I absolutely LOVE my 6 key holder! I love how flat it is, and I never mix up my storage key and my house key. I understand that you still have a car key, but since I have a keyless car, it works great!
Hi, Autumn! I wanted to share some of my experiences with your viewers in case they are interested in any of these items. The Alma BB is one of my most used bags because it is small, holds a lot and can be worn cross body. It holds just as much as my small Chanel Coco Handle and my small Gucci Marmont. It holds more than my Chanel M/L Classic Flap because you can stand things up in it like a hard-sided eyeglass case. The Mini Pochette is my most used SLG because I can fit so much in it and it fits in all of my mini bags. I was 100% against getting the Neverfull but then I got it and it’s now one of my favorite bags for work. I can use it for non-work days also because I can just cinch the sides in when I’m not bringing as many items with me. Getting an organizer for my Speedy B 25 made a huge difference because it was easier to find stuff! The small opening on that bag kind of drives me crazy still so I go back-and-forth about whether or not I want to keep the bag. For the Pochette Metis, it holds a lot but the more you put in it, the bulkier it gets. The 3 compartments can get quite bulbous and stick out from each other. I eventually sold mine because of the lock, it didn’t lie flat against my body because of the bulbous compartments and I also felt that it looked odd cross body because it was square and the proportions didn’t look right to me.
The artsy is the most used bag in my collection. The handle is not at all uncomfortable and I’ve carried it to class, full of heavy law books. It’s a gorgeous bag and not at all uncomfortable. It’s definitely a black hole though!
I love my pichette matisse. I chose it because of the size and my 70+ year old shoulders. I have to constantly clear out extra stuff as the leather stretches. (I have it in black embossed leather.) I have seen this bag on one other person and I’ve had it two years. It’s beautiful,
I actually broke the ignition contact on a car by using keys that were too heavy. Now I keep my house key and car keys separate. You are right. Those key holders don't work on today's keys.
Love your videos, you are such a wealth of information, I don’t own any really luxury bags , just a few coach and dooney outlet bags…BUT someday I will, first things first, you know the responsible adult things always come first.😁
I do have a speedy 30 and I agree it holds more than you would think . I do however havre it in a limited edition Yayoi Kusama collection so a bit different. I do see more Neverfull then speedy. I Also have an Alma which I love !
Love love my neverfull ! I travel often and it works great with my carry on duffel .. I can use my duffel for a carry on and the neverfull as my “ personal item “ .
I love my Artsy! I brought it preloved with lovely patina, whilst my speedy 35, went to France for repairs. Now I have TWO bags! “Yay!” I’m a top handle gal, so I don’t intend to wear my Artsy on the shoulder. Shoulder-wear does cause the rim to crack (from deodorant!). Definitely thought the rings were too small, in the pm Agenda. That’s why I brought the MM size. The mini pochette works for me as a general catch-all. Thumbs up (as usual) for the video 👍🏾
I agree with the neverfull. Bought the mm and never get to reach for it so i returned it and exchanged for the speedy 25b. And im so glad i did it. Been using it nonstop. But everyone has their own preference or probably coz i have a tuileries hobo which is big enough(seems to carry as much as a delightful pm, neverfull mm and artsy), with magnetic closure and and zippered front. And has a very nice handle.
I wonder why LV doesn’t put so much thought on their bags. I invested in a Trevi PM 5 years ago and after 3 use the zipper stitching gave up. I really love the LV bags and I wonder if buying it is still worth the money.
One difference with the Alma shoulder strap - it has a D-ring that sticks up to clip the strap to, so when you wear it the pressure from the weight of the bag is concentrated in the center of that D-ring, and so it gets distributed evenly to the stitching attaching the handle. With the speedy handles, since there is no D-ring, you have to attach the strap on one side or the other of the handle hardware, so the weight is not distributed evenly, and the strap will pull more at the stitching on whichever side the strap is attached.
gottahaveshades Great point. My Alma PM and Alma BB are two of my favorite bags. While I prefer to carry the Alma PM on the crook of my arm, it’s nice to be able to attach a strap without worrying about damaging the bag. The classic Speedy doesn’t feel as comfortable on the crook of the arm because it has a shorter strap drop. The Alma BB is one of my most used crossbody bags. I have it in Epi Denim and I would love to add it in DE.
