So glad you filmed this video . Since having to give in my Melie because of the canvas cracking on the sides where it folds. I have been missing having a hobo style bag . The Melie was such a beautiful bag I was so upset to have to give it up . I thought to myself just keep it Lisa ,the worst thing that can happen is that those little cracks probably wouldn’t have gotten any bigger . Talking to other friends who have experienced cracking all told me it was evident that those little cracks in the canvas would for sure turn into large ugly cracks , I was afraid if I let it go and waited longer that Louis Vuitton wouldn’t help me and I would be stuck with a bag I couldn’t repair or use . I liked the graceful mm trying it on in store way more than the Pm size for me and I totally would choose the hot pink interior vs the plain beige too . However I watched a few videos and saw people have issues with the bottom folded corners ,1 woman in the Lv group actually had 1 of her rings break ,but who knows if maybe she got it caught on something cause I’ve never seen that actually happen with LV hardware . All the issues I did see and hear were enough to make me afraid to add another Hobo style that had the folded bottom . My Melie had the same folded corners , those seemed to stay ok for me ,my issue was in the area that folds down like a wonton lol . Please let me know how this bag wears over time , it is so disheartening that these are the things we now have to worry about with LV . I just added a very vintage bag from LV , it’s my first Vintage bag and I can not believe the difference in craftsmanship and how amazingly well the vintage bag has held up and when I say Vintage I am talking from the 70’s this bag was made and still in very good condition . Whoever owned it took very good care of it over the years . No peeling or stickiness on the leather interior , which was a huge thing for me in my hunt to find this bag exactly how I wanted it . It was changed some in the 1980’s hence the reason I wanted mine to be from the 70’s and I’m gonna talk about the differences when I do the review video on it . I find myself eyeing their vintage bags and older models way more than anything new I have seen release or that is releasing . All the colors of the new Giant monogram are very pretty but to many colors in 1 bag for my taste . The azur neverfull was on my list but I chose the Sperone backpack in azur instead . For me it was the better choice and I thought I would hate the baby pink interior but I’ve grown quite fond of the light pink with Azur now . Keep us updated on the graceful mm wear and tear ! Thanks for sharing ,Have a happy 4th of July ! Xo 😘🥰 PS girl go with the toiletry 19 , I had the 15 first and I needed just a little more room and the 19 will give you that plus it’s more slim lined for bags than the cosmetic dome shape !
Lee Lee LV I really loved the Melie also. By the time I went to buy one they were already discontinued. I’m not as fond of it in the empreinte leather. I was reluctant to go with anything that had pleats or folded corners, but they have changed the canvas. It isn’t quite as stiff as the canvas on the Neverfull but not rubbery feeling either like the canvas on the Berri was. It seems to be just right. I guess only time will tell. I will definitely do wear and tear videos at the various milestones with this bag. I really hope it lasts for years to come. I definitely want to get a toiletry bag. Maybe soon!
Italida Reviews I can tell you wants in fact changed about their new canvas . In 2014 an ingredient was removed due to it being found to be harmful to the environment . It was the ingredient that actually made the canvas stiffer and more durable and if most people notice it was a lot shinier before this ingredient was removed . 2014 is also when a lot of their issues with quality began , at least its when I really started to take notice to the massive quality issues . However , I find they may have just Ironed out some of these issues through trial and error . For bags like my backpacks I think not being stiff makes them even more amazing and maybe there won’t be so many issues with canvas cracking down the road with our newer bags so it makes total sense for certain bags for others like the speedys ,I am not a fan of the softer canvas ,they were already slouchy to begin with now they feel so thin like they are missing something ,at least that’s my opinion on the new speedys , organizers help the speedy be a little less slouchy but I remember the older canvas ,my aunt still has a lot of vintage LV ,she’s the reason I decided to get one . I doubt the missing ingredient is something LV would announce to customers . I found out from a very reliable source and it made sense to me for sure . 🥰🥰
Fancy OO yea I’m kind of afraid of the DA and light pink combo in the neverfull only because it’s so open of a bag , have the Sperone which has rose ballerine interior but it closes tight at the top , it’s also microfiber so I followed a friends advice on what she did and I Scotchgarded the interior ,so far it’s working like a charm ! In the past the neverfull has never really worked for me in any combo so I no longer have 1 but can’t deny it’s beauty that’s for sure the combo of DA and light pink is just to pretty !
