LV Gem

I swear I must have been dozing or completely out of it.  I had this bag in my hands (when I got all the new-ish Speedy 35 sized bags) and I totally forgot about it.  I'll tell you why I forgot about it. I had a girlfriend, RACHEL, "steal" both bags from me.  Yes, I went there.  Well she paid me for them but I totally forgot I had them in my possession.

Man, the Alzheimer's is starting to kick in early with me.  I remember even thinking to myself, Oh man I cannot wait to share this beauty the gang!

So without further ado, here is the gem:

Wow!

What a bag.  It's everything I love about designer bags and then not.  It's LV Monogram without all the LV Monogram.  Get what I mean?  It's having the designer touch but without trying too hard to fit in.  It's about being different enough to have your own style without needing to fit in and it's about carrying that difference with pride.

Love this bag.  Usually hate, HATE Speedy anything.  Will be getting this bag again since RACHEL stole my other ones ;)

This one is black and orange


But it also comes in a dark brown (swoons) and blue (double swoon)!


Absolutely awesome quality since I called RACHEL this morning and she's been using her bag non stop since April.  She reports back that it breaks in nicely and that the leather gets better looking with wear and tear.

This bag, because it's SUPERIOR quality and because it's all leather and because the US dollar is at an all time low (trust me I hate this too), is a bit on the pricey side at $260.00USD (for a Speedy handbag) but that includes the shipping and the inspection service.  The latter is to ensure you don't have to deal with customs, you don't have to deal with duty and you know that I have personally inspected the bag to ensure it is of top quality.

Both bags are now on the site, ready to buy!  See the black and orange one here, the dark brown and blue one here

Happy Shopping!!
