the look of my milla but maybe I should have got a DA pouchette instead
Same here. I had the Milla DA and you really can't fit much inside it. Also, the brass plating scratches too easily and I found that the strap clasp would unclip just brushing up against it. Mine fell off a couple times because of that. Sold it for the DA mini pochette.
 
I don't want to go as far as saying I regret this purchase, but I just don't use my DE mini pochette as much as I thought I would.

Over time, I realized it is because I carry my essentials in the toiletry pouch 19. That little one holds everything I need!!

Tried to use the mini as a wallet, but I prefer having card slots. And I don't go out often enough to carry it as a wristlet.

It's just sitting in the closet now :(
I was just thinking about these two items today because I currently have DE mini pochette, but not the toiletry 19. I want the toiletry 19 to hold the things I have in my pochette so I can use my pochette for makeup and/or clutch only. In my pochette today.. I'm storing essentials that I can transfer from bag to bag (kleenex, hand cream, cuticle oil, lip balm, stain remover wipes, etc).. but it's full and doesn't fit my makeup that I'm wearing on a given day. I'd prefer the toiletry for those essentials and pochette for the makeup. :)
 
I regretted purchasing the ever popular Eva Clutch in Monogram and a vintage Petite Noe in epi red. Even though everyone says you can fit a lot in the Eva, I didn't find that to be true for what I carry. Typically I carry the same items in my small bags. But even when I went down to the bare minimum items to carry in the Eva, it was too small for me. As for the petite Noe, I found out quickly that I don't like bucket bags. Maneuvering my hand in and out of it was a terror for me. I sold both to consignment shops.
 
Papillon 30. It rolled all over the place! impractical.

Small Looping. Too small & awkward uncomfortable handle!

Speedy 25. Always felt like I was carrying a ridiculously small purse with an opening that was impossibly too small :(
 
Mobo Zippy Organizer - Way too big for an everyday wallet. I also felt like it wasn't very secure b/c it just flipped wide open when unzipped. I ordered it online so luckily I was able to return it. I have future plans of trying the zippy wallet.