Your channel is great because it’s very informative always. I have a Speedy Bandolier 30 in damier ebene is soooo nice and the straps are great to have because I wear it crossbody. More power to you and belated Happy Teacher appreciation week. I used to teach college students before too.
Just love your collection!!!! That lil bag you have is definitely a date night bag enough room to have a credit card holder, lipstick stuff like that it’s so cute!!! And lovin the speedy!!!!
Can you compare your speedy 25 and speedy 30 in a video? By the way, the zipper of my Alma is always getting wonky if the bag contents too much, and i have the Epi version, that´s much stiffer than canvas. Regards Sam
Great video.... I’ve just sold my mini pouchette, thought I needed it but as usual I don’t!!! Glad to find someone who also doesn’t get the LV key holder. I have a leather longchamp one which moulds round my chunky keys no bother xx
i so agree about the key holder! when i bought mine i had a push to start car and now i mainly drive a car with a traditional key, and the holder always brushes against my leg annoying me when i drive .. so now im back to using a traditional key ring 😩 tfs
I have the small agenda in Damier Ebene and that's exactly how I use it; as a travel journal and passport holder. I've loved using it this way. Yours is lovely! That red color (is it red?) would be perfect for finding in your larger travel tote. I use my Neverfull GM Damier Ebene as a travel tote and it is huge and sometimes hard to locate a specific item. The insides of many of my bags look like Louis Vuitton threw up and left me with several sweet pieces. Not complaining, but locating things in the larger bags is a thing. Great video!
I thought about getting an Agenda PM for a passport holder but in the end decided that I don't need a cover on my passport. When trying to get back into the U.S. from France, we had to show our passport about 5 times. It'd be too much trouble getting it in and out of the holder. I have an Alma and I thought I'd love it. I used it last summer and that was all. I hope to use it more this winter. I prefer Speedies to the Alma. Thanks for all these great points on popular bags.
I have a Medium Agenda that I purchased in 1998. I still use it even though it looks as if it went two rounds with a prize fighter. The only issue I have is the price of the refills. Quite expensive for paper. 😏
Rebecca Wynter I have the same situation- my car and home are keyless and I love having the 6 key solely because the slip pocket is larger and I can keep my DL and debit card and grab it if I need to run a quick errand. The 4 key pocket isn’t large enough for a couple of cards. Even though I don’t use keys, I love having this piece. I can just put it in my bag and forget about it since I don’t have to physically touch the key fobs.
I've watched a handful of your videos and I have to say this video is the best one I've seen, Great Job... Truly Enjoyed! I love the 'Lil Agenda, I have the same exact one and use it for our passport. I purchased the red vernis so i can find it easily in my my bag...❤
That's interesting about the Artsy bag. I have one in azure canvas and it's very comfortable to carry on my shoulder or arm or hand. As long as it's not overloaded of course.
I love my Montaigne (Monogram Empreinte) but I had problem with the design for shoulder strap. If I constantly use the shoulder strap, the clasps will eventually tear at the top handle leather (near the strap buckle, if that makes sense to you). Brought it back to LV and SA insisted that it's the first time someone complained about it and they tried to charged me for repair. Did not pay for the repair as they agreed to Comp it for me and I did not use the shoulder strap after.
Jocelyn D Same with my Trevi PM the shoulder straps keep rubbing off the zipper stitching. I have to use the bag without the shoulder straps but it’s kinda loses the essence of the bag. ☹️
Your videos are always so helpful--I love your channel! In regard to planners, for anyone looking for impeccably crafted planners made of high quality leather, there are two 'planner luxury' companies popular in the planner community: Gillio (pronounced 'Ji-lee-o) and Van der Spek (not as expensive as Gillio AND you can order a custom planner!). Plus, both companies have pen loops that accommodate mainstream pens unlike Louis Vuitton. TFS and HTH!
I have the same exact agenda and I did the same thing with using the credit card slots. I used it for a little bit and stopped. I'll try it as a passport holder. Thanks Autumn!
So interesting. Some of those things don't work for me for all of the reasons mentioned, but it's nice to hear that others agree. My SE just couldn't understand why I had zero interest in the Neverfull for example. I do love my Almas, but I've never purchased the straps because I don't think they make good cross body bags.
I don’t have the luxury yet to go buy a LV as in TRYING to prioritize getting a house before I save for other stuff (doing the best I can hahah) but I really want the key holder. I saw that coach has one very similar for 100$, hoping to score it at an outlet. Has anyone tried that one and the LV, what do they think of each? I also saw some on amazon for 8$ was thinking of possibly getting that to see if I’d even like the idea the case at all.
