Hey lovelies,
Today I thought would be a good time to discuss the process I go through when buying my bags. There are so many factors that go into choosing a bag. With so many choices and especially with luxury brands you want to make sure you pick the best choice for yourself. For this post I will be comparing the bags I have been debating. Now I am planning on these bags for the future and not necessarily the near future since my family is currently on a spending freeze.
For Louis Vuitton I have two bags to add before my three bag per designer limit. The first ones that I am considering are the Speedy 30 vs the Speedy B 30 in the damier ebene or damier azur print. I love getting feedback from people since they often will point out factors that assist me in making my decision. If possible search youtube for reviews on what you are considering. I watched quite a few reviews on these bags. Took into consideration what the pros and cons were and also went through the Use, Need and Want questions.
Step One: Consider all the factors! (Use)
Is this an every day bag?
Is this an evening bag?
Can it be used for travel?
Ease of use
Do I have anything similar?
Is it a seasonal bag?
Step Two: Why do you want this?( Want)
What do you like about it?
Is there a part you don't like?
Step Three: Will this fill a missing part of your wardrobe? (Need)
Speedy 30 Damier Ebene(de)/damier azur(DA)
Step One: Consider all the factors! (Use)
Is this an every day bag? No, top handle bag
Is this an evening bag? possibly but probably too big
Can it be used for travel? not ideal
Ease of use: As a top handle bag not necessarily good for a mom
Do I have anything similar?yes, betsey johnson bag
Is it a seasonal bag? no/yes spring and summer
Step Two: Why do you want this?( Want)
What do you like about it? Classic style
Is there a part you don't like? top handle
Step Three: Will this fill a missing part of your wardrobe? (Need)
Not really
Speedy B Damier Ebene and Damier Azur
Step One: Consider all the factors! (Use)
Is this an every day bag? yes
Is this an evening bag? No
Can it be used for travel? Yes
Ease of use: The strap makes it a good mommy bag
Do I have anything similar? yes, Betsey Johnson bag and I have a DE bag
Is it a seasonal bag? No(DE), Yes (DA)
Step Two: Why do you want this?( Want)
What do you like about it? The DA is a great Spring/Summer bag. Endless pit. The different options to use the bag as crossbody, shoulder, and top handle.
Is there a part you don't like? The leather strip, potential color transfer
Step Three: Will this fill a missing part of your wardrobe? (Need)
Technically I don't need anything for my wardrobe.
So after answering these questions I realize that it may be easy to figure out which bag I decided on...... As I am filling these out I have already decided on the Speedy B 30 in Damier Azur. I do not have that print and absolutely love it. It's also combining my love of the style of the speedy but making it much more user friendly. I am not a top handle bag kind of girl especially with my little man in toe. Now to worry though I have more to choose from.
Next options are the Alma BB in the damier ebene or the epi, the eva clutch in damier ebene or the petit noe in the damier azur or the epi. As you can see I originally had the Ana on the list but after watching a review on the bag I decided to remove it.

So I am torn between the alma bb in the epi cyan and the petit noe in epi. I am thinking of possibly making an exception to my three bag limit if I purchase a preloved petit noe.
When buying luxury items please take your time when it comes to purchasing. Think it through before spending that kind of money.
Hopefully tomorrow I will get my most recent purchase and I will be able to do a review. Here is a sneak peak....
After going through my bags I realized I have a ton of brown and black bags and very few other colors.
Red(2)
Pink(4)
Yellow(1)
White(1)
Purple(2 technically but one is a briefcase)
Blue (none)
Green(none)
Orange(none)
Brown(5)
Black(5)
Greyish(2)
My future goal is to add some more bags in the blue/green/yellow/and orange categories.
Till next time lovelies.