K Harris I want to get the toiletry 15. But they’re so hard to get your hands on. ☹️. My cosmetic pouch was purchased before I knew about the toiletry bags or I would have held out for one of them instead. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to purchase one. Thank you so much for watching 🥰🌸
Thank you for a very informative video!! I have all three prints of the Graceful MM and the Monogram PM with Pivoine. The PM has little slouch compared to MM especially if I carry my MM Agenda but still very comfortable. I guess it all depends on what you carry and the look you want. I’m sure you will be happy with either.
I bought this bag as my first every LV after watching your unboxing! I've only used it twice because I'm so scared of ruining it. Lol. I need to get over that. Thank you for the update! :)
SimplyOrganized Meg you’re so welcome! I definitely think you need to start using it. You’re not going to ruin it (unless you set it down on a flat iron like I almost just did). It’s only going to get more character. This is one of the bags I feel like just gains character and looks more beautiful as it patinas. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@ItalidaReviews Have you every thought about getting an artsy? I'm considering that as my next bag. I'd love to get it in Azur but I'm even nervous of the Graceful in mono so that's probably not a good idea. Haha
SimplyOrganized Meg I used to really want an artsy, but I’m not so sure anymore. They changed the style ever so slightly by adding vachetta trim to the top of the bag (around the opening like a Neverfull). As close as that bag sits to the armpit, I could see it getting tacky looking pretty fast. I’m so sad they changed it because I really wanted that bag. ☹️
SimplyOrganized Meg I have damier azur in graceful mm I love using it, yes got water spots, as I live in Florida but I bought a Louis Vuitton replica twilly that I’ve wrapped around the handle of my bag and it looks stunning Even bought a few charms to shuz it up a bit Let me know if you’d like the link and I will forward It’s a pretty pretty pale pink to match inside of my bag. Carry it! Enjoy the fruits of your labor! Carry it like a queen beloved!
Michelle Miller you shared it with me and I purchased it!! I’m waiting for it to be delivered because it was back ordered. 😍. The brown and pink was available right away but I liked the pink one you got. I need to learn how to wrap it around handles. I’m sure there’s a UA-cam video somewhere on it!
I own the graceful only since two months and it also has a quite dark pattina already, although i carried it just a few times and stored it in the dustbag most of the time. Anyway i also love the bag! 😊
Italida Reviews can i ask you something? I have just discovered wrinkles on the vachettastrap. Do you know what i‘m talking about? I am a little bit concerned it might crack. 😕
Thank for for this video. You are just so elegant in your delivery and tone and I’m sure you’ve heard this before - but you look like Jennifer Love Hewitt!! I am a new subbie. Thanks for all of your great videos. 😊
I’m so confused! Can’t decide on which to buy for my first purchase. This one or the speedy? Monogram or the checkered print. What’s your opinion? Which do you love more? Ty 💕
Ginger Platz one thing to first ask yourself is are you primarily a shoulder bag person? With the speedy, if you buy the bandolier, you have the best of both worlds. They both fit a ton of stuff, but I can tell you if you put too much in the Speedy it can become heavy and uncomfortable. The Graceful mm is a more comfortable bag in my opinion. If it’s your first LV bag, I would go with something you’re going to feel comfortable using a lot. My opinion would be to go with a classic like the Speedy first. That’s what I did. My Speedy is very close to my heart. I love it. But then again, I love all my bags 💕. I hope this helps.
I got my Graceful in March and it is already that honey color too, I have LV bags from 15 years ago that are only a tiny bit darker. I wish I could slow it down
Donna Rich hello 👋. I hear ya! I hope it slows down as well, but as long as it doesn’t get that black color I don’t mind the leather just darkening. At least, not on this bag. I’m not sure why it’s darkening so fast. Perhaps because I live in Texas and it’s really humid here and super hot. 🥵. I’m sure that has a lot to do with it. Thank you so much for watching 🥰🌸
I wish my Graceful MM was already patina .. I will try to use the water wipes because mine is still really light and I have had it since January. My Petit Noe that I have had since last February still hasn’t patina either... I have the Graceful in the mono with the beige... omg I love the Berry!!
K Harris try the brand Water Wipes or Hello Bello wipes. I find them to be the best. I can’t believe how fast mine is developing. I wouldn’t mind it slowing down somewhat. I don’t want it too dark too fast. Thank you so much for watching 🌸💕
Italida Reviews I’m a little confused. If you got a water spot on the strap, you used more water (water wipes) to get the stain out? Do you use the water wipes on the bag for anything else? I’m new to LV. Just got the Graceful Mono MM Pivoine, but I’m thinking I might exchange it for the PM. After watching your review I’m worried to use it. I’m not hard on any bags, but this seems like you have to worry about it.
