My First LV bag was the Speedy B 30 in Monogram. I had it for a year but used it 5x only. Since it was my first LV, I went with what I thought was the most 'classic'. Then, shortly after I bought it, I started worrying about the vachetta. I wasnt in Purse Forum then and I didn't know there are lots also who hate the darkening vachetta. I got rid of it and replaced it with a Speedy B 25 DE and an LV retiro noir. I bought these bags just months ago but used them more than I ever did my LV speedy B Mono. I'm keeping my Eva in Mono though. Aging vachettas in smaller bags doesnt bother me as much as those in bigger bag models.
Which LV purchase did you regret?

I found the Retiro NM Noir too heavy for everyday use and I worry all the time if it slouches in time. But I get lots of compliments on this bag and I just couldn't let go of it!
My first lv purchase was the epi pochette accessoire in blue. It was a beautiful blue but it was too small for me so sold it 2 years later after it sat too long in the dustbag. Then in 2008 I bought a preloved epi leather petit now in gold fawn. It was so beautiful I loved the epi leather but finding things in the bag was a nightmare. I still like be the shape of the classic nor but unfortunately the petit now size is not for me. I sold it after trying to make it work for me for 4 years. I had to let go of it. Then my work horse bag was the Saumur 30. Loved it to death but it's so worn out now I'm setting it aside to send for repair.
I also regretted getting the empreinte speedy B 25 although I loved the aurore colour, the bag was too heavy for me and could not fit my daily essentials as I always need to bring my kids' stuffs in my bag as I hate carrying a separate diaper bag. I sold that as well.
Now I'm left with my favorite speedy B 30 in DA which is lightweight and so versatile n my turenne MM which can fit the same amount of junk as my speedy b 30. I'll purchase another empreinte bag in the future but will choose something small like a crossbody bag or an epi leather crossbody.

For me my speedy B 30 can fit around 4 pcs of diapers, baby wipes, a small to medium size hot thermo flask, a baby bottle,a small container for snacks and my phone and wallet. But if u are still nursing your child it'll be easier as u don't need the hot thermo Flask or baby bottle.
I'm nursing my third child and my second child is already a toddler who doesn't drink formula milk so sometimes I pack his lunch into the bag as well without any thermo flask or bottle. He will bring his own water bottle or I get my first born to carry it with her.
The best 'diaper/mommy' bag is definitely my Prada nylon tote. It can be worn as a tote or a crossbody. It has a zipper which I prefer so the things don't fall out. One of the reasons I still don't buy a Neverfull as a diaper bag. But if speedy b 35 works better for u then I say go for it in the ebene coz not everyone is like me, can deal with dark patina on my vachetta of my azur. For my turenne MM it gets a bit heavier compared to my speedy B with the same items in the bag.

Without a doubt, the Neverfull. I adore mine. So durable and lightweight
I'm so glad you posted this. I've been going back and forth trying to decide between de speedy B 25/30 or the Siena pm. I think I've decided on de speedy b 30 since I usually carry a lot of things. I like that the speedy B can be carried crossbody or shoulder bag.
They have been known to do repairs on retired bags for up to ten years (from what an SA told me). Even though they don't produce the bag itself anymore, they can still get parts (although this varies from SA to SA). And in the case of glazing issues, they can repair the strap and handles because it's just glazing they'd be replacing. So they just put new glazing on your leather pieces. It's been common for women to just be offered a credit note for a whole new bag. I've heard women on the forum get offered credit notes because their SA said they can't have it repaired. Then other women have said they've gotten it repaired with no problems. Hope it gets sorted out for you
I am fine with the glazing if done properly and it doesn't get damaged again! The thing is that the strap and the handles have become so sticky that it's coming on to my clothes and the leather can be seen from inside !!!

I regretted the PM agenda. It was my fault and did not realize there was sizes when I bought it used. Therefore, I kept it but never found paper to fit into it. I recently gave it to DD and she was hole punching paper to fit inside. Such a waste of a LV item, but happy it was not expensive.
So here's an update LV gave me a store credit for $2860 for my Speedy empriente! I'm so relieved now as I was really worried!They have been known to do repairs on retired bags for up to ten years (from what an SA told me).
