I regret I purchased my Speedy 30 Bandouliere in damier ebene. I bought it last summer and loved it all through december until I sold it at a very good price, I think.



1) the opening is so narrow that I could barely fit a aweater or my daighter''s jacket into it or find anything there.



2) in summer when it was hot, the sharp edges of the strap stuck into my shoulder. A very painful feeling, and the skin on my shoulder was red and sore. :cry: I did not overstuff my bag and had only regular items that I usually take with me.



3) after 6 months of delicate but regular wear I started to notice a tiny crack on the canvas near the interior pocket. :wtf: On the edges I could see the red lining sticking through. I could not believe my eyes, cos my SA told that the bag is so durabble that my daughter will inherit after me. :pout: :tdown:



I'm happy I was able to quickly sell it at a very good price, cos the cracks were barely noticeable.



The quality is becoming poor indeed


Really?! This is my absolute favorite bag! Especially because I can fit so much! lol I'm sorry you weren't able to enjoy it [emoji17]
 
damier azur pochette, such a gorgeous thing but too small for use personally alone as a bag, and does not look at all like a clutch to me. I have considered it for toss around use inside my big bags, but i'm so scared it will get super soiled because it's such a light color and the strap is vachetta. so.. it's been sitting in a dust bag and box. as it has been for nearly 6 years. i need to just bite the bullet and use it...
 
I was thinking about exchanging my mono one for the vernis. Bad idea then?
I had a the pomme vernis 4 hey holder and it held up for the longest time. No changes in color or transfer but the film that goes over the leather (the patent stuff?) will peel in certain areas, not noticeable unless you hold it up to the light. Most used, most loved LV piece though. If you go for a darker color maybe the wear and tear won't be as noticeable!
 
I regretted buying my Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM in monogram. My shoulder is a bit bad, so it was too big and heavy for me personally. I should have picked the MM in DE instead.

I sold it and did ok with the sale since I had purchased back in 2012 (before this item shot up in price).
 
Speedy b 25 in de. The opening was too small and I didn't like fishing around for things. I could have bought a bag organizer but I refused to thinking a bag that already cost as much shouldn't need even more $$ to make it functional. I know a lot of ppl use shapers and organizers. I was happy to sell it and used it to fund a structured bag.
 
Milla clutch monogram last year. I have used it once. I bought it to keep in my Noe BB on the D ring when city roaming for security, but haven't used it for that.
Maybe I should give it another go?
Any tips on how I can use this more?

I hadn't used mine much as well. I currently repurposed it to hold travel size wipes, Chapstick, band aids, and couple of feminine products. Could also use it for iPhone case or eyeglasses case. The chain can be unhooked and stored in the interior little pocket. HTH :)

Thanks for ideas!!! I will give it another go:) I got a long LV adjustable strap when I got it to use it crossbody, but felt it was too small, so I used that on the Pochette Accessoires. The PA doesn't fit in the BB, so that's why I got the Milla. I guess it is good to have a pouch for valuables when around pick pocketeures! Thanks a bunch for tips! I will be implementing them and give them all a try. Such a pretty piece! Love the canvas on these! Thanks!!!!🙏

Oh yah, you reminded me (I obviously haven't used it this way in awhile)...can also use the dragonne wrist thingy, or chain key chain on it to use as wristlet. I had also purchased an Eva strap I can use on it (and use it on my favorite mm) for days when just a phone and a cc card is needed.

I have owned the same key holder since 2008 and it still looks new with the exception of just a very slight glazing issue on one of the corners.

really?? wow.... I wonder if I was just extremely careless with mine and I battered it a lot or if it's an anomaly, or if this commonly happens over a long period of time. But I don't believe mine outlived yours if you're still using yours. I think I used mine every day for around 4 years I think... Here are some pictures of my best LV (why best? bc I didn't worry about babying it, it made me happy every time to see it, it was my red rebellion - I don't really like red but this was too hot to pass, and I thoroughly used it - unlike some of my other things :balloon: )