Could I ask if Graceful is a heavy bag? I am a little bit concerned of two metal rings on the sides...Do these rings make the bag heavy? Thank you for your help in advance. Kind regards
Lillia O'Brien hello! The bag itself is very light. The rings are sturdy, but they don’t add much weight at all to the bag. The weight comes from what you carry in your bag. Also, the strap is very comfortable on you shoulder even when it is loaded down. Hope this helps and thank you so much for watching 💕
The Nerdy Confessions lol omg that was unreal. I didn’t even know they sold those kind of things! It was one of those moments you just have to share with others.
Italida Reviews I’m so glad you shared! Lol.... I mean... You can’t even tell anyway as you say there’s no label/logo for what it was advertised as! Thank you so much for brightening my evening! 💕
Meghan Desiderio it’s a great bag! You’re going to love and have it a very long time. The wipes I use are called “Water Wipes”. That’s the name of them. You can use any wipes that are 99.9% water.
@@ItalidaReviews Have you ever wondered if using the water wipes early on when you had that spot is why that the patina occurred so much more quickly? I'm really curious to know because I'm one of those people who likes it to stay vanilla light for as long as possible, even though I do enjoy the honey color when it comes, I like it to stay really light as long as I can.
Chantell Foster hello! Water wipes are a particular brand of wipes that are 99.9% water. Don’t ever use regular baby wipes as they contain fragrance and other chemicals that will ruin your leather. You can also use a soft cloth that you dampen with water.
Great review!! Do you normally keep your phone in that pocket? And does it pull your pocket down? Just wandering how I would like that. I have the Iena MM and having that outside pocket for my phone and keys is so convenient!!
Mauri Romero hello! I do always keep my phone in that pocket. I haven’t noticed it pulling the pocket down at all because the pocket is enormous. It’s wide and very deep. It’s larger than a Neverfull zippered pocket. I tend to leave it unzipped and even then it doesn’t gape open. I almost bought the Iena but I was afraid of the straps fraying near the zipper since I usually leave my bags open. Thank you so much for watching 🥰🌸.
EmilyHops * Monat Market Partner lol, if you try it, and it works, let me know!!! Please! She’s probably referring to Apple Garde. It doesn’t keep it from aging, just makes it water repellant and stain resistant. 😊
A CC I don’t own the flower hobo, but I know that the flower hobo is a lot longer in the body and has a very bulky base. I’m not a fan of the flower hobo. Also, the flower lock I find to be inconvenient. It’s very pretty but I don’t like the way it’s designed.
i love the graceful so much too i have 4 lv bags and i loved my monogram graceful so much i recently just got another in the azur print dont get the pm originally i got it and i ended up selling it to get the mm in the azur size the pm is just so small
Megan Meyer I actually want this bag in the Azur as well! I did consider the PM, but you are right. It is too small. I want the MM. I love the monogram. It’s perfect. Thank you so much for watching 💕
@@ItalidaReviews yes it is so small especially when you are used to the mm size i tried to love the pm and i just didnt so back to the store it went and i got the mm again lol
Hello! My bag is from 2019. It’s three years old, almost four. I think having a date code is extremely important for resale. I don’t like that they’ve started microchipping the bags now. I think it’s a little shady on LV’s part. Not only do you not know when your bag was made but you also don’t know where it was made. I think people want to know what year the bag is from if they are purchasing a pre-loved item. Many people don’t want bags that were made after a certain date because of quality issues. I personally will not be adding any more Louis Vuitton bags to my collection. I love the ones I already have and I’m stopping with the small collection I currently own.
Corina Ramirez omg I really thought I melted the canvas. You would have seen me fall out on camera. No lie. Lol. I’m sorry to hear about your bag. You must have been devastated. I didn’t even damage mine and I still felt like dying just from the thought of it 😦. Thank you so much for watching 🥰🌸
Italida Reviews thank you sooo much!!! I’ve literally probably watched your unboxing on this bag and your review of it at least 19 times each!!!🤣🤣🤣 I feel like such a weirdo saying that! But your review is the only really good quality one in here! I love for your reviews! Thanks again!❤️❤️❤️
I love the azure one, but every time I have ever seen one carried by someone it is filthy along the inner rim. The material, for some reason, doesn’t stay pristine. Mine still looks brand new inside. No staining on the inside rim of the opening.
