This is the bag I've been lugging all of my stuff in, for the past couple of months. The Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Speedy 30. I bought it back in 2007, and it's proved to be a worthy investment. I love taking it out of it's dust bag, at the first signs of Spring! At three years old, it's still holding up really well, although I do miss the ivory tone of the leather it had when it was new. Here it is when I first brought it home.
Wasn't it pretty? As soon as I switch to my "Fall" bags, this one is going in for service. I'm going to have all of the leather replaced, so that next Spring it'll look brand new.
So, back to what it looks like now.
It's hard to tell by this picture, how much stuff is in there, but it holds a ton! Here's another pic. I had to hit it with a little flash because it was too dark in there.
Inside my LV, I have a Purseket to help keep me organized. Otherwise, everything would be floating around, all over the place.
Here's the whole thing emptied out. I'm surprised I don't need a chiropractor!
Vintage frames for my prescription glasses. (I'm near sighted)
Louis Vuitton Vernis Koala Wallet and 4-Key Holder in Pomme, broken key-less remote for car and mini lip gloss by Lola. (Which is probably rancid because it's so old. Does Lola even exist anymore?)
Random mail to go out, plastic bag full of pharmaceuticals and deodorant, Paul & Joe for Target coin purse (usually I keep this in the car, full of quarters for the meters. It's in my bag as a reminder to replenish), and Louis Vuitton Damier Pouchette (used as a makeup bag).