Great video. I love the Alma. It's my favorite bag from LV. It was my first bag from LV also. I love it so much I have 3 of them in different sizes, canvas and epi leather. I don't find it hard to get into at all. I do agree that it looks awkward as a cross body. I usually just wear it on my shoulder. TBH I don't like wear bags as a cross body anyways. Oh and the how you attached the straps on to the Alma is totally different then just adding it on to your classic speedy. On the Alma there's a d ring on both sides were the straps are meant to be attached. The mini pochette is my favorite LV slg. I think it actually holds a lot considering how small it is. I use my Alma bb straps with it and turns it into a mini bag. I love it so much I have 3 of them. One in each canvas.😊
Great video! I use a Filofax pocket Malden as an everyday carry planner and wallet. The rings are a good size and the leather is wonderful. I totally agree with you about the Speedy and Neverfull. I have two of each of them and they are so great! They get much more use than my other LV's.
Goyard, faure le page, loup noir. Highly recommend these brands over LV. Goyard is pricier it’s more in the Hermes / Chanel price point but the other 2 are reasonable.
i disagree with you on the pochette metis. for me, it's more than just a trendy bag. it is now a classic staple and it holds a lot more than you think....❤️
Autumn, your reviews are right on. I so agree with everything you said in this video. I love the look of the Speedy 30, but had issues with the opening being so limited. I bought a pre-loved Speedy b 25 Empreinte and the problem of the opening doesn't exit. I love this bag more than any other LV I have ever had.
I just fell in love with the Speedy B 25 Empreinte in noir! I returned an impulse purchase that was way too heavy once I put all of my SLGs in it and the SA brought that baby out and I was sold! It even has a slot in the front that i can slip my phone into without having to open the main compartment. I totally agree with you Maureen Barstow about the opening--it generously zips halfway down the sides, so I don't scratch myself or the items stored within.
It's not good to have lots of keys and keychains in your ignition with your key. It does cause more wear and tear. My brother is a mechanic and my whole family is very familiar with cars. Im also batting your remote only needed a new battery. For future reference. I do have one question for you, I'm about to purchase my first LV from Japan, did you have to pay any customs fees or taxes? Thanks so much...
I agree with the 6 ring key holder, I hated it. My key fob just flopped out of the bottom. Speedy is ok. I’ve had the 25 and 30 and they just sit odd on me. Both are black holes. 25 too small of an opening and 30 is just massive. The mini PA I love though. I use it as a catch all in my bags and have also added a strap and used it as a mini bag. It’s NFL approved too so it’s the perfect size for a football game! :-)
Yessssss the leather artsy feels like luggage 🤣 So heavy. My mom has one. Love my Alma BB but it’s best for those who can compartmentalize. I was surprised about the commentary on the pochette metis ~ it’s quite roomy to me with all the slots, etc. I can fit quite a bit. But then again I do wear a lot of minis & WOCs so maybe it’s just spacious to me. 😋 Loved these reviews. Thank you for sharing, Autumn!
Yes, it's preloved. It's in vernis (patent leather). I think they're pretty easy to find on the preloved market and the vernis ones are priced well. Mine is in the color pommes d'amour.
Did you say the rings come out of the agenda? I dislike the rings and would rather just use the pockets like you suggested as a passport holder but I never knew that the rings came out.
Hey Autumn, great videos. I recently purchased a speedy 30 in damier ebene and I also have replica so I was trying to replace the replica. The real one arrived today and I was so excited, but I opened it and I felt the quality was not as good as my fake one! The real Louis Vuitton was super thin and the handles were almost a matte, hard finish. Is that how they are supposed to look? Do you find that your canvas is super thin? I thought this bag was supposed to be a care-free, toss about kind of piece... But as a mother, there is no way that the real Speedy 30 damier ebene is going to hold up for more than a year for me, if that. I was wondering how yours is holding up. And frankly, I purchased my replica in 2013 and the real one I got today has a date code of 2018 so do you think there's a difference in quality over the last few years?
I haven't touched the newest bags but I'm not surprised by what you're saying. I've heard the quality has decreased and the canvas has become thinner. I would suggest returning that bag and going with an older Speedy. Mine is from 2006 and it feels very sturdy. I have no worries about tossing it around.
