Bimbos unite!

Decisions, decisions!

Ok, you know I have saved the money to get a Speedy back finally - and I thought all the time I do want it in Monogram Canvas.

But the last days I have started to think a Speedy in Damier Ebene Canvas is lovely, too - and a bit more classy for me!

I don't want to make the wrong decision, but you must listen to your feeling, right?

What do you think? (Sorry, but you are the only one I can tell

).

i do think that the damier ebene canvas is very classy and a bit more unusual. however i am personally still going to the the mormal monogram one because it's such a classic!

And MissQQ sony is a very good brand of tv. it's not a UK brand. i think it is Japanese - you'd think i'd know right! but generally our sets get very high reviews and are comparable to panasonic sets. samsung in the uk is reasonably popular - however they have very high failure rates so go wrong alot. plus i personally don't like the colours - everything looks too bright.

it's just gone 8am and i have done all my cleaning for the day. i didn't get much sleep last night so not sure where my energy came from!

I think the Damier Ebene is a better idea for one main reason: No vachetta handles.
The light, natural vachetta gets rain stains, and also since the Speedy is hand carried, the handles turn darker from the oils in your skin.

And since we are moving into autumn, I think the darker tones of the Damier Ebene are a better fit for the colder months.

darn it! now you are making me want that one!

i was on the LV site yesterday evening actually (pointing out the bags i liked to Nick

) and i saw this one - monogram idylle

it's a speedy 30 but with a different kind of canvas and a shoulder strap or across body strap. looks very nice!

and it comes it 3 different colours! but the downside is, is that it is a good £200 more pricey than the normal speedy 30 which i want.

 

[InspiredBlue]

I think the Speedy looks lovely in Epi leather as well. But the colors the they have in the Epi now aren't that much fun. Orange, red or blue Epi would be

The Idylle is pretty much the same type of material as the Mini Lin was before, I think. In that case it's more of a fabric-y canvas, not the kind that the Mono and Damier are. I don't think it's worth the extra cost, but that is of course just my opinion.

Susanne, i vote for the Damier Ebene! Very classy, i have the speedy in the lighter shades

I like the Damier Ebene too. Personally I never like the monogram canvas much, but I know that it is a classic. When I first saw the Damier Azur, I was crazy over it and wanted it very much. I have a thing for light coloured bags but they stain easily, so Ebene is a much better choice! Just go with your heart!

Thank you once again! Yes, I have to agree that Samsung gives a lot of problems. My relatives have Samsung tvs and they are always sent for repairs.

Personally, I like Sony because my old tv set is Sony and I love the colours and sound system. Panasonic isn't quite as popular here.

Is it true that LCDs larger than a certain size, say 37", will be displaying images that aren't as sharp as a smaller screen? Would you recommend LCD or LED screens?

The Idylle is gorgeous! I love it a lot but I also agree with InspiredBlue, I personally feel it is not worth paying so much for the fabric.

no i too think perhaps it is not worth the extra cost... as beautiful as it is!

i didn't know you had any LV bags! pictures?!?! i love looking at them!

so silly right? i love those cherry blossom ones... they are so fun and cute! but quite old now i think? 5-6 years ago perhaps....

It certantly used to be the case where smalled sized lcd screens were good but larger ones weren't as sharp. but not the case anymore

they display the same 1080p resolution that a plasma can.

so go as big as you'd like. and the led tv's are still lcd tv's. it is confusing because of they way they are all marketed. the led part refers to the backlight - if it is edge led it means it has white led lights around the sides of the screen and uses a mirror to light the whole area. this is why they are so skinny. a full led backlight is not so skinny however - this uses red, green and blue led lights all across the back. this makes the tv slightly fatter but the colours look amazing! and then a non led lcd tv uses a ccfl tube back light which are not so energy efficiant but still awesome colours

hope that helps.

Lou, thank you very much!

You are fantastic! So knowledgeable on the products! Hope I haven't been bothering you too much with silly questions of mine.

Yeah, Nora, any pics?

I love the Cherry Blossoms prints on the monogram canvas!

They are old, I think 5-6 yrs ago is true!

I recall that I first liked LV because of the Cherry Blossoms. Really wished and believed I could get the round cylinder bag (don't know the name) but I was still a poor student then. Of course these are LE and now I cannot buy them. Then LV came out with the Cherry prints but I didn't like them much.

no i dont mind your questions at all!

it's nice talking about thr products in a non sales enviroment!

yes the cherry print i think looked tacky the cherry blossoms were just cute and didn't seem tacky to me

and i know the cylinder bag you are speaking of! that is the one i like too. they also did a panda print on some of the monograms at one point which i thought was pretty funky!

but like yourself i was a poor student too so could only look! now i look and save!

Hi bimbos! I'm back after a not too long break

I hope everyone's doing well!

My family just left a few hours ago... It was really nice to have them around. I'm sad because I've to wait for another 1/2 year to see them again. Back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks vacation. Bleh.

My first LV is a Monogram Canvas, the second one is a Damier Ebene. To be honest, I prefer Damier Ebene more

i got it as a treat for myself last Christmas! its annoying we don't get coach in the uk! however in april next year i think they are opening a store in london which will be great! so perhaps we can finally buy online! took me ages to get my bag!! and the custom fees were crazy too! but i love it because you can wear it as a shoulder bag or use the top handles. plus i thought the colours were a bit classy and different

The wedding went really well! The ceremony was a really touching one and it made both my parents and close friends cried in joy! You bet I cried *lol* but I managed not to ruin my makeup.

I'm still waiting for the photos from our photographer. When I've them, I'll upload them here

Welcome back!

Look forward to your wedding photos!

Thank you, Lou! I will go to the shop to view the tvs this weekend.

I love the Cherry Blossoms prints so much! Too bad for us! I didn't know there was panda print but I just goggled. Looks funky, but I still like Cherry blossoms.

Thanks, girls! Awesome, Nora!

I will get the Damier Ebene

I agree it looks more classy, the handles won't turn dark(er), I love the red inside - and I think it is more elegant in some way.

There are more fakes of a Monogram Canvas I guess - while this one will be seen as a designer bag, but with a bit more "understatement" which I like.

I look forward to Saturday