I do love that bag! I can't afford it, but I've always had a thing for 'hobo' type bags. And I can see why you would've 'shit a brick' if you had burned it. LOL! Love your videos. Have a good evening
Sue Hart lol, I was seriously going to faint on camera if I had burned this bag. Then gone into a deep depression. Okay, that was a bit much.... but you get the idea!! 😂 I do love this bag. It’s very easy to use and so comfortable. If you ever decide to buy one I would recommend this one. They’re made very well and you don’t hear of many people having problems with them. They are very outrageously priced but it would last forever! Thank you so much for watching 🥰🌸
I'm from Lake Charles, and my daughter lives in Austin. You cracked me up. I carry everything and the kitchen sink too. Love the bag. I think it will be my next one.
I did purchase a couple of organizers from Pelikus. Here is a link to one. Pelikus Felt Purse & Tote... www.amazon.com/dp/B077GQ239D?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I would say this bag in the PM size would look fine with the crossbody strap. The MM I think would be really big and hang low. The Noe is sooo pretty. If you want crossbody I’d go with it. But this bag is great also. I feel like I wasn’t much help. Sorry. Lol.
Can you confirm how wide your bag is from front to back at the side/bottom? I’ve read the MM is roughly 4” (4.33” according to LV site) but I’ve seen some that are closer to 6” making it as wide as a Neverfull MM.
Hello! The website does say that it’s 4” in depth but I can assure you that it gets much wider than that. If this bag was only 4” deep it would not work for me. I can put as much in here as my Neverfull GM.
Love this bag. Thinking of selling my artsy azur mm and buy this one to replace it considering I have 2 artsy bags.in the azur and the other in the monogram.
Brie Robinson I would keep the Artsy if I were you. The original style is no longer available. All they have now are the ones that have the vachetta trim on the opening of the bag. One of the dumbest things they could have done. I love the original artsy, but I also love this bag!! Thank you so much for watching 💕
Vicky Miranda I know exactly what you mean! You can purchase any wipes that state they are 99% water. Huggies has some that I buy when I am not able to find the brand “Water Wipes”. That’s their name... Water Wipes. You can get them at Target, or Walmart. They’re a little pricier than the regular baby wipes. Look for them in the baby section of the stores that’s where they’ll be located. I hope this helps and you’re able to get the spots out. I’m the same way. Let me know if they work!
Some have had issues with color transfer. I never experienced color transfer with my pieces, but I do try to be careful. If I know I’m wearing brand new dark wash jeans I would be mindful and not allow my bag to rub against them.
I ordered this bag yesterday after coveting it for over a year at least, I guess I’ll have to find one of those pillows on eBay thanks for a great video
How do you find the strap, is it comfortable? Is the difference in the straps between monogram and DE in the Neverfull applicable also to the Graceful? Thanks so much!
Maria Desiree Federio hello! The strap on the Graceful is very comfortable! On both the monogram and the Damier Ebene prints. Due to the wide flat strap, it distributes the weight evenly. Hope this helps!
glen coco I love both bags but I favor my Graceful over my Neverfull. However, with the neverfull, you get the pochette and it has a D-ring. The Graceful doesn’t have those. If those two things don’t really matter to you then I would go with the Graceful. It’s an amazing bag. I love mine!
@@ItalidaReviews i ended up getting the neverfull gm with peony interior. Im obsessed with the pop of color!! I figured i should go for the bigger dump bag since i have 2 little kids . Thanks for your reply!
Love your review of this bag...I just purchased this bag in the Demier Ebene canvas (hope I didn’t butcher the spelling) it is a beautiful bag, saw this bag last January 2018 and I thought about it almost daily since then and I finally got and I love ❤️ it so...I’m thinking of getting another one next year probably in monogram...I think you should get it in the MM size if you decide to purchase another one...I don’t think you’d be happy with the pm size🤷🏽♀️ I’m just saying😉. Are you still loving this bag?
Gwendolyn Harthorne I absolutely love this bag still! And I agree with you, if I got another I would probably get the MM. I think you’re right, the PM would be too small for me. And I love the way this size looks. Congratulations on your new bag. You’re going to love it 😍!!
