I just loved it when you had your boyfriend with you to guess bag prices. the very best of congratulations to you and I hope you continue with your very fine style of you tube videos. but I did buy cash after saving for my milestone birthday and 2nd graduation. but I think I need to space my purchases from now on, having acquired hermes and chanel in one year. I need t carry lot of papers, so I have also considered the LV soft lockit. and when it all went well, I did buy a chanel jumbo black caviar in single flap, partly inspired by your recommendation. I could not even get on the so called waiting list and finally went for a preloved one, first time I sent it back as it did not match description and the 2nd time it worked well with a firm called collective square in France. what you stated about the begging process is so very true. have you considered hermes victoria or bolide, which are less expensive than kellys or birkins (relative to hermes prices of course) bolide is a bit like vuitton alma.

The removable and adjustable strap in leather means it can be worn on the shoulder and cross-body, while a removable top handle enables hand and elbow carry. This supple bag with curvy proportions is comfortable to carry. Just a thank you for your very sensible and informative reviews. Lockme Bucket The Lockme Bucket bag in grained calf lather is immediately recognizable by its faceted LV turn lock on the front pocket. For more of my rambles, my video review is here 🙂 This has turned into a bit of a ramble but I thought I would share my real concerns and thoughts about the bag. Would I like to use the Soft Lockit for more than this? Sure, but I don’t because I have so many other bags which are more suitable. act as a smart, refined bag that can be used for posh work events. Now, I know a Soft Lockit and a Birkin/ Kelly are very different bags but for me, they kind of fulfill the same purpose, i.e. It has also made me question whether Hermès is right for me. It’s beautifully made, classic, elegant and wonderfully understated. This isn’t to say I don’t love the bag – I really do. The resale value of this bag isn’t anywhere near what I’d like it to be and 2. Two majors factors weigh in (negatively) on me saying this: 1. So, was it a risk that paid off? Honestly, I’m not entirely sure. Louis Vuitton holds value as well of course but that’s more true of the classic monogram bags than anything else and the Soft Lockit, being such a new bag and in somewhat uncharted territory for Louis Vuitton, felt like a risk. That’s not to say other brands don’t hold their value – I know with Hermès bags, you can actually make money pretty instantly but Chanel is always such a safe bet, not to mention the fact that I love the aesthetic.

I put an awful lot of my money into my bag collection and it’s comforting to know that I can recoup some of it should I need or want to. Why? I like things that hold their value – not necessarily because I sell my bags all the time (I don’t, at all) but because I like the idea that I could sell my bags at any time. I don’t tend to spend serious money on bags unless they are Chanel. Priced at $4,200 USD €2800 euro’s or £2,400 GBP at Louis Vuitton store.This purchase was a big deal for me. Measuring 19.3′ x 17.3′ x 7.5′ (W x H x D), available colors black, galet, framboise, pink and brown.

The shape is eye-catching and impressive, but it doesn’t scream for attention with an oversized LV logo, instead you will find the Louis Vuitton signature in small letters on the front. The most stunning is the new size, to give you an example – you can literally store your laptop inside. It’s an understated luxury, pure feminine, in delightful and soft colors like pink or beige. For the first time, it’s crafted in grained veau cachemire calfskin – in bigger size, softer and also light weighed. The second re-design is in 2014, the Louis Vuitton Lockit Bag has been restructured to match our time of fashion. A new leather tab with a padlock was embellished on the side, but the shape remains the same, new sizes were also introduced. The first re-design happened in 2006, the ‘lockit’ was reinvented and inspired by the distinctive closure system.

And up until today, it’s still selling as a vintage piece. The original version was launched in 1958, it had an arched shape, a tote bag that looked quite modern in its time. You see, the Louis Vuitton Lockit Bag is not a ‘new’ invention, it has been redesigned, to be exact – for the second time. When it was about time to introduce the newest Lockit Bag to the Bag Obsessed, Louis Vuitton called up Michelle Williams to feature in their latest Fall Winter 2014 Ad Campaign.īut let us start at the beginning, let us give you some importance facts first before diving into the details.