Autumn Beckman awesome, thanks for your advice... I called Louis Vuitton and returned it today at the ups store LOL I will look out for an older model.
Even the biggest YT’rs don’t get LV for free. LV doesn’t even have sales. They burn the unused merchandise- crazy right? They say that they want to keep the brands exclusivity.
Great video! Thank you for addressing the ring size on the agenda PM - I see people raving over it, but when I've seen it in person, I can't picture it being very useful. Plus, I see a ton of these on the pre-loved market, which tells me people are buying and then selling them right away because they aren't practical. By the way, Ii's Gillio Firenze - and they make beautiful leather planners, but they aren't cheap so I can't imagine buying one just to take it apart!
Oh the Delightful is soooo sexy :) I find the American ladies need a more structured bag for their routine. In Europe, we love the Delightful. The Graceful is ok but it doesn't slouch so much as the Delightful, which means less sexy, in my opinion.
I’ve been obsessed with the Delightful for a couple years for the reasons you mentioned! I just never bought it. Then they discontinued it so I bought a GM that looks brand new on Poshmark. I am waiting for it to arrive. There’s a time and place for structure but I’m all about a slouchy bag! ❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely LOVE my 6 key holder! I love how flat it is, and I never mix up my storage key and my house key. I understand that you still have a car key, but since I have a keyless car, it works great!
Jennifer Betancourt it works for my keys including my car keys too! I love mine!

I owned the Metis and returned it. I found the lock to be annoying but the bag itself is adorable. Thanks for all your handbag knowledge!😃
Thank you. :) Sorry the Metis didn't work out for you.
I actually broke the ignition contact on a car by using keys that were too heavy. Now I keep my house key and car keys separate. You are right. Those key holders don't work on today's keys.
The neverful is awesome it comes with a pouchette !! 2 for 1. Ebene handles PEEL! I just had to send my speedy ebene in for new handles.
That Alma PM is my favorite Louis bag in my collection. It's so beautiful and great.
Love your videos, you are such a wealth of information, I don’t own any really luxury bags , just a few coach and dooney outlet bags…BUT someday I will, first things first, you know the responsible adult things always come first.😁
I have a few of the dupes, I still enjoy them.i wonder if coach has a 6 key holder
You are so on the mark about these. I love your honesty as much as your collection.
Looking great, Autumn!
I love the galleria pm bags...great size and nice hobo like bag
I do have a speedy 30 and I agree it holds more than you would think . I do however havre it in a limited edition Yayoi Kusama collection so a bit different. I do see more Neverfull then speedy. I Also have an Alma which I love !
Love love my neverfull ! I travel often and it works great with my carry on duffel .. I can use my duffel for a carry on and the neverfull as my “ personal item “ .
I love my Artsy! I brought it preloved with lovely patina, whilst my speedy 35, went to France for repairs. Now I have TWO bags! “Yay!”
I’m a top handle gal, so I don’t intend to wear my Artsy on the shoulder. Shoulder-wear does cause the rim to crack (from deodorant!).
Definitely thought the rings were too small, in the pm Agenda. That’s why I brought the MM size. The mini pochette works for me as a general catch-all.
Thumbs up (as usual) for the video 👍🏾
I really want the 6 key holder, there just so high., I haven't taken the plunge yet.
I agree with the neverfull. Bought the mm and never get to reach for it so i returned it and exchanged for the speedy 25b. And im so glad i did it. Been using it nonstop. But everyone has their own preference or probably coz i have a tuileries hobo which is big enough(seems to carry as much as a delightful pm, neverfull mm and artsy), with magnetic closure and and zippered front. And has a very nice handle.
You have a beautiful collection. Thanks for the great review.
I wonder why LV doesn’t put so much thought on their bags. I invested in a Trevi PM 5 years ago and after 3 use the zipper stitching gave up. I really love the LV bags and I wonder if buying it is still worth the money.

Great video Autumn. Informative & down to Earth. I've owned or currently have a lot of these items & agree with your comments.
I love my LV graceful pm... it is a perfect size especially that im short.
angel c this makes me happy to hear! I just ordered one!!
Love, love the minie pochett
I have a 6 key holder and I’m obsessed with it. I also have the Pochette Metis and I’m actually able to fit a lot in it.
Really enjoyed this video! I have the both the Speedy and the never full because they are just great bags!!
Great video idea! I agree with all the cons of the items you have mentioned.
I LOVE the Azure colletion.