Fatima Hina I love the monogram in this style. It just looks so classic Louis to me. I was going to buy a DE one because I miss my Neverfull so much, but I ended up not getting one because the leather looked like it was literally a thin layer covering a harder piece of leather. It’s hard to explain, but it was as if the top coated layer was not fully adhered to the stiffer piece of leather beneath it. It looked rippled and wrinkled, but not in a good way like when the vachetta leather starts to wear. I still would like to get one, but it’s going to be difficult to find one I think is perfect. ☹️ Thank you so much for watching 🥰💕
You are such a funny person..I’m giggling at you so hard toots..lol Burned a damn hole..lol your a treat to watch. Which water wipes did you use..I got water spots too. I’d like to try.
Michelle Miller 😂 omg I was so worried I had melted the canvas coating. I would have been so mad at myself. Lol, lesson learned the hard way! Clear off my vanity before doing videos. Thank you so much for watching 🥰.
Michelle Miller aww thank you 🥰. I use the brand water wipes most of the time, but they have some called Hello Bello that are a little less and I’ve been buying those lately.
Sabrina Mitchell hello! Depending on what the stain is, it may or may not come out. If it’s just a water spot you can try buying the water wipes and getting it out that way. Just remember you have to do the entire bag though so it will be even. If you don’t want to chance it, just remember that eventually as your bag patinas it will even itself out and become unnoticeable. Hope this helps and thank you for watching!
I just got mine for Valentine’s Day and I can’t WAIT for that gorgeous patina!❤
Congrats! You’re going to love it! I’m using mine right now. The patina is now a deep honey color. It’s so pretty. Happy Valentine’s Day!

I have the DA with light pink. I love my bag but the corners show wear after 2 months. The quality of LV is not what it should be 😟

Even bought a few charms to shuz it up a bit
Let me know if you’d like the link and I will forward
It’s a pretty pretty pale pink to match inside of my bag.

Aww thank you so much! And it’s funny because I’ve heard from many people that I look like her, but I just can’t see it. Lol.

LV bags are so addictive...i have speedy 30 neverfull mm and graceful mm
Fatima Hina yes, they definitely are! When I bought my first one I thought it would be the only one I ever bought. Boy was I wrong!! 😳 lol.
I got my Graceful in March and it is already that honey color too, I have LV bags from 15 years ago that are only a tiny bit darker. I wish I could slow it down
Donna Rich hello 👋. I hear ya! I hope it slows down as well, but as long as it doesn’t get that black color I don’t mind the leather just darkening. At least, not on this bag. I’m not sure why it’s darkening so fast. Perhaps because I live in Texas and it’s really humid here and super hot. 🥵. I’m sure that has a lot to do with it. Thank you so much for watching 🥰🌸
Thank you for your review, does the strap stay on the shoulder?
fam t yes, the strap stays on very well and is also very comfortable. Thank you so much for watching 💕
I wish my Graceful MM was already patina .. I will try to use the water wipes because mine is still really light and I have had it since January. My Petit Noe that I have had since last February still hasn’t patina either... I have the Graceful in the mono with the beige... omg I love the Berry!!
K Harris try the brand Water Wipes or Hello Bello wipes. I find them to be the best. I can’t believe how fast mine is developing. I wouldn’t mind it slowing down somewhat. I don’t want it too dark too fast. Thank you so much for watching 🌸💕
I will try that... thank you so much for your response!
Italida Reviews I’m a little confused. If you got a water spot on the strap, you used more water (water wipes) to get the stain out? Do you use the water wipes on the bag for anything else? I’m new to LV. Just got the Graceful Mono MM Pivoine, but I’m thinking I might exchange it for the PM. After watching your review I’m worried to use it. I’m not hard on any bags, but this seems like you have to worry about it.
Could I ask if Graceful is a heavy bag? I am a little bit concerned of two metal rings on the sides...Do these rings make the bag heavy? Thank you for your help in advance. Kind regards
Lillia O'Brien hello! The bag itself is very light. The rings are sturdy, but they don’t add much weight at all to the bag. The weight comes from what you carry in your bag. Also, the strap is very comfortable on you shoulder even when it is loaded down. Hope this helps and thank you so much for watching 💕
@@ItalidaReviews Oh thank you so much for your quick and helpful replay. Much appreciated. Kind regards
The condom pouch comment was hilarious! 😂 I couldn’t stop laughing, your face expression was priceless! X
The Nerdy Confessions lol omg that was unreal. I didn’t even know they sold those kind of things! It was one of those moments you just have to share with others.
Italida Reviews I’m so glad you shared! Lol.... I mean... You can’t even tell anyway as you say there’s no label/logo for what it was advertised as! Thank you so much for brightening my evening! 💕
Thanks for sharing! Just purchased this bag for myself, loving it so far! Would you mind sharing the wipes that you use to clean the handle?
