The prices of LV bags are ridiculous! Like you, I am into Vintage LV! My Randonee GM was purchased for around $250 USD. It was sent to LV Repair for vachetta replacement at a cost of $1,170 USD and looks brand new! I just sent my Randonee PM ( vintage) which I paid around the same as the GM, to LV for vachetta replacement at the same price . Still less pricey than new!
Hello! Yes vintage all the way! Thats a great way get an essentially "new" randonne! Ive actually thought about getting some of my vintage items repaired directly by LV but i have no SA so i was always too shy to ask!
Hello! The mabillon is great except for the zipper being attached to the front of the bag along the top like how i demonstrated in the video, it does create obstruction when trying to get something out of your bag. You can have to take the bag off in order to move the strap out of the way. Because of this it would not be convenient for many people.
I picked up a vintage monogram Sybilla backpack with an umbrella but don’t wear it because it’s so rare. I think the vintage montsouris is pretty decent.
I just looked up the Sybilla backpack and OMG what a rare piece you have acquired! I probably wouldnt wear it either and just keep it as a collectors item! Wow what a score!
Yeah it might be the rarest bag I own. I contacted my SA think it might be worth getting all the vachetta replaced but my SA said I might lose the edition number (each bag has a number 1-1000) because so little were made. Plus it has a “Centennial Edition” stamp on it. I’d lose those if I had the vachetta replaced.
Much prefer the looks of some of the vintage bags compared to the newer versions - I got myself a vintage Montsouris GM in march (unfortunately got a water stain on the vachetta before I used it 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️) and when I compare it to the new model, the vintage is far superior! Looking at a vintage elipse and mabillon on Vestiare and a few newer bags at cheaper prices on it too 😉😉
You know what I also was not a backpack person! I actually bought it because a few months ago my shoulder and neck were in so much pain i couldnt wear a crossbody anymore! But now that i have it no regrets
Hello! Yes even my mabillon is quite small in capacity so to think that the alma is even smaller it really is going to only hold your keys and wallet and some cosmetics! Whereas i can fit all my essentials plus 2 cans of drink or 1 bottle of drink in my mabillon!
I think I prefer your backpack I definitely don't like the Alma in the a elongated form as a backpack... Also I prefer the Epi leather not to be diagonal.... The zipper opening on yours though is a bit of a clumsy design? Not sure why they did that....
Hello Julie! Yes i agree the zipper being attached to the front was a bit of a shock when i got the bag, now looking back you can clearly see it in photos but my brain just never registered because ive literally seen a backpack where the strap is orientated like this before. So yes it is inconvenient

I still prefer my vintage ellipse backpack ♥ I'm currently looking for the mabillion on the pre loved market. Nothing beats vintage ♥

Hello! Congratulations on your vintage Mountsouris! Sorry to hear about the water marks! I would love to add an elipse to my collection at some point!
I’m not a backpack person but I think both are very cute. The vintage one is likely better quality.
You know what I also was not a backpack person! I actually bought it because a few months ago my shoulder and neck were in so much pain i couldnt wear a crossbody anymore! But now that i have it no regrets
I’d prefer the old vintage pieces because of the extra space. These recent little bags are a NO

I’m definitely team neither 😊
