Ok so I’ve a pretty big thing for handbags. I feel they really make an outfit, and it’s an added bonus that they always fit, even if I’ve gained weight! Anyway, I have quite an extensive collection already, ranging from Givenchy to Mulberry to LuLu Guinness, to Marc Jacob, to Coach, to Kate Spade, to Coccinelle to DKNY to various other designers to high street and to TK Maxx. I’ve coveted a Louis Vuitton neverfull for years but often felt I couldn’t justify the money (even though my Givenchy and some of my Mulberrys were dearer, but for some reason I always baulked at spending on a neverfull). Well. I baulk no more. I decided to get one recently after unexpectedly getting some money. So, off I went over the weekend, and ordered one. It wasn’t in stock in the department store so they have ordered it for me and I should have it Thursday. I was so giddy with excitement and I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. However, once I got home I was browsing the LV website, purely to get a link to the bag to send my friend, and I saw another one which I loved. The Lymington. Impulsively I ordered that online. So I’m the space of two hours i’ve gone from owning no LV bag to owning two!

Both should be here on Thursday or Friday at the latest.

I’m so excited that I had to share! Indulge me please Grin

Place marking. I’ve been salivating over websites I can afford 🤦‍♀️

That is so gorgeous! I really want one now! Can anyone tell me if the side laces tend to get caught on door handles etc?
When I was in the shop last week I looked at a neverfull in the original print, just to get an idea of size etc. The shop assistant showed me that by tightening the straps it became almost a bucket bag. I tried doing that with mine today and didn’t quite manage it, but I was rushing cos I just popped out at lunch to collect it and open it. I’ll try properly later.

Yes, I know that post in no way answers your question but I just wanted to talk about my new bag Grin

@sammylady37 so glad you love it! Could we have more photos please?

Ninkanink · 03/06/2021 16:04

@Abracadabra12345

If you’re anywhere near London, the Victoria & Albert Museum are holding an exhibition called “Inside Out” and it’s all about bags, bags and bags.....
Oh I wish I lived near London!

@Mirrorxx that’s gorgeous! ❤️

AdoraBell · 03/06/2021 18:30

MIrrorxx

That’s what I want Envy what size is your bag? If you don’t mind because asking?

Mirrorxx · 03/06/2021 18:46

@AdoraBell it’s jumbo/large.

Ninkanink · 03/06/2021 19:00

Like OP I’ve always loved the neverfull but never bitten the bullet. However I might make it my next holiday bag (if I ever have another holiday abroad...)! I think the Damier Azur looks fantastic in the sun. But I also really love the Damier Ebene, especially with that cherry red interior...

Ninkanink · 03/06/2021 19:01

I don’t even look at Chanel or Dior! 😂 not in my budget at all unless I really, really saved hard! I keep thinking I’d love one from either of those houses for my 50th...

Ireolu · 03/06/2021 19:06

Another person that has thought on a off about neverfull as it is a very useful popular tote but have not bitten the bullet. Glad you love yours OP. Enjoy and use in good health.

Ireolu · 03/06/2021 19:08

@ByThePool2021 adulthood sucks. Put paid to my bag buying antics. Mortgage and small child will do that I guess. Enjoy your new kirigami. The by the pool collection is very pretty indeed!

Ireolu · 03/06/2021 19:12

@Mirrorxx nice jumbo. The weight is crazy though. One thing to be mindful of with those bags is that the red leather (lamb) lining scratches. So keys may cause a problem. Good excuse to buy a nice key holder. Enjoy and wear in good health. And do pls post if you buy more bags so we can all live vicariously.

Chrysanthemum5 · 03/06/2021 19:26

Definitely post more pictures and we look forward to seeing the second one! Very jealous I have some lovely bags but can't afford any now so will live through your excitement

FourteenthDoctor · 03/06/2021 19:26

Oh I forgot - who wants to see my new Lois Vuitton? Well it actually was a replacement for my speedy empriente which literally melted (you should of seen my face when I got it out of the dust bag!) it was a bonding on the leather apparently-I bought it in 2016 and they exchanged it no problem!

FourteenthDoctor · 03/06/2021 19:26

I'll try and find some pics of the damage

FourteenthDoctor · 03/06/2021 19:29

Ok so here's the pics of damage

The first is with the strings tightened to make it more bucket bag shaped, but I prefer the strings looser and the tote bag shape.

Chrysanthemum5 · 03/06/2021 19:36

Lovely ☺️ I hope you really enjoy it

sammylady37 · 03/06/2021 19:40

Thanks everyone! I’ve actually been a bit giddy all afternoon thinking about it. I’m busy planning what I’ll wear tomorrow with it.

I love the Neverful but wanted something which closed at the top when I bought a tote so I decided on the Graceful in DE. Here it is.

@FourteenthDoctor did they send you a brand new Speedy then?
