I dont know how but I ended up with 3 azure bags. I wore them this summer only with white dresses and in winter I plan to wear them with light grey etc. For me its an all year print🌟
Love, love, love the D.A. canvas. I wear a lot of navy and white (often linen) in the warmer months and I also wear it with a light blue cotton dress. Never had colour transfer from those materials. It works well with pale grey, light pink and soft yellow too. When worn as a shoulder bag pair it with light coloured tops and if it’s against the hip, pair with light grey or white pants. Dresses of course work with both. It’s my favourite canvas but items in that print seem to be getting scarce.
It amuses me as well when women complain about the Damier Azur picking up color. THEY PROBABLY WORE DARK DENIM - NEVER WASHED THE DEMIN BEFORE WEARING IT OR sweat like crazy in some dark fabric and then wonder why the canvass picked up color ? I have several pieces in my collection of Damier Azur BUT only use them spring summer and mostly always with light colored pre-washed clothing. Clean them during the summer & NEVER PUT THEM ON THE GROUND -- EVER. they are in pristine condition and I use them daily. I Have the Lymington, NeverFull MM, Sarah Wallet, key holder, cosmetic pouch & I use the felt liner to protect the interiors. Then put them away for the winter when I bring out my monograms and Emprinte Noirs
You are so wise Mona, and disciplined! You’d be amazed like I was about how many customers abused their bags 😩 I’ve even seen a RU-vidr complain about her Vuitton items, but they were all flattened as if she shoved them in a drawer! Carrying damier azure is like wearing white jeans…be extra careful and clean them frequently. Thank you Mona 🌸
I must to say....LV have lost quality! I was buying my first 3 bags around 2009 and they last so long! After I bought Neverful GM in in 2018 I think, and it was also a good buy! Last year I bought Neo Neo and 4 key holders and both of them have after 10-11 month glazing problem! Also I bought 1 month ago card holder and I have notice strange glaizng 1 week after. I also bought LV belt last year and I see signs of future troubles. Mainly it is all about glaizng in my case. Super disapointed. Card holder they exchanged, about my key holder they said it is normal, while I checked youtubers and people have it for 3-5 years and glaze is not peeling off. Wear off looks diferent from when glaze is just peeling off. About Neo Neo...SA contacted LV an sent pictures and she will contact me in next coming days. My friend have the same problem with Neo Neo and on youtube other people have the same problem. Shocking...what is going on with LV! I definetly will take a long berak from them. Will go back to other brands. Could you tell your opinion, what is going on with LV product quality?
I have always loved the look of the damier azur. Thank you for pointing out the con of the design of the Graceful damier azur bag. I would love to get a damier azur speedy 25 preloved in the future but I would go into knowing that there is a high possibility of color transfer. I am in no hurry because I would need for it to be an every day bag and I don’t see a way to keep in clean with heavy use. Tfs. You look great today ♥️
Thank you so much! 💕My skin has been so sensitive and I wondered if I should re-shoot the video, but RU-vid is helping me get over my insecurity about my rashy skin! It is what it is! I don’t know that I would properly use a damier azure…I’d have to wrap it in plastic 😂
Hi Michelle, I didn’t hear the fan at all. I was too engrossed in all the very interesting information you were sharing. Great video! Very helpful! Thank you for sharing my friend 🥰
What happened to LV bags and wallets that don't sell out once the season is finished, e.g. limited edition leathers? Where do these items go? Are they still left in the stores?
What are your thoughts on the capucines? Does it wear easily? I watched another youtuber who used to be an LV employee and she’s not recommending it. I’m trying to save for the capucines mini.