Meghan Desiderio it’s a great bag! You’re going to love and have it a very long time. The wipes I use are called “Water Wipes”. That’s the name of them. You can use any wipes that are 99.9% water.
Italida Reviews thanks so much for replying!
@@ItalidaReviews Have you ever wondered if using the water wipes early on when you had that spot is why that the patina occurred so much more quickly? I'm really curious to know because I'm one of those people who likes it to stay vanilla light for as long as possible, even though I do enjoy the honey color when it comes, I like it to stay really light as long as I can.
Hi could you tell me exactly what is water wipes? I’ve heard of using baby wipes is that the same thing
Chantell Foster hello! Water wipes are a particular brand of wipes that are 99.9% water. Don’t ever use regular baby wipes as they contain fragrance and other chemicals that will ruin your leather. You can also use a soft cloth that you dampen with water.
Great review!! Do you normally keep your phone in that pocket? And does it pull your pocket down? Just wandering how I would like that. I have the Iena MM and having that outside pocket for my phone and keys is so convenient!!
Mauri Romero hello! I do always keep my phone in that pocket. I haven’t noticed it pulling the pocket down at all because the pocket is enormous. It’s wide and very deep. It’s larger than a Neverfull zippered pocket. I tend to leave it unzipped and even then it doesn’t gape open. I almost bought the Iena but I was afraid of the straps fraying near the zipper since I usually leave my bags open. Thank you so much for watching 🥰🌸.
Just jennifer did a vid about some kind of spray she put on her leather to stop it aging (will it work on my face ha ha ha).
EmilyHops * Monat Market Partner lol, if you try it, and it works, let me know!!! Please!
She’s probably referring to Apple Garde. It doesn’t keep it from aging, just makes it water repellant and stain resistant. 😊
@@ItalidaReviews yes i think that was it.
How does this compare with the Flower hobo? Thanks!!
A CC I don’t own the flower hobo, but I know that the flower hobo is a lot longer in the body and has a very bulky base. I’m not a fan of the flower hobo. Also, the flower lock I find to be inconvenient. It’s very pretty but I don’t like the way it’s designed.
i love the graceful so much too i have 4 lv bags and i loved my monogram graceful so much i recently just got another in the azur print dont get the pm originally i got it and i ended up selling it to get the mm in the azur size the pm is just so small
Megan Meyer I actually want this bag in the Azur as well! I did consider the PM, but you are right. It is too small. I want the MM. I love the monogram. It’s perfect. Thank you so much for watching 💕
@@ItalidaReviews yes it is so small especially when you are used to the mm size i tried to love the pm and i just didnt so back to the store it went and i got the mm again lol
Hi what year is your bag and does it have date code on it? Do you think date codes are important for resale?
Hello! My bag is from 2019. It’s three years old, almost four. I think having a date code is extremely important for resale. I don’t like that they’ve started microchipping the bags now. I think it’s a little shady on LV’s part. Not only do you not know when your bag was made but you also don’t know where it was made. I think people want to know what year the bag is from if they are purchasing a pre-loved item. Many people don’t want bags that were made after a certain date because of quality issues. I personally will not be adding any more Louis Vuitton bags to my collection. I love the ones I already have and I’m stopping with the small collection I currently own.
I did melt a hole in one of speeds with a iron,sooooo sad it was my first speedy love it death .
Corina Ramirez omg I really thought I melted the canvas. You would have seen me fall out on camera. No lie. Lol. I’m sorry to hear about your bag. You must have been devastated. I didn’t even damage mine and I still felt like dying just from the thought of it 😦. Thank you so much for watching 🥰🌸
I just got mine 2 weeks ago! Please do an updated 9 month wear and tear!😁😁😁
Nessa&James Mullen Congratulations! I will definitely do an update on the bag for you. You’re going to love the bag!
Italida Reviews thank you sooo much!!! I’ve literally probably watched your unboxing on this bag and your review of it at least 19 times each!!!🤣🤣🤣 I feel like such a weirdo saying that! But your review is the only really good quality one in here! I love for your reviews! Thanks again!❤️❤️❤️
i don't know if i should get this in the white azzure or this mono.
I love the azure one, but every time I have ever seen one carried by someone it is filthy along the inner rim. The material, for some reason, doesn’t stay pristine. Mine still looks brand new inside. No staining on the inside rim of the opening.
