Hands down... I regret getting my Emillie Wallet.. It's cute to look at but I need more card slots and I feel it's to long... I like smaller compact wallets like the old Zippy Compact Wallet...

I regret my pre loved Verona GM. I thought I wanted a GM bag but it's just too big for me. I'm considering keeping it for weekend getaways but sadly it'll probably live most it's life in the dust bag if I do :(.

Not at the point of regret but hoping I didn't make a bad decision. The round coin purse. I got it for coin and folded up bills. Mostly bills. But the bills get stuck in the zipper sometimes. I haven't used it enough to know for sure that it was a mistake but can't return it at this point.

I'm with you on this. It's just not big enough for bills & too small, really, for me to keep a decent amount of change in it. I use mine now to store my earbuds. It keeps them from tangling and the case is slim so it fits perfectly in my purse pocket.

I regret buying my eva monogram. When I bought from lv store I did not even check other pochette of similar size. I bought it after I saw a lady trying the eva. Now I think the eva pochette remind me so much of school pencil case I used to have. Totally not elegant for evening bag. So forced myself to use few times only. Now my eva has not been used for so many months.

Me too! I loved it after seeing it on another lady. I didn't even look at anything else when I went into LV to purchase. I wish that I had. The gold emblem on the front bothers me now. It's too small to hold anything & I hate the chain beating against the canvas when I walk wearing it as a cross body.
I've tried putting the chain inside the bag but tangles on anything I have in it. I do love the length of the crossbody strap, though (I'm 5'10"). I'm loving the Favorite MM. But I have other LV's on my wish list ahead of her first.

+1 on DE Eva

I bought it when it first came out and I realized it was too small for me so I sold it. Then someone got me the same bag a few years later and I sold it again LOL

It's a cute bag, but I don't think it's for me. I'm 5'5"/size 2 and I don't think it looks good on me when I wear it cross body. Also, I hated how the plate gets all scratched up.

I wonder how you ladies use your mini pochette? I went to Mykonos last year and bought a limited edition pochette. I was in a hurry and wanted a souvenir so I just grab and go. Love the look...but it's so small! Can't even fit my Samsung Note 5. Doesn't make sense if I need to carry 2 wristlet for errands, one for phone and the LV for others. .... so it's now at the bottom of my drawer 😧

It is perfect inside of so many bags, for chargers, for lady products, makeup... don't sell it, because it will be handy for some things. A regular size pochette is what you may want. That will hold it all, can add a longer strap for a crossbody when traveling, also use it in your larger bags and totes. I love them both and think they are essential!:smile1:

My Totem Neverfull. When I purchased it, I was getting ready for a trip to Santa Fe, and thought it would fit right in. Total impulse buy. I have not carried it since that trip. I feel like it's always staring at me lol! I fell in love with the colors. I bought the matching wallet and charm. I still love those.

I just picked up the Neverfull with the Pivione interior. The wallet and charm look great with that bag.

I'm trying to avoid all impulse buys in the future. I'm now forcing myself to go home and think about a bag so as to avoid mistakes in the future!

I was worried about scratching the plate too, so I didn't use my eva a lot when I first got it. But then I read somewhere on this forum that people use phone protectors to protect the plate. I tried this and it seems to work very well. I enjoy this bag a lot now. It's a great size for occasions when you don't want to carry a lot of stuff with you, the size of the strap is just right for me to wear it cross body and it's a very versatile purse. I wear it as a clutch for dressy occasions and with the cross body strap for everyday use.

I was tempted to buy one because I read so many positive reviews on thie mini pochette. But when I saw it at the store, it seemed so small I didn't know what I could possibly do with it. For make-up, I would prefer to buy a make-up pouch, as it has a washable interior. For my phone, it's also too small. And it looks just too small as a clutch or crossbody purse IMO.

I've learned that what works for most people might not work for me. I let mine go for the same reasons. I sold mine and will replace it with a cosmetic pouch which I will use every single day.

This thread is so interesting! I regretted and sold my DA favorite MM (not quite spacious enough for me) and my vintage yellow epi st jacques (also not spacious enough--the interior has an awkward shape that makes it hard to carry much). I have sold many LV pieces, but these two were the biggest disappointments in terms of being non user friendly.

I agree. I just got the mini-p yesterday and it is already packed up to return. Too small to be of any use to me; I'd rather use the $$ on a larger piece.