I didn't know much about Louis Vuitton when I bought my first bag which was the Totally MM in DA and I used it to death in the rain and sun and literally all year long... After the Totally MM, I got the Neverfull MM in Monogram still not knowing what I was going in for. I had no clue about the vachetta leather until after using the Neverfull to death too and then it sat in the closet for about 2 years and when I took in out again, I noticed the honey patina and I was like.. WHAT HAPPENED? And that's when I went on RU-vid and started to watch reviews and learning about the patina in the vachetta leather. I'm not a big fan of the patina... so far it I can still accept it on my Totally MM and Neverfull MM but with my other bags, I'm starting to baby the bags... I want a carefree bag but I can't get myself to like the DE print... so I'm looking at the Odeon MM in Monogram with the Noir leather right now
I haven't pulled the trigger for the DA for the reason you stated. But it's so pretty. Good point on the Twist. I have my eye on the Twist wallet/combo (price is still below 2K) but didn't think about the weight and the hardware could scratch easily. I don't own an epi leather yet why I thought that WOC would be perfect. Will look at preloved market. Thank you. Oh, what do you think about the rumor that LV will eventually get rid of all the canvas (my heart ache even typing that, wanna cry, lol) and that they're pulling it out slowly in the stores? Can you talk about that in your future videos? Thank you.
What do you think of the Hermes Garden Party bag 30 cms size? I saw several in. the pre-loved market. I have always liked the simplicity of the Garden Party compared to the Birkin. Of course, I won't buy brand new. The pre-loved items are so much cheaper.
@@dialmstyle I just want to know what you think of it, from a handbag expert, style-wise. Do you think it's too casual or is it a bag that can be used for the office or even dressier occasions?
Is Epi leather water resistant (not waterproof but not a nightmare if it gets wet and then wiped) similar to Prada’s saffiano? Or if I want such a bag should I just stick with the DE canvas? I have the new wave leather and got caught in a downpour. It looks fine after wiping but who knows. Is it not a big deal? Looking for an all weather bag. Thanks for any input and thank you for sharing.
Hey! Thank you so much for the video! I hope that you are having an amazing week. Damier Azur the white lv canvas was not good at all as you mentioned, the stains were quite bad especially during the summer. I also had the same issue with several bags and items in that canvas. Damier ebene and damier graphite are better value at least for me. Regarding the twist I must sadly agree with you. I remember that the hardware was easily scratched. Sorry for the bad spelling. Enjoy your week!
Michelle I ordered the neverfull mm canvas and the shoulder strap seem short. It fits under my armpit. No room to really throw it to the back. I had to return it. I wish he added 2 more inches on the strap. The strap is thin also it hurts. I rather put my money into a speedy 30b. So disappointing. Sorry just ranting. Love your reviews and honesty. Most luxury totes I believe have short straps. You think the graceful mm is better?
Hi Soksann! Not everyone loves the Neverfull straps! I am really not a fan of the Graceful, but I’m not a shoulder bag type! Maybe the Iena or Lymington? Those are double strap like totes. Thanks always for watching! 💕🌸
Hi Michael, I want to buy speedy 25 however really a struggle to choose from Monogram or DE? I like the print of Monogram but I also don’t want to get a bag that I need to baby it when I use it. What is your suggestion? Thanx!
Hey Just discovered you’re channel and I love it ! I purchased yesterday after a long time saving the neverfull MM in demier azur (rose ballerine). So beautiful, however I am worried about using it due to the colour transfer and general dirt so it will only be used on certain occasions. Wanted to ask your opinion on what I could to the keep the bag protected. I’ve heard some people say apple guard. Xx
Michelle, what do you think of the vintage Montsouri mini backpack? I have one from 1997. Have you ever owned any size of the vintage Montsouri backpack?
My first Louis Vuitton got me to your channel. I want to hear your thought on the following. My daughter bought me a Speedy 25 NM as a gift. That was the only one available in the store. When we looked at the bag closely at home, we noticed that a thread on the edge of the bag is broken and pointing out. I was disappointed that no one at LV noticed the broken thread and still sold it to my daughter. Do they check the quality of each item any more? I brought the purse to the store and asked for an exchange but they ran out of Speedy bags. I had very high regards for LV before this but it appears to me that the company don’t care about customer’s satisfaction any more, especially since the Speedy’s are hot item. Is the store manager inspects their products before putting them out for sale? Also, it’s very interesting that the Louis Vuitton store where my daughter bought the purse only has a rating of 3.5/ 5. I guess that says something about this store. Such a shame for a luxury brand.
