I prefer the old version...if they were going to make a new version, they should have made it at least 2-3 inches bigger so we can fit more stuff for that price ...
I just went to the LV store to buy the current version. My concern with the new version is that it’s the same size and they added all that organization inside which actually will make it fit less inside. I want the flexibility to add more things into the big open compartment. I’m glad I was able to get one before they discontinue it! (And the current price is better. I can add my own chain strap 😊.)
Hi, Lula! Thank you for this video. I was on the German LV website. I compared the pictures of the Pochette Accessoires NM with the ones of the Pochette Accessoires LV My Heritage. I noticed 2 improvements you didn't mentioned: 1) a new D-ring on the side of the bag (under the vachette leather tab) for the added golden strap. 2) the attachment in canvas (on the other side of the bag) seems to be different. Normally, the D-ring is directly attached to the canvas part at the side of the PA. The NM seems to have a small piece of canvas sewn to the side part of the PA. Like a reinforcement. If it's correct, it's a HUGE improvement because I have seen SOOO many preloved PA with cracking canvas at this exact location on the PA. It's THE reason why I could not buy one preloved until now. We all know that LV doesn't fix canvas issues. Overall, LV offers the PA NM at a higher price (+ EUR 200 /+ about 18,18 %) BUT we have now a less "basic" bag. Included in this higher price are: 1) a substantial golden chain (which a lot of people added to their PA anyway) with a separate D-ring. 2) a zipped pocket for more security. 3) a better organisation inside with slots/pockets. 4) If I'm right, a better attachment for one of the D-rings. For me 👍. I'm excited to see this PA NM in store!!!
Thank you SO MUCH for calling out these improvements!! I completely missed the changes made to the D-rings. Thanks to you, I just added a pinned comment to this video with better photos showcasing these improvements. I am very glad to see that Louis Vuitton did not just slap a gold chain on this as an excuse to raise the price - I’m so pleased to see these thoughtful improvements made to the PA. Thanks again for pointing these out!! ❤
Hello, just got this new pochette and your description is perfect. I will say that the interior changes does take space away from the previous version, however, you can pack this entirely different from the previous version - for example - you may not need a wallet or card case as this interior allows for you to put cards/cash, etc in either the card slots or interior zipper.
I think a lot of people will love this updated version! For me personally, i don’t care for it. I bought the original version in March of 2020 for $579 and even though I’ve never used it, I’m happy to have it in my collection. I would never buy it now for the increased price.
I love it ! …… I could never get past not being able to secure cash inside the bag …. Zipper section makes it perfect for cash/cards without having to put a wallet inside. Thanks for the info 💖
Thank goodness it is not something I ever wanted. I have stopped buy luxury bags. The prices are ridiculous. I am going to enjoy the many that I already have and don’t give enough attention to.
I'm surprised LV kept the zip tail on the new one. I think they did this to compete with the secondhand market. There are so many available secondhand, so people need a good reason to buy one in store. Some people prefer to buy new regardless, and some people will be motivated by the extra straps. Once any bag becomes discontinued, the secondhand market price goes up. This actually works in LV's favor because for a bit more, a person can get one new with extra straps without all the worries that come with buying secondhand. Just a quick google shows the PA secondhand online between $750-$950 (with lower prices being heavily worn). This is all just my guess, but I think they wanted new intro bags as the alma and others slowly go up in price. 😊
This is such a great and informative video! I will be making my first LV purchase this month and this video really helped me decide whether or not the Pochette Accessories is for me :)
Love the additional organization! Adding a zipped compartment eliminates the need for a card holder or compact wallet as you can put cash/extra cards in there. I do want to note that the WOC Ivy does not have a flat slip pocket behind its zippered compartment.
Ohh thanks for the update Cherise!! Hopefully it will stay up there for a little while! I thought it was odd that it’s already off the EU site but still on the US site.
I think it’s worth the extra money. I like the chain. I like the extra reinforcement they’ve added on the loops. It needed an update first the extra money anyway.
Definitely! I was really glad to see that LV didn’t just slap on a chain and raise the price. They made some really thoughtful improvements to the design.
Louis Vuitton did it again!! I don’t think they’ll be anything under $1000 including small leather goods by the time they re-design all of their items they want everything to be super expensive which it already is and was. Thank you for the video. Very fascinating.
