I initially bought the Neverfull GM in DE 3 years ago as a diaper bag. But then my baby was 3 months premature with severe problems. Now that I stay at home, I have no use for such a big bag. All I do is take my boys to school and some grocery shopping. I use my speedy and other smaller LV bags more. It's been sitting in my closet for 3 years now and never used once. It is such a big bag I have no idea what to use it for. I already have a diaper bag. It is just way too big!

Oh bless your heart, so sorry your baby was so premature. My oldest son was 1 1/2 mo. Early and that was so hard. Luckily I already had been given medication to help his lungs develope bc he tried to come even sooner than that! He was in the hospital for a month before he was released. I can't imagine your situation. Hope all is well!!! I know have 3 little stinky boys! 😉 Love them to pieces!
Anyway, same here I just use smaller bags now for picking up my boys from school & grocery store/mall. Have you looked into the LV Mabillon ?! I think that would work perfectly for you needs! I purchased mine a few days ago & decided to keep it! I love the hidden compartment for keys/phone! Plus it has a zippered compartment & button compartment! It has a cute , casual look! I'm definitely keeping it! Maybe u could sell your bag , LV holds its value very well, & maybe help fund a new purchase that you will get lots of use from! I also really enjoyed my Twice/Twinset! :)

The leather has started sagging and I no longer like the way it looks, it's only about 6 months old. I've only carried it a few times because I find it feels heavy after a while. This is just my experience. Many others do love it. I think it's beautiful, it's just not for me.

Thxs for ur honest response. I have the Estrella which is the sister to this bag, mine is heavy at times too. I still love it but hardly carry it because it seems so big (bumps into people in when shopping in aisles). I reserve her for travel now.

The jewelry roll. It just can't hold more than a few pieces without it becoming impossible to roll back up or messing up the pieces. I returned it and got this beauty instead... the Monte Carlo! I love how it's designed to fit in a hotel safe and has so much space for every kind of jewelry without tearing it up!

I just love this piece, it's perfect for travelling:love:

Thanks Manda! I appreciate your kind words. My youngest of two boys who was premature is almost 3 now but his development is only at 18 months. He is a little bit behind and some health issues but considering he is our sunshine. He makes us laugh every day and I guess he couldn't wait to see the world.

I just went today to take a look at the twice in black and it is gorgeous! The size is perfect to run errands through out the day and the cross body is great for hands free function so I can carry the boys. Thanks for the great recommendation! I might consider selling the neverfull to get this because I know I won't be using it. 😃

My greatest LV regret purchases are:


The Eva Clutch. I found it way too small to carry anything in there since it tapers inwards towards the top. I used mine twice and sold it. I just wish the Favorite had a zip closure instead of a magnetic flap.


The Insolite Organizer wallet. You cannot overstuff this wallet at all because if you do, you're unable to keep the wallet closed. Also, I couldn't handle standing at the store after paying - a long line of customers behind me - and me fiddling with my wallet trying to snap the buttons shut! I also disliked that I had to open the wallet completely just to get a card out. It's such a beautiful looking item, but very impractical for me.

Not too long ago, I purchased a Mono Trocedaro 27. At first I was all excited for it... I couldn't wait to have a smaller "bum around" bag, and I wanted to wear it like a swing pack...

HOWEVER... It turned out to be waaaaaaaaay to small for a 6'7" guy... and I looked... silly... needless to say, I sold it to my best friend for $60. (He def got it for a steal)

So my question to you is: What LV purchase (if any) did you regret the MOST, and what did you do too fix the problem?

I regret getting a preloved Galliera PM that was beaten up. I nursed her back to decent health but just couldn't get passed the blackening from the brass rings. I have sold her since...

Don't know if you still have the IO wallet...but when I use mine, I put my most used CC card in the zippered compartment for quick easy access to it. Maybe this will help?

I feel the same about the Eva and cant commit myself to purchase the Favorite bc that magnetic flap really bothers me. I so regret not purchasing the Venice when it was available. I could had used that bag as shoulder or crossbody bag

Thank you for the suggestion, however I did end up selling this wallet. It drove me nuts as I couldn't use it as my regular wallet. I instead had to use it as a travel wallet only and I hated opening it wide all the time and then taking the time to snap the buttons close. It just seemed too bothersome a piece to keep...