Is true about the ignition. Never ever overload your keys because the weight of it will damage the ignition.
Your channel is great because it’s very informative always. I have a Speedy Bandolier 30 in damier ebene is soooo nice and the straps are great to have because I wear it crossbody. More power to you and belated Happy Teacher appreciation week. I used to teach college students before too.
Just love your collection!!!! That lil bag you have is definitely a date night bag enough room to have a credit card holder, lipstick stuff like that it’s so cute!!! And lovin the speedy!!!!
Oh Autumn, I love your videos. This one was especially honest. I haven't pulled the trigger yet and your videos make the most sense. Keep it up.
Can you compare your speedy 25 and speedy 30 in a video? By the way, the zipper of my Alma is always getting wonky if the bag contents too much, and i have the Epi version, that´s much stiffer than canvas. Regards Sam
Very useful video..some of the bags were on my wishlist
Great video.... I’ve just sold my mini pouchette, thought I needed it but as usual I don’t!!! Glad to find someone who also doesn’t get the LV key holder. I have a leather longchamp one which moulds round my chunky keys no bother xx
I agree. I've seen a bunch of people in Houston with the Neverfull MM/GM and I'm one of the people with the bag. Lol 🤓
Love the azure,yeh need to have a review.
i so agree about the key holder! when i bought mine i had a push to start car and now i mainly drive a car with a traditional key, and the holder always brushes against my leg annoying me when i drive .. so now im back to using a traditional key ring 😩 tfs
Great video and information about the different products.
The key holder didn’t work out for me for the same reason, my keys didn’t fit. Good video a lot of good information.
I have the small agenda in Damier Ebene and that's exactly how I use it; as a travel journal and passport holder. I've loved using it this way. Yours is lovely!

You helped a lot of people with this videos these bags are so expensive and im saving for a new lv but im thinking twice now
It’s on my wishlist “the four key holder” my house is keyless entry as are my cars. It’ll work perfectly for me. 😃
Rebecca Wynter I have the same situation- my car and home are keyless and I love having the 6 key solely because the slip pocket is larger and I can keep my DL and debit card and grab it if I need to run a quick errand. The 4 key pocket isn’t large enough for a couple of cards. Even though I don’t use keys, I love having this piece.

I've watched a handful of your videos and I have to say this video is the best one I've seen, Great Job... Truly Enjoyed!
I love the 'Lil Agenda, I have the same exact one and use it for our passport. I purchased the red vernis so i can find it easily in my my bag...❤
I worry about the vernis in a bag...that it will get scratched or stick to things or get color transfer. Have you had any of those issues?
I actually have the LV Vernis Small Ring Agenda Pomme D'Amour, as much as I would love a Vernis handbag, I too would be worried of damaging it.
That's interesting about the Artsy bag. I have one in azure canvas and it's very comfortable to carry on my shoulder or arm or hand. As long as it's not overloaded of course.
I love my Montaigne (Monogram Empreinte) but I had problem with the design for shoulder strap.

That's too bad. The Montaigne is such a pretty bag. I'm sorry you had problems with yours.
Jocelyn D Same with my Trevi PM the shoulder straps keep rubbing off the zipper stitching. I have to use the bag without the shoulder straps but it’s kinda loses the essence of the bag. ☹️
You answered my question about the key holder, thank you! :)
I live in Houston too! Which LV store do you mainly go to? I find I’m treated more kindly at the Neiman Marcus one
Your videos are always so helpful--I love your channel! In regard to planners, for anyone looking for impeccably crafted planners made of high quality leather, there are two 'planner luxury' companies popular in the planner community: Gillio (pronounced 'Ji-lee-o) and Van der Spek (not as expensive as Gillio AND you can order a custom planner!). Plus, both companies have pen loops that accommodate mainstream pens unlike Louis Vuitton. TFS and HTH!
I love the speedy! nice informative video
Great video Autumn 🍂, all very sensible and rational thoughts.
I have the same exact agenda and I did the same thing with using the credit card slots. I used it for a little bit and stopped. I'll try it as a passport holder. Thanks Autumn!
So interesting. Some of those things don't work for me for all of the reasons mentioned, but it's nice to hear that others agree. My SE just couldn't understand why I had zero interest in the Neverfull for example. I do love my Almas, but I've never purchased the straps because I don't think they make good cross body bags.
How much is the artsy want to know price and more about
Thanks for such a great video! This is so helpful!!