I do love that bag! I can't afford it, but I've always had a thing for 'hobo' type bags. And I can see why you would've 'shit a brick' if you had burned it. LOL! Love your videos. Have a good evening
Sue Hart lol, I was seriously going to faint on camera if I had burned this bag. Then gone into a deep depression. Okay, that was a bit much.... but you get the idea!! 😂 I do love this bag. It’s very easy to use and so comfortable. If you ever decide to buy one I would recommend this one. They’re made very well and you don’t hear of many people having problems with them. They are very outrageously priced but it would last forever! Thank you so much for watching 🥰🌸
@@ItalidaReviews Honey, if I could ever afford one I WOULD shit a brick! LOL! But if I could, that would be the one.😄
I'm from Lake Charles, and my daughter lives in Austin. You cracked me up. I carry everything and the kitchen sink too. Love the bag. I think it will be my next one.
I love my fff box but i customized, it is worth it to upgrade... I love my box
Tina Marie I should probably upgrade so I can customize. At least then I don’t get stuck with stuff I don’t want.
Italida Reviews absolutely and they ship it so much faster..plus you have control this way...
Which organizer do you have, I have a square bulky one, I saw this video in OCTOBER and I’ve always wanted to know!!!
Oops! I rewatched the video...no organizer!
I did purchase a couple of organizers from Pelikus. Here is a link to one.
Pelikus Felt Purse & Tote... www.amazon.com/dp/B077GQ239D?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I don’t use an organizer in my Graceful for that very reason. It gets bulky. But I do use one in my Neverfull GM.
Get it in Ebene!! I think you will love it!!
I got it in Ebene on Feb. 13th and you’re right, I do love it!! 💕
Do you have the Artsy? I’m trying to decide between the Artsy and the Graceful MM. Any suggestions?
I have them both! I LOVE the Artsy but the strap isn’t as comfortable. You can’t go wrong with either.
I love this bag, but I have to have a cross body! How do you think this would look with the BANDOULIÈRE XL (monogram strap with black)
I am between buying this bag with extra strap to make it more
Cross body or the Noe. What do you think??
I would say this bag in the PM size would look fine with the crossbody strap. The MM I think would be really big and hang low. The Noe is sooo pretty. If you want crossbody I’d go with it. But this bag is great also. I feel like I wasn’t much help. Sorry. Lol.
Can you confirm how wide your bag is from
front to back at the side/bottom?
I’ve read the MM is roughly 4” (4.33” according to LV site) but I’ve seen some that are closer to 6” making it as wide as a Neverfull MM.
Hello! The website does say that it’s 4” in depth but I can assure you that it gets much wider than that. If this bag was only 4” deep it would not work for me. I can put as much in here as my Neverfull GM.
Love this bag. Thinking of selling my artsy azur mm and buy this one to replace it considering I have 2 artsy bags.in the azur and the other in the monogram.
Brie Robinson I would keep the Artsy if I were you. The original style is no longer available. All they have now are the ones that have the vachetta trim on the opening of the bag. One of the dumbest things they could have done. I love the original artsy, but I also love this bag!! Thank you so much for watching 💕
You know , your right!!! I should just keep it.
Does this bag close with a magnet or anything?
klove it has a magnetic closure, but it doesn’t stay together if you have too much in your bag.
What kind of wipes did you use on your strap?? I have like 2 water spots on mine and it’s nothing too crazy noticeable but it bugs the crap outta me.
Vicky Miranda I know exactly what you mean! You can purchase any wipes that state they are 99% water. Huggies has some that I buy when I am not able to find the brand “Water Wipes”. That’s their name... Water Wipes. You can get them at Target, or Walmart. They’re a little pricier than the regular baby wipes. Look for them in the baby section of the stores that’s where they’ll be located. I hope this helps and you’re able to get the spots out. I’m the same way. Let me know if they work!
That patinad quick...wow...My speedy is that shade & it’s from 2008
Tina Marie yeah, it’s tanning very fast! I just hope it stays nice and even! Thank you so much for watching 🥰🌸
I've heard there is a concern for color transfer with the damier azure. Have you had this or heard of this?
Some have had issues with color transfer. I never experienced color transfer with my pieces, but I do try to be careful. If I know I’m wearing brand new dark wash jeans I would be mindful and not allow my bag to rub against them.
I ordered this bag yesterday after coveting it for over a year at least, I guess I’ll have to find one of those pillows on eBay thanks for a great video
shelley Zoe you’re going to love your bag! It’s so comfortable and goes with everything!
Italida Reviews
I love it!! And it ‘s a
Made in France one!
