I'm apologizing in advance for bombing this group with posts like this but I do find your feedback so helpful! If I could, I would keep all of my bags but I've been struggling with the need to sell a piece as I purchased too many bags at once and will be on maternity leave this summer with baby #3. This was definitely poor planning smh! Based on my past posts, I decided not to sell the options I inquired about because I really do use them and I think you were all right in telling me to keep them haha.
I'm deciding between my 2 Alma BB's
I have it in DE and Black Epi.
I LOVE both! DE is really the only canvas option that speaks to me. I have the Neverfull MM and Speedy B25 in DE. Those bags are keepers because they function well for mom life and I also use my Neverfull for work. The Speedy B25 has a totally different function but one could argue that it is very close to the Alma BB style. I love having a piece of Epi leather from LV and would be sad to part with it. I like how edgy it looks with the chunky silver hardware and it also gives a nod to the more quiet luxury vibe if I'm going for that look. I'm leaning towards parting with my DE Alma BB for these reasons.
Below, is my modest bag collection for reference. I sold off so many contemporary bags to start my luxury collection and I'm actually at purse peace right now which is nice because my choices were good BUT the timing was bad since I won't be working. Not that you have to match jewelry to hardware BUT for reference, I am a Tiffany's silver girl hence the draw to silver hardware bags.
LV:
Neverfull MM in DE
Speedy B25 in DE
Alma BB in DE
Alma BB in Black EPi
YSL:

Mini Lou Camera Bag in Dark Beige
Contemporary:

Longchamp Nylon backpack black with silver hardware
Longchamp City Tote in coated canvas - Black with silver hardware.
Thanks in advance!!

but I voted you sell the Alma in EPI. I added an EPI pochette felicie in my collection feeling that I needed EPI in my collection (I know sounds silly lol) but ended up selling it because at the end of the day I really love LV canvas, and it sounds like you love the DE print. Good luck deciding sweetheart and we support you whatever you decide
. And God bless you on expecting your 3rd child. Children are God's most precious gifts
let us know what you decided!