I don’t have the luxury yet to go buy a LV as in TRYING to prioritize getting a house before I save for other stuff (doing the best I can hahah) but I really want the key holder. I saw that coach has one very similar for 100$, hoping to score it at an outlet. Has anyone tried that one and the LV, what do they think of each? I also saw some on amazon for 8$ was thinking of possibly getting that to see if I’d even like the idea the case at all.
Lol!!!! I just bought the 6 key holder in Azure!!!!!
I also got the Alma PM
Great video. I love the Alma. It's my favorite bag from LV. It was my first bag from LV also. I love it so much I have 3 of them in different sizes, canvas and epi leather. I don't find it hard to get into at all. I do agree that it looks awkward as a cross body. I usually just wear it on my shoulder. TBH I don't like wear bags as a cross body anyways. Oh and the how you attached the straps on to the Alma is totally different then just adding it on to your classic speedy. On the Alma there's a d ring on both sides were the straps are meant to be attached. The mini pochette is my favorite LV slg. I think it actually holds a lot considering how small it is. I use my Alma bb straps with it and turns it into a mini bag. I love it so much I have 3 of them. One in each canvas.😊
Great video! I use a Filofax pocket Malden as an everyday carry planner and wallet. The rings are a good size and the leather is wonderful. I totally agree with you about the Speedy and Neverfull. I have two of each of them and they are so great! They get much more use than my other LV's.
Goyard, faure le page, loup noir. Highly recommend these brands over LV. Goyard is pricier it’s more in the Hermes / Chanel price point but the other 2 are reasonable.
I love the pm agenda! i bought blank pages from amazon so have plenty of space to write maybe that idea could help people!
A lot of people also have issues with the Pochette Metis because of the stiff shoulder/crossbody strap.
That's interesting. I've been thinking of buying one of those straps but I hadn't heard of it being stiff. Good to know.
Mini pochette is the cutest bag I want to get one to use as a wallet
Great review I’ve come to love your reviews and videos theyre so informative 🤍
Thank you. :)
Love your videos Autumn! 🍂👜👝
Hi, nice video. Where did you get th pen for your PM agenda?
Have you shopped the preloved at Stein Mart? Just wondering your opinion. The Kingwood Stein Mart has some nice LV pieces as well as a few Chanel.
I have organizers for my NF GM and Graceful from samorga com. They are dedicated to these bags and have zippers.
For me，longchamp tote is much better than neverfull。
Great review. I love your necklace and I'm from houston too! 💅🏻💋
i disagree with you on the pochette metis. for me, it's more than just a trendy bag. it is now a classic staple and it holds a lot more than you think....❤️
I can use my PM as a diaper bag! Lol wipes, diaper, key holder etc! I can even put a toiletry 19 in there. It lacks a punch!!
Another fabulous video!
Autumn, your reviews are right on. I so agree with everything you said in this video. I love the look of the Speedy 30, but had issues with the opening being so limited. I bought a pre-loved Speedy b 25 Empreinte and the problem of the opening doesn't exit. I love this bag more than any other LV I have ever had.
I just fell in love with the Speedy B 25 Empreinte in noir! I returned an impulse purchase that was way too heavy once I put all of my SLGs in it and the SA brought that baby out and I was sold! It even has a slot in the front that i can slip my phone into without having to open the main compartment. I totally agree with you Maureen Barstow about the opening--it generously zips halfway down the sides, so I don't scratch myself or the items stored within.
Great review thanks
Great information... thank you!
Just discovered your channel....very good, informative. Thanks
Speedy is great, I have never full GM which I hate way too big!
I love the floppy look of the Neverfull GM on other people but I don't think I could deal with it myself. Beautiful but not practical for me.
Exactly!! It’s annoying lol
It's not good to have lots of keys and keychains in your ignition with your key. It does cause more wear and tear. My brother is a mechanic and my whole family is very familiar with cars. Im also batting your remote only needed a new battery. For future reference. I do have one question for you, I'm about to purchase my first LV from Japan, did you have to pay any customs fees or taxes? Thanks so much...
Liked before watching the video... because loved the title
Best video ever! Fantastic idea!!!
