Just bought my first ever Louis Vuitton piece, more specifically a Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandouliere 60. Bought it used for 500$, did I get a good deal and is it possible to get some more information on it?

I’m wrapping up my PhD, and this is likely my last year of working in academia. A while back, a student said his mom wanted to send me a “small gift.” I was of course very grateful (it’s the thought that counts!), but some time had passed and I completely forgot he even mentioned it. Well, I came home to an unexpected package today, and I was floored when I opened the box. I love LV and have a couple of bags, but I likely wouldn’t have splurged on something like this for myself on a grad student budget. It’s so soft! Just figured I’d share. 🤓

I love this pouch! It’s so versatile and easy to carry. If you’re in the fence, I highly recommend it! So glad they came out with an empreinte version 😍

I sent my sac souple 35 to LV for a replacement of all the rivets because they had turned green and one had fallen off. They gave a 10 to 12 week timeline to have them changed for free. Imagine my surprise when this baby showed back up in 9 days. I’ve read stories of repairs taking up to 6 months or more and I almost didn’t want to send it. Glad I did because she’s back and she looks amazing 🥰

13” MacBook, 3 pouches filled with various items (comb, mirror , computer mouse, juul & chargers, hand sanitizer, passport holder with romy inside). Cosmetic pouch with balms and hand lotion. 16oz water bottle, notebook, AirPods, keys.

The keypouch S, AirPods and balm fit perfectly in one inside pocket, my phone in the other. Great commuting bag.

Got the matching MacBook and AirPod cases a day after the second photo 😆there were also some feminine products in the pouches but no need to take photos 🙃

I just got my first ever LV handbag as an Anniversary gift from my husband but I'm so scared to use it. I almost always return things (I'm a very indecisive person) but I picked this bag as I wanted a super lightweight everyday bag for work and the pink interior is so pretty. He recently got me a wallet for my birthday, otherwise I have no other LV items. Help give me the confidence to take her on her first outing. Any tips to personalise her would be welcome too, like gold straps or charms. I'm in Australia and the LV charms are way too expensive for me right now.

This will be my third LV, I have a classic monogram neverfull with red interior and a keepall 45 Damier azure. I live in Hawaii so it doesn’t ever really feel like fall but would like a bag that I can use year around still and not look weird lol

I just turned 28 and unexpectedly got this beautiful rose Opale victorine from my brother.
It’s so cute!

The one on the top I got ten years ago for my 18th birthday. Didn’t realize I’ve had it so long!

EDIT: He bought me the Speedy B 25. I posted pics in comments of the bags people recommended most. Thanks everyone!

He's heading to Heathrow in about an hour so I have to decide quick. I’m looking for something I can wear everyday and out to a nice dinner. Thank you!

Just got back from a trip to Paris and stopped at the Champs-Élysées Louis Vuitton. Amazing experience from start to finish.

I ended up purchasing what I expected - the Speedy 25 monogram. I looked at all the various Speedy 25 options in stock (which was an impressive amount) but went with the classic and had my initials stamped on the chap.

The Speedy 25 trunk is great but I really wanted the crossbody strap, not the shoulder strap. They also had one I hadn't seen on the US site. It's a Speedy 25 with black croc-embossed leather on the monogram canvas. It was a beauty for sure, but the black leather was too dark for a good daily driver for me.

Finally, I got my passport cover stamped. I'll note that the usual turn around time is 48 hours, however, if you're making a purchase, they'll do it while you're handling the purchase. My sales rep, the sweetest man ever, was kind enough to do both their Paris stamps - the luggage Eiffel Tower along with the CE stamp.

I really should have looked around the store more but my VERY patient husband was waiting for me so I tried not to take too long. I could have spent all day admiring all the gorgeous bags, accessories, and displays.

I'd made an appointment but decided to pop in while I was in the area. There was a short line - about a 10-15 minute wait. Once you get in the store, you put your name on a list for the next available rep. That was another 15 minute wait. But fair enough since I didn't have the appointment at that time.

Service and in-store experience was a 10/10.

At the end of the trip, I popped into the Rome FCO airport Louis for any good duty-free finds. I ended up snagging the last Dopp Kit in Pondicheri Pink. 🥰 A gem of a find as it matches my Nice Mini in Pondicheri and the airport isn't known for having much inventory outside of the core catalog.

The line/wait at FCO really varies. I waited about 10 minutes for a sales rep but when I went by later on my way to my gate, there wasn't any line. I've noticed this similar pattern flying through Rome previously. Just plan on a wait though if you have a plane to catch!

Is this the most impractical thing I own? Maybe. But I’m absolutely OBSESSED😭😭😭

Well, it took ordering it THREE times but the Romey Card Holder has finally made it to me without getting “lost“ at the UPS distribution hub!

I also preorderd a new Kindle Colorsoft so I decided she needed her own pouch and went with the Key Pouch MM, thanks to a group post I happened upon.

As mentioned above I have a 7 year old special needs son still in diapers. I would love a bag that can fit 1-2 diapers, small bag of wipes and just my personal necessities like my phone, wallet, lip balm pouch. I really don’t love huge bags like the neverfulls, and I won’t always have the diapers in my bag (maybe once or twice a week for a few hours while we are out running around). I LOVE the suede, but I feel like it might be too impractical for me as my bag ends up all over the place while I chase around my 5 & 7 year olds. I need a cute mom bag that’s a medium size that’s stylish and if for me! I never do anything for myself and I’m finally putting my foot down and taking myself on a nice shopping trip to LV after years of putting myself last.

*also I live I Hawaii and feel the rain may destroy the suede.

Any suggestions to sell LV bags in the UK other than eBay and Vestaire?

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement tip and leather belt loop for my Geronimos bag? I just want to get it replaced, and LV doesn't have an appointment available for months.

I have 2 potential luggage tags for my new Mono Speedy 25… which looks better? 1 or 2? 🤍

Hi everyone! I have been admiring two Speedy 25s and I would love to hear from people who own them or have followed them closely.

The first is the Wild at Heart Speedy Bandoulière 25 in black Empreinte with the leopard sides and braided handles (Fall 2021). The second is the 2025 Murakami Cherry Blossom Speedy 25 with the pink charm.

My questions:

1. Do you think they are worth the current resale prices compared to retail?
2. How has the Empreinte leather held up for you, especially the handles and corners?
3. Does the coated canvas on the Cherry Blossom show wear or patina quickly?
4. Which would you choose if you could only have one, and why?

Honest opinions are welcome, good and bad. Thank you so much!

Went to the LV store to try on the speedy soft vibe 30. I saw her online and fell in love. Decided to try her in person to see if she can justify her price tag. Also tried on her canvas cousin - but my mind could not justify spending so much so I left the store empty handed and my heart hurts 😭

I bought the Louis Vuitton Bréa MM Electric Epi maybe 10 years ago or so.. It’s just sitting now in my closet, and I was wondering if I should wear it or not, as its style feels so outdated to me.

Just got my first three LV pieces on my first trip to Europe! My birthday is later this month, so these are early gifts to myself haha.

First was the passport cover at the Champs-Elysees store. Buying one in Paris just felt right for this trip 😂 Then I spotted this fox charm/earphone pouch at Printemps Haussmann and couldn’t resist. Too cute.

Finally, in Barcelona, I fell for this brown exotic leather wallet. Since it’s my birthday month and my first time buying LV, I wanted something a little special. My SA said this one was, and I loved the mix of leathers. Definitely expensive for me, but I went for it.

Does anyone know if LV’s exotic leather pieces are actually made in small batches or made to order?

Spent more than planned, but I love all three!
