First off, lemme just say, the whole “art of travel” thing they keep going on about? It’s kinda true, actually. I mean, yeah, you’re not, like, magically teleporting to Paris just ’cause you have a Speedy, but a good LV bag *does* feel like you’re ready for anything. You know? Like, “Oh, this old thing? Yeah, just throwin’ my passport, my lipstick, and a spare charger in here. No biggie, I’m about to jet off to, uh… wherever I feel like.”
And the *materials*, omg. They’re, like, *obsessed* with quality. That canvas Monogram stuff? It’s iconic. And durable! My grandma’s got an LV bag that’s, like, older than me and it still looks pretty damn good. I mean, a few scratches, sure, but that just adds character, y’know?
Then there’s the whole *range* of bags. Like, Speedy? Classic. But then you got the Side Trunk, which is all trendy and cool. And the Coussin? I don’t even know *what* that is, but it sounds fancy. It’s almost overwhelming trying to decide which one to get. Seriously, somebody help me pick one, please!
Okay, so, a little rant: the *price*! Seriously?! It’s, like, a small car payment. Or, you know, a down payment on a decent vacation. BUT…and this is a big but…they hold their value! It’s, like, an investment. Or at least that’s what I tell myself to justify the expense, lol. Maybe I’m just trying to convince myself I’m not completely insane for wanting to drop that much on a bag.
And the packaging! Oh. My. God. The iconic boxes? The ribbon? They make you feel like a freaking queen opening that thing. It’s a whole experience. You almost feel bad throwing the box away (almost!).
Honestly, if you’re gonna splurge, an LV handbag is a pretty good place to do it. Yeah, it’s expensive, and yeah, you’re kinda paying for the name. But you’re also paying for quality, style, and, let’s be real, a little bit of status. Plus, it’s a bag that will probably last you longer than your last relationship. Just sayin’.
