FASHION, Louis Vuitton, Uncategorized LOUIS VUITTON ‘NEVERFULL’ PM BAG 28 September 2009

Whilst shopping in the new Ion Orchard in Singapore, I made a beeline for the Louis Vuitton boutique, which is huge. Absurdly, we had to queue to get in. It was jammed packed with people inside, like there was some sort of mega sale going on. Sadly, there was not. Everything was full price (LV never goes on sale), we’re in an economic recession, yet people are still merrilly buying their hearts out.

Well, if you can’t beat ’em, JOIN ‘EM! πŸ˜‰

Spent over an hour with Mum trying on various bags, making the poor salesman drag down bag after bag for us to paw. He was absolutely lovely though, really attentive and patient, despite the store being so crowded and us taking up so much time. Poor Dad was left on the couch where he was so bored he eventually got up to look for us πŸ˜› After much deliberation, Mum decided she wouldn’t get a new one after all… but I DID!!

I actually walked into the store intending to get the Louis Vuitton ‘neverfull’ PM bag. But whilst I was there, I spent ages trying on different bags, wanting to make sure I got the “perfect” one. After all that, I still ended up reverting back to the Neverfull.

I just love how it’s incredibly light but sturdy, can expand out if I need to stuff it, and has thin handles (the thick ones slide off my shoulders). I also like how it’s waterproof and won’t get dirty easily, and how there’s no huge LV logo(s) all over it. The downside is that it’s the most popular bag, so every bum on the street has it too. D’oh! It was the reason why I was looking to get another style, but in the end I decided I love the Neverfull too much πŸ™‚

Mine’s the Damier print and whilst Mum has the identical bag, hers is the Monogram print. It’s the small PM size, because the larger ones dwarf me. It fits beautifully on my shoulder and makes the perfect, casual, everyday bag. I’M LOVING IT πŸ™‚


The sight of just the paper bag is enough to make my heart skip a beat –
how sad is that?! πŸ˜›

Ohhhhh! I hate you mainly because 1) you have a new LV bag and it’s so prettiful! and 2) because your LV sales guy was so nice. Ugh, the people here in Southern California LV stores and counters never seem to care when I come in.

i love how the handles don’t slip off, one of the few LV bags that don’t on me! There are different sizes to the bags so try calling LV in SG and they’ll be able to tell you prices of the various ones

Cute cute cute! I’m due for a new LV bag. It’s funny cause I kept the paper LV bags. I don’t plan on throwing them away but they are so pretty even though it’s just a simple brown bag. LOL

Ohhh, so nice! I can’t tell how big it is, though. It does look big but I guess its not normal tote size? But really a nice bag and I really do love totes…but a line? A line?

Holy cow!

LV Bag

The old lady from downstairs has a bag remarkably similar to this one, as probably 10 other people I saw today. Funny how living in China puts “luxury goods” in the right perspective. They’re actually so ubiquitous here in their “fake form” that the brands turns completely cheap, revealing its true design.

Re: LV Bag

Yes sadly, China fakes so many bags.. but hilariously, most of the Chinese I see here in Shanghai carry authentic bags. It’s the tourists here that carry the fakes πŸ˜‰

At least it’s easy to tell a mile off a fake, because the quality is horrendous.. especially once you know what an authentic one looks/feels like

so you just lined because other people lined, but you could have got that bag from any LV store on Orchard??? You’re such a good marketing target! I want to open a store just for you and Erica, I’d make a fortune :p
Btw I’m working on the PayPal Marketing team (secondment til the end of the year) with Cheryl too, go Asian power!

Haha that store has a queue too on the weekend, but I went to the new ION boutique to check it out, so of course would buy it there instead of walking to another store to queue up YET AGAIN just to buy the same bag πŸ˜‰

Ooh you’re not on the eBay team for the next few months then going back? Will be a fun change! Matthias might move over soon to be with you girls πŸ˜‰

that’s something I never really understand about Singapore! There’s ALWAYS a queue outside LV, Gucci, etc. I can understand if a queue is forming outside Coach and Kate Spade. But, LV is just not something people buy everyday? :p

That aside, that’s a really lovely classic bag! Looks big enough to put quite a bit of stuffs in too! πŸ™‚

Love the red lining in the bag, very classy. And LOL at your description of the poor accommodating salesman and the LV carry bags – I am the same, I can’t bear to throw the bags away but don’t use them for anything, either.

The red lining is what I like about it over the Monogram version. I collect all these high-end paper bags that just sit around… but I can’t bear to throw em away either!! πŸ˜›

I agree! It’s a waste of money to buy something sooo similiar when you can just borrow. I’d do that with Mum, but she lives in a different country so that’s kinda hard πŸ˜›