Thanks for sharing! I’m so glad I have the original pochette accessories. They are also discontinuing the Loewe Puzzle and replacing it with a different version, and I am so glad to have the original puzzle also.
It’s crazy how the price of this has skyrocketed in recent years. In December 2020 I bought one for 630.00$. Three years later the price has doubled. Whoa.
I like my original bag but the new one is super cute with the added features. I probably won’t purchase it because I think the Ivy Woc would be a better buy for me. Great video
Hey girls Well i purchased the ivy Woc and I am actually thinking about to exchange the ivy to this new pochette. They are similar but the new pochette is higher than the woc. For my case I would actually prefer the pochette. I thought the ivy was the best, because I was tending to buy the new favorite but damn over 2000€ 🥲 is way to much so If you are considering the type like ivy then I would get the new pochette because it’s cheaper than the ivy and it’s higher plus the ivy have cracking issues on the sides. That’s why I thought buying in black empriemente will be better but actually it’s not 🥲 I wish you good luck ❤️🌸
Personally excited on this one and although I have several already in different canvases, will be purchasing. I like the improvements they made and it’s such a great piece.
wow I actually like it! I mean considering the old model is alredy pricey--200ish more for a gold chain + the zipper compartment security/extra slots it is not too bad if you tink about it. Unfortunately i purchased the old model last year. Off the topic--do you know when is the nano Alma in monogram canvas coming out Lula? im excited about that one!
Thanks Lula for your interesting content today. I’ll wonder if they will produce this new version in all three prints? I missed out on the damier ebene and would love to have one! Best wishes fromBahrain, Rae
It is not entirely correct that they have not had large global price increases this year. I live in Denmark and we have already had two big ones in 2023.
Wow! Had to think on that one. Ya no glad I got my old model a few months ago bc these fabulous changes they are making will make the bag heavier & the zip pocket I would rather have a slip pocket bc does not scratch & I put my mini inside for loose items I want zipped if need b or dangle it from the outside lk a multi pochette. I already have that chain strap on my toiletry pouch, etc. so I don't need it. I'd rather have the open space 4 if I need it. Depends on how you use it as well. I put mine in my Neverfull a lot. Can't say I won't end up with both but for now.... I'm good.
I haven’t seen this coming in the regular DE or DA prints yet, but there will be a special edition pochette accessoires in March/April as part of the SS24 collection. It looks like DA but a larger print. I’m not sure if that makes sense. 😅 No pics yet. 😔
I think the price on this is ridiculous anyway now, and the new price with the “improvements” is just eye watering! So glad I bought mine a few years ago, as I do use it frequently when going out. Only way I would consider it is if they brought it out in DE 😬😬😬.
Insane pricing! I dislike the chunkier chain and the zipped pocket (too big for this bag imo). They're pushing it too much as a standalone bag and not anymore a bag-within-a-bag. To me it lacks details to be a standalone bag I'll willingly spend my money on.
Wow. I bought my first pochette accessories in 2000 for just under $200. I thought buying the Stephen Sprouse graffiti and roses at $400 was much. These increases are ridiculous.
Never understood the love for this; does anyone actually use it as a bag because it’s right up under the armpit for many? Would need a cross body strap for me to consider it and to be attached via D rings on the canvas both sides, not pulling on the zip.
I’ve used my pochette accessoires a lot and not one have I used that little leather strap. 😆 you’re right it’s too short. I either use it inside a tote bag, or as a purse I always use a crossbody strap. But I am happy to report that the strap pulling on the zipper hasn’t been an issue. I don’t think there’s enough weight to pull it very hard.
No, it isn’t a huge price jump between the old version and new version. What is a huge price jump is where the old version is currently priced at. I’d rather purchase the new version and pay the extra cost than purchase the old version at the current price. The old version is not worth over $1200 in my opinion. I feel the same way about the mini pochette. I feel the mini pochette is no longer worth purchasing at that price point and if you do want to purchase it then get the new version with the chain. It is a tad larger and the chain is stunning!! The additional chain also allows you to wear it crossbody which makes the bag more versatile to carry.
@@LulaWestLuxe no & unlike the 'pricer names', the quality is still incredible where I've been hearing about Chanel's quality dropping while the price continues to climb & similar complaints about other big name brands.