Oooh ? Did not know azur is blue and white... omg... i always thought its grey and cream. But to me, it doesn't go well with the vachette leather, esp when it patinas! TFS michelle!
I agree with you on all the points you mentioned about the bag shapes. But I love my Damier Azur print 😁 and luckily didn't have any issues with color transfer until now (but I tend to wear it only with pastels, therefor I'm quite safe🤞)
Thank you for this video. I purchased a Petite Noe and I’m contemplating sending it back. It’s so beautiful but I’m concerned that it won’t patina evenly (because of the vachetta drawstring and on the bottom)… what do you think I should do?
I have a Delightful PM in Damier Azure. It is such a pretty bag but I rarely use it because it stains so easily and the strap is quite annoying as it slides off my shoulder ever so often.
I always come back and will choose the neverfull or speedy as a mom and for night Or traveling the pochette . Really appreciate your video. Other question im living in vienna austria and would love to try out to work in lv store here any advices? Best regards from vienna ♥️
I keep flirting with the idea of getting a Pochette Métis in black empreinte leather. It looks like it holds a lot while sitting flat against the body and it has a handy cell pocket in the back. Compared to other LV leather it now seems like a bargain. But do you think the QA issues have been resolved with the design and the bag is not too overdone? Any feedback would be appreciated.
I don’t have any Azur print on my collection, but I want to have the neverfull mm with pink interior. I’m still debating owning an azur print, because I keep hearing as well about color transfer. Great video and thanks for continuing giving us tips.
I have a damier azure neverfull MM for a year now and LOVE it!!! No color transfer and I wear it all year round. However, make sure you don’t wear it when it rains tho.
Hi I would need your advice in my first purchase of an LV messenger bag or backpack . I have been using LV belts and SLG’s for quite a while now but recently thought of adding a bigger bag. I would want this bag to last me for quite some years to come and would use it frequently so a cross body is my first preference or a backpack and budget would be 2000 usd max . Can you please help me with it ?
I wish I saw ur video earlier 😔 I bought the Epi Twist MM not long ago, then saw on the resellers website, they were like 2k below RRP...hurts so bad. Thank you for your helpful tips!!
@@dialmstyle Subscribed..!!! I love watching you talk about ur experiences with LV. So glad that u found a better job. Can't wait for your next video xxx
I had to look that is my Wynn resorts vacation bag! My cheap straw bag that I take to the pool and put my hat and sunglasses in, but it’s actually very useful! 😂
@@dialmstyle I like the Dameir Azur better without the strap for spring and summer. I guess it should be fine since I am not going to wear crossbody or shoulder bag?
My Damier Azur Eva clutch is so heavily pampered BECAUSE I'm so afraid of color and denim transfer. I only pull it out of the box when I'm wearing white or something much lighter in color LOL!
Haha I have it toooooo 😍 I wouldn’t say it’s ideal for an everyday, BUT I LOVE that it’s round, the size, structured yet doesn’t sag but still soft, the details on strap, the tag, the double zip, the versatility on lengths you could ware,.. Hands down one of my favorites LV bags I own 🤩 I love it that’s it’s not for everyone too 😆👏🏼👏🏼💞☺️ Great video ! 🤎
The part about the dye transferring on the bag is so true... I've had a beach-like bag from Michael Kors with off white and blue stripes & took it with me on my trip to Phoenix. Where it is HOT :) Me and my husband went for a walk in the mountains there & I whore a dark blue linnen top. You can probably guess what happend ... 😢 But ok, that bag was not super expensive like LV.
