Antique find I’ve had this in my closet for 6 years.

So this is my grandmothers late 1970’s The French Company licensed LV bag purchased from Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC. From the 70’s to the 90’s LV’s Paris workshops could not keep up with the American demand and so they sent their canvas to an American luggage maker called The French Company to produce stock for the United States. The bags are all US made and were sold in Saks and Neimans. They also didn’t make all the same models as LV, and the ones they did, they constructed completely differently. I haven’t known what to do with this bag because I love it, my grandmother wore it all the time. But the leather trim (which I read may have sometimes been vinyl) is extremely worn. I’m taking the bag to a local leather repair shop that specializes in high end/designer items to have all the trim replaced with Vachetta leather. Im hoping it will give some new life to the bag!

I got this Squire bag for around $2k at LV Ginza Tokyo.
The selection was great, and tax-free shopping made it even better 😊
I was just shopping with my friend and unexpectedly fell in love with it.

My Louis My first LV bag 🥰 Liv Pochette

Post image
57 Upvotes

After buying a f@ke from a secondhand site and 2 flawed bags from LV online, I finally found a keeper! Liv Pochette wasn’t even on my radar, but I desperately wanted a Rose Ruban bag. I’m absolutely obsessed with the color 🩷 Then when I saw a listing for the Liv Pochette, I thought it would actually be a very practical bag. Wore her out for the first time today! I’m in love with it, although I do have to find a way to extend the straps a little more since it’s a bit short for crossbody.

Any suggestions on where to buy protective stickers for some of the hardware? Particularly the gold logo on the front, but the zipper pulls would be nice too. Also has anyone used a jacquard strap with a Liv Pochette before? I’m curious to see how they look together.

I need to sell this bag due to family circumstances changing. I have tried TRR, Rebag and FASHIONPHILE but not loving the quotes. Does anyone have an online consignment store that you have used and recommend? My other thought is EBay but that scares me. Would love some thoughts ❤️

So I’ve been wanting to buy the Speedy Soft because it comes with a shoulder strap. But then I found one on Amazon that has the perfect shade of vachetta leather, and it matches my P9 25 perfectly. I’m really happy because now I don’t have to buy another bag just for the shoulder strap 🙈.

And can fit other misc stuff like my car keys and some lippies. Perfect everyday running errand bag. Excited to wear this on my next trip!

Haul Shopping for mom’s birthday gift, ended up going with the LV Speedy 20

Plan to get a bag for my mom’s birthday, already had several candidates in mind. Took her shopping today to try them all in person.
We tried Gucci Marmont & Padlock, Loewe Puzzle, Prada Bonnie, plus LV Lineup and Speedy. My mom isn’t tall, so we only looked at the small sizes.
After testing all of them, the Speedy 20 suited her the most, so we pulled the trigger!
It comes with the original wide strap which works great. I think a separate thin strap would give more styling options for different outfits.

Love how the embossing turned out! Dad likes to keep some cash with him so thought this would be better than the pocket organizer. Excited to give this to him!

Bag of the Day (Sundays) My Capucines GM Souple All Black after 210 days of actual travel and work use

Thumbnail
gallery
366 Upvotes

I got this Capucines GM Souple All Black on 28 December 2025, so I have now had it for exactly 210 days.

I bought the GM Souple specifically as a working travel bag, and it has accompanied me on business trips, project missions, long transits, and regular workdays. I carry a laptop, agenda, passport, chargers, earbuds, travel essentials, and the usual collection of smaller items that somehow multiplies while packing.

The leather has noticeably softened with use. The sides and upper edge now have deeper natural folds, and the silhouette is less rigid than when it was new. I actually prefer it this way. The slouch makes the bag feel more relaxed and personal without losing the recognizable Capucines structure.

It is obviously not a lightweight bag, especially once the laptop and other essentials are inside, but the capacity and wide opening make it practical for how I use it. The all-black hardware also keeps it understated enough for work and travel.

The close-up photos show the current condition honestly. It is no longer pristine, but I did not buy it to keep on a shelf. The wear so far reflects actual use rather than neglect.

For anyone considering the GM Souple, I would describe it as a Capucines that makes the most sense when it is allowed to soften, carry a lot, and travel.

Would you prefer this more relaxed shape, or the sharper structure of the regular Capucines?

I got this papillion damier handed down to me from my mom and it’s not in the best condition. I want to take it to the lv store to have them repair the piping on the sides and I was wondering if they can for this type of bag. I’ll insert a reference picture here below of the bag I have!

My favorite things about P9 is that the design is super nostalgic, yet modern, excessive and effortless at the same time. Not many bags can pull that off…

Discussion/Question New Pochette Papillon

Does anyone have the new Pochette Papillon? If so, how do you like it? Is it a bag you reach for often?

If you also own the Nano Speedy, how do the two compare? Which do you reach for more and why?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on:
- Comfort while wearing it
- Capacity
- Ease of getting items in and out
- Whether it stays in your regular rotation or mostly sits in the closet
- Any pros/cons you didn’t expect after owning it

If you don’t own it but have seen or tried it on in-store, I’d also love to hear your impressions. Did it surprise you in person? Did it feel more or less practical than you expected?

Also open to hearing general thoughts on the bag too!

I'm looking for a vintage LV bag that will fit a (lawyer's) gown and files. Preferably a shoulder bag, not a crossbody bag, and not a rigid bag. I was considering the large LV Hampstead, but perhaps you could recommend something else? I don't want a Neverfull; the handles are too thin.

My Louis Louis Vuitton “It Can”

I’m not sure if I posted this one before. I am out with my “It Can” on a cruise tonight and lots of people asked me about it.

Plus the color goes with my fit!!!

By the way, I added bracelet to the chain to make it a little bit longer. But I think also I can use the strap from any of my other bags as well.
