(Louis Vuitton Neverfull Bag Review)The last few months have been somewhat emotional and stressful (My manager called me out for using this as an excuse for my previous few purchases, which included my LV Key holder and my Car, lol), so I wanted to treat myself again YOLO.
I have never really been too fussed about buying pieces from luxury designers, yes, I have owned a few pieces here and there, but I have never really coveted a designer item until recently.
Until this year, the only LV items I had owned were a purse that my mum brought me on my 21st (that I lost) and a Key clay that I tricked my parents into buying for me while we were in Hong Kong, which I used as a cardholder until it fell apart.
Last month I dipped my toe into LV ownership when I purchased the LV Key Holder to celebrate finally buying a new car. This was my first time seeing the LV Neverfull with the hot pink lining! HOT PINK!
I will have to consider this because it is meant to happen seriously.
After that, I became obsessed! Reading blogs, watching reviews and unboxings on YouTube. As far as I was concerned, I had to have that bag.
The plan was to wait until my birthday, but after a practically stressful week, I thought to fuck it, and a work event in London was the perfect excuse to swing into Selfridges to make my purchase.
For those who don’t know Louis Vuitton Neverfull Bag Review…
Introduced in 2007, the Louis Vuitton Neverfull quickly became one of LV’s most successful bags.
Though of by most as the type of bag that will never go out of style and can be worn throughout any trend or season and is available in three different sizes: PM (small), MM (medium) and GM (large)
I now own the GM, which I think is fine as I am tall (I’m 5’9 for reference). The only problem I foresee is that when I have a large bag, I find unnecessary things to put in it, lol!
The Louis Vuitton Neverfull comes in four different colours/patterns. Mine is the Monogram Canvas with the “Pivoine” Hot Pink interior – Anyone who knows I adore pink, so this was the perfect option. The bag is also available with a beige or cherry-coloured interior.
Then you have: Damier Azur Canvas which is available with a Beige or Rose ballerina lining.
Damier Ebene Canvas which is available with a Cherry or Rose ballerina lining
Epi Leather is leather, hence the higher price point, and is available in several colours and finishes.
Other than the Epi Leather style, the Louis Vuitton Neverfull bags are made from a coated canvas exterior (no, it is not leather) and have a textile-lined interior and a natural cowhide leather trim. There is one zippered interior pocket and a removable zippered wristlet which could also double up as a clutch – one of my favourite bag features, as it is like having two bags in one!
The shape of the Neverfull is very loose, and the sides aren’t rigid, which means the bag easily conforms to anything you need to add inside. It’s incredibly well-made and can withstand decades of use. I did purchase a bag shaper as the bottom of the bag is very soft, and I wanted to make sure that it did not become misshapen.
With the hefty price tag of £965, I have had my fair share of buyer’s remorse and criticism from well-meaning friends and family but YOLO.
Either way, I will have bills to pay.