Yes! Half the people don’t know how to take care of them! I would likely spill food on it, and that’s why I would hesitate to buy it! Even looking for a pre-loved Eva in damier azure, but they all look dirty 🙁
You look having a allergy hives and I know you said you had covet and one of your videos I also got a very similar rash it put my body crazy during Covid with allergies and now I can’t eat anything with gluten or I get the rash is that what you’re experiencing? And I hope you’re doing well
Thank you…I was experiencing allergy and eczema….I found out I’m allergic to apples, peaches, and most crunchy things! I thought it was gluten at first, but no. It’s better now that my doc put me on a clinical trial, it’s helping!
Hi Michelle, I was wondering if you can give me some advice. I bought a Pochette Métis with the Fornasetti cameo print online. It hasn’t been delivered yet, it will be delivered tomorrow. Right after I bought it, I regretted it because I’m afraid that the silkscreening will wear very quickly. I don’t plan to use it every day, and I have a few silkscreen items from LV that have held up very well, but none were this expensive. Should I exchange it or keep it? It’s going to be a collector’s piece, I’m sure, but I want to use it and not be afraid.
Ooooh Dawn, that is a tough one! The art lover in me would keep it because I love collectibles like that. However I understand it’s really expensive, and if you feel uneasy about it, then you should buy something that makes you feel happy, not stressed! Would you regret it if you didn’t have it?
If you notice. Princess Diana, coco chanel, audrey hepburn and other celebs and noble. They always wear gloves to handle their bags. That prevent the leather to get dirty and discoloring. I have a few luxuries that last over 10 years and they look like brand new, even I use them for traveling. I don't wear gloves but using a little nice scarf to wrap the bag handles. Going through airport TSA I use the dust bag to cover my LV to get through security scanner. You want to be a lady, so act and have manners of a lady. You don't want to carry a lv, a gucci and show off your dirty feed wearing a sloppy thong sandals. Take care your stuffs or everything is no different. You are beautiful depending on How you take care of yourself and your stuffs.
Same I have a never full and a wallet with the DA print. I did get pen marks on the wallet and it was devastating, but my bag has stayed really clean. I don’t wear real jeans, though, I wear soft pants lol
@@yulianagonzalez2428 I ended up scrubbing too hard with a cleaner :( it took off an area of the checker print but still looks OK. learned my lesson that pens and this print don’t mix.
Really appreciated this video and it answered my questions about DA. Just purchased a 2007 Saleya PM in DA from Fashionphile. It's in wonderful condition. I'm still deciding if I should keep it or send it back. Debating if I should invest in a mon mono speedy 25 classic instead.
@@dialmstyle I'm buying the final pieces of my LV collection and considering ordering the classic speedy 25 in mono or possibly getting the mon monogram in the same bag using marine and fuschia. I've got the DE in the classic speedy 25 so may get the mon monogram. With canvas being scarce and rumors LV is phasing out canvas, who knows which way to go.😉
Great video as usual♡ you are so right about Damier Azur:) I am so in vintage and while I explored preloved market I saw so dirty condition of DA items. And till this summer I reduced to buy DA item, but I decided to purchase Speedy 30 in DA for local travel to the sea♡ and for a few trips it is beautiful ♡
Thanks for the tips sis very helpful❤️im getting to like damiere azure even though its so sensitive but I don’t really wear denim and dark outfit and Im so careful with my bags so it just ok.
Every time i see haul you made i wish i live your life , beautiful stunning stylish cute and high class . i love your channel . I am replica collector for more than 2 years, i have never seen better replicas then ones , honestly
I will never understand why people pay so much money for a status symbol, a name. Yes, I can afford an LV, but I really do not see what is so special about them.
Lv went fro. Canvas to leather I think the shud have did leather n canvas first b4 they went head first In pushing leather to try b move customers to leather n easier transition
@@dialmstyle I get that … but I jus think if the wud have introduced canvas n leather first instead of jus going in to leather wud have been easier transition
for me the crossbody strap get in the way … wat if ur mugged n the robber drag u by the strap or if u get on altercation n have to fight the strap b on the way I can jus tell a friend here hold tis n jus hand it to dem n go in …. Dat y crossbody isn’t practical for me
