Louis Vuitton Neverfull

Flutterbye22 · 01/09/2023 20:44

I am considering treating myself to one of these Louis Vuitton bags.

  1. https://uk.louisvuitton.com/eng-gb/products/neverfull-mm-damier-ebene-008116/N41358

or

  1. https://uk.louisvuitton.com/eng-gb/products/neverfull-mm-monogram-007653/M40995

which do you prefer?

also I’m wondering whether to buy directly from store brand new or look at the second hand market… just concerned about authenticity.

Just went down a Loewe rabbit hole. There is a large leather folding puzzle tote that many of you may like based on preferences expressed here. I was typically drawn to the bag that looks like ikea and bag for life had a baby which I could wear totally unironically. Ultimately I still haven’t found anything that meets my needs better than the neverfull GM.

Not read the full thread but has anyone mentioned Goyard St Louis?
I have both MM neverfull and a St Louis and I much prefer it. Just seems more stylish now.
The straps of the MM really cut into you if it's full, and it's soooo open, I dare not take the a crowd

The St Louis canvas is not as durable as LV and this particular Goyard model has got weaknesses like the corners rubbing and opening up (they will need to be reinforced at one point)and the straps often crack if people carry heavy stuff. On top of it Goyard is not helpful or responsive when things go wrong. The only Chanel bags at that price are going to secondhand and possibly not in great condition or really dated style-wise.

If you like the Neverfull I’d also recommend the Yves Saint Laurent shopping tote:

Presumably you don't own this bag?

Yes it looks nice but it's not comparable to a NF
I have it in oxblood and a coworker has it in black. Both of our bags straps were destroyed within a year from carrying a lightweight laptop wallet keys and phone.

When I went into ysl to get mine repaired the arsehole french SA chastised me on the basis "eet ees not for putting big sings een". He then tried to charge me almost 200 pounds to repair the straps. It was eventually free after a long convo with his manager. I now only put "leetle sings een it"

I can confidently say the NF shits all over this bag

I do, I own this in black, and the Neverfull. I’ve never had a problem with mine, and I’ve carried a fair amount in it. I’d personally put it on par with the Neverfull.

What does the MM stand for?

TizerorFizz · 15/09/2023 22:27

Moyen Modele. MM. medium model. GM - Grande Modele - “grand” or large.

Crucible · 15/09/2023 22:28

Ah gotcha thanks

Pinkvici22 · 15/09/2023 22:35

I am utterly invested in this thread!

looking for a new work bag (not as pricey as LV) and very tempted by either the Polene or the Demellier midi - any thoughts?

Isabelle70 · 15/09/2023 22:55

I have the NF MM in the damier azur that is my summer work bag and holiday bag. I love it and it's never full M&S rolls and soup were in it today!
I nearly got another bag in the DE print but found it was too brown. The monogram print I find is darker and goes with more outfits.

milkydress · 15/09/2023 22:56

@SiblingFights that is exactly why I don't want to get one. Absolutely gorgeous bag and I would love to treat myself this year but I see them all around and I honestly can't tell the difference from a distance!

So glad to hear you’ve been following.

Yes of course! Once it arrives, I’ll update the thread with a pic! ❤️

Also here for the photos! How long is the delivery?

Abdua · 26/09/2023 10:23

I think number 2 is the most classic bag, but also the one, that the most people have.
I like to go classic however, so i would most certainly go for no. 2.

I think that if you'd like to stand out, go with no. 1

BTW, what an amazing bag, you will be so glad you bought it!

It’s saying 4-6 weeks! 😨 Looks like they’re making it and it’s coming from Italy. For some reason, I thought they would be pre made and more readily available. Hoping it comes before this time though. Looking like approx end of Oct.

Interesting, I just looked at delivery for the GM DE but with cherry red interior and it’s a few days. Maybe your interior is rarer/custom, which is no bad thing

Isabelle70 · 26/09/2023 17:06

I ordered some trainers in the summer and they were a 3/4 week delivery but they were shipped just after a week or so.

That’s interesting. I just checked too and cherry red is available in all the London stores I see. I think the rose is far superior.

@Isabelle70 - I do hope it’s the same case for me too! 🤞🏽 Bet those are some nice trainers!

@Flutterbye22 fingers crossed for you 🤞 they are nice trainers, not ideal for long walks but fine for the office and dry days 😃

You could consider the Mulberry Bayswater Tote (not the older style).

I got one for work and it’s fantastic.