I agree with the 6 ring key holder, I hated it. My key fob just flopped out of the bottom. Speedy is ok. I’ve had the 25 and 30 and they just sit odd on me. Both are black holes. 25 too small of an opening and 30 is just massive. The mini PA I love though. I use it as a catch all in my bags and have also added a strap and used it as a mini bag. It’s NFL approved too so it’s the perfect size for a football game! :-)
Yessssss the leather artsy feels like luggage 🤣 So heavy. My mom has one. Love my Alma BB but it’s best for those who can compartmentalize. I was surprised about the commentary on the pochette metis ~ it’s quite roomy to me with all the slots, etc. I can fit quite a bit. But then again I do wear a lot of minis & WOCs so maybe it’s just spacious to me. 😋 Loved these reviews. Thank you for sharing, Autumn!
You last piece..the agenda PM is beautiful..nevwr seen one in that style..always just canvas mono or ebene..is that piece a pre-loved?
Yes, it's preloved. It's in vernis (patent leather). I think they're pretty easy to find on the preloved market and the vernis ones are priced well. Mine is in the color pommes d'amour.
Caveat. I have a PM agenda in the Damier canvas and my passport takes up too much space in it.
Very nice video😍😙 love it very detailed. Speedy is my favorite
This was fun to watch and a smart video idea 💗
Thank you, Grace. :)
great video so agree on that key thing totally dont get the adoration for that.
i LOVE your videos
Did you say the rings come out of the agenda? I dislike the rings and would rather just use the pockets like you suggested as a passport holder but I never knew that the rings came out.
Can u do a video on how to use the agenda as a passport holder please?
just put your passport in the big pocket. there! done!
Hey Autumn, great videos. I recently purchased a speedy 30 in damier ebene and I also have replica so I was trying to replace the replica. The real one arrived today and I was so excited, but I opened it and I felt the quality was not as good as my fake one! The real Louis Vuitton was super thin and the handles were almost a matte, hard finish. Is that how they are supposed to look? Do you find that your canvas is super thin? I thought this bag was supposed to be a care-free, toss about kind of piece... But as a mother, there is no way that the real Speedy 30 damier ebene is going to hold up for more than a year for me, if that. I was wondering how yours is holding up. And frankly, I purchased my replica in 2013 and the real one I got today has a date code of 2018 so do you think there's a difference in quality over the last few years?
I haven't touched the newest bags but I'm not surprised by what you're saying. I've heard the quality has decreased and the canvas has become thinner. I would suggest returning that bag and going with an older Speedy. Mine is from 2006 and it feels very sturdy. I have no worries about tossing it around.
Autumn Beckman awesome, thanks for your advice... I called Louis Vuitton and returned it today at the ups store LOL I will look out for an older model.
REALLY GREAT INFORMATION, I APPRECIATE ALL THE FACTS, GREAT VIDEO THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING
Do you get Louis Vuitton bags sent to you for free because you do great reviews
OMG, I wish! But no. :(
Even the biggest YT’rs don’t get LV for free. LV doesn’t even have sales. They burn the unused merchandise- crazy right? They say that they want to keep the brands exclusivity.
Great video! Thank you for addressing the ring size on the agenda PM - I see people raving over it, but when I've seen it in person, I can't picture it being very useful. Plus, I see a ton of these on the pre-loved market, which tells me people are buying and then selling them right away because they aren't practical. By the way, Ii's Gillio Firenze - and they make beautiful leather planners, but they aren't cheap so I can't imagine buying one just to take it apart!
I think people are buying the rings on their own somehow rather than the entire Gillio planner. I'm not certain, though.
Oh the Delightful is soooo sexy :) I find the American ladies need a more structured bag for their routine. In Europe, we love the Delightful. The Graceful is ok but it doesn't slouch so much as the Delightful, which means less sexy, in my opinion.
Lady M. Vuitton how funny that was my sought bag now that I have it I'm not feeling it anymore. I even posted for sale
I’ve been obsessed with the Delightful for a couple years for the reasons you mentioned! I just never bought it. Then they discontinued it so I bought a GM that looks brand new on Poshmark. I am waiting for it to arrive. There’s a time and place for structure but I’m all about a slouchy bag! ❤️❤️❤️
Great video ❤️😊❤️
Nice video 👍
The pochette metis is not small. There is so much room in that bag
coco c ive been using it, its so cute
Agree on the key holder. Doesn't work for me.
The Alma was my entry luxury it has bn agreat bag never have problem. Also i don't like to over load my bags
Great vid, again. I want a Delightful and agenda PM. Never again with Alma. Thanks for the vid ;)