Beautiful !!!
shelley Zoe I’m so happy for you!!! 🥰
Does this bag have a side pocket inside?
The graceful has an inside zippered pocket that’s very spacious.
How do you find the strap, is it comfortable? Is the difference in the straps between monogram and DE in the Neverfull applicable also to the Graceful?
Thanks so much!
Maria Desiree Federio hello! The strap on the Graceful is very comfortable! On both the monogram and the Damier Ebene prints. Due to the wide flat strap, it distributes the weight evenly. Hope this helps!
Thank you! Much love from Manila ❤
Terrific review. Would love to see a comparison video between the graceful vs neverfull! x
Maxine L thank you! That is a good idea for a video! I’ll try to get one put up 😊. Thank you so much for watching 💕
Im deciding on the neverfull gm or graceful mm, which do you prefer more? Thanks!
glen coco I love both bags but I favor my Graceful over my Neverfull. However, with the neverfull, you get the pochette and it has a D-ring. The Graceful doesn’t have those. If those two things don’t really matter to you then I would go with the Graceful. It’s an amazing bag. I love mine!
@@ItalidaReviews thank you so much, gonna head over to my store today and see what they have in stock.
glen coco best of luck!! Let me know what you decided on!
@@ItalidaReviews i ended up getting the neverfull gm with peony interior. Im obsessed with the pop of color!! I figured i should go for the bigger dump bag since i have 2 little kids . Thanks for your reply!
What a great choice! And that pop of color is so pretty! You’re going to love it for years to come!
What color is the Travelambo coin purse?
Plantgal 07 it’s just pink.
Italida Reviews They have like six different pinks, including pebble leather pinks. So many choices lol
Love your review of this bag...I just purchased this bag in the Demier Ebene canvas (hope I didn’t butcher the spelling) it is a beautiful bag, saw this bag last January 2018 and I thought about it almost daily since then and I finally got and I love ❤️ it so...I’m thinking of getting another one next year probably in monogram...I think you should get it in the MM size if you decide to purchase another one...I don’t think you’d be happy with the pm size🤷🏽♀️ I’m just saying😉. Are you still loving this bag?
Gwendolyn Harthorne I absolutely love this bag still! And I agree with you, if I got another I would probably get the MM. I think you’re right, the PM would be too small for me. And I love the way this size looks. Congratulations on your new bag. You’re going to love it 😍!!
That's the answer I was looking for. LV online is sold out of the Damier Ebene MM, and I was considering the PM...But I'll hold off & go with my gut!
Its on my wishlist... torn between DE and monogram....
Fatima Hina I love the monogram in this style. It just looks so classic Louis to me. I was going to buy a DE one because I miss my Neverfull so much, but I ended up not getting one because the leather looked like it was literally a thin layer covering a harder piece of leather. It’s hard to explain, but it was as if the top coated layer was not fully adhered to the stiffer piece of leather beneath it. It looked rippled and wrinkled, but not in a good way like when the vachetta leather starts to wear. I still would like to get one, but it’s going to be difficult to find one I think is perfect. ☹️
Thank you so much for watching 🥰💕
You are such a funny person..I’m giggling at you so hard toots..lol
Burned a damn hole..lol your a treat to watch.
Which water wipes did you use..I got water spots too. I’d like to try.
Michelle Miller 😂 omg I was so worried I had melted the canvas coating. I would have been so mad at myself. Lol, lesson learned the hard way! Clear off my vanity before doing videos. Thank you so much for watching 🥰.
Italida Reviews wouldn’t miss you and a video for nothing in the world..
Which water wipes did you use?
Michelle Miller aww thank you 🥰.
I use the brand water wipes most of the time, but they have some called Hello Bello that are a little less and I’ve been buying those lately.

Hi, I’m sorry I think I’m lost by your post.
I have a stain on the strap how do i get it out i dont know what it is
Sabrina Mitchell hello! Depending on what the stain is, it may or may not come out. If it’s just a water spot you can try buying the water wipes and getting it out that way. Just remember you have to do the entire bag though so it will be even. If you don’t want to chance it, just remember that eventually as your bag patinas it will even itself out and become unnoticeable. Hope this helps and thank you for watching!
So its ok if i dont clean it let it just start to patina
Love every single of your videos! And love all your bags and slgs. Just subbed to you. Hope for your return of love💞
LuxMom thank you so much! Absolutely!
@@ItalidaReviews wow, thank you!💞 i am so glad to be a member of your big YT family!
