  • It’s difficult finding an agenda that meets all of the requirements you’re looking for. Join me as I explore the pros and cons of purchasing a LV agenda. I specifically focus on the LV MM monogram and why it’s the right one for me, but the cons it has as well. The GM and pocket agenda are also briefly mentioned.
    I would love to know your pros and cons to purchasing a LV agenda if you purchased one or are thinking about purchasing one.

    Currently own a MM Damien Graphique agenda for about 7 years with minimal usage. After purchasing, I realized it was smaller than I wanted and I am ordering the GM after all of this time. Thank you for the comparison

      You are so welcome. I hope you love the GM. Lately, the space in the MM got a bit tight, so I’ve been in my GM since the end of December. Did you get your GM?

    I love my LV agendas. My ride or die is my GM and like you I do not overstuff it. One way to help keep rings from gapping is to not open by pulling the rings apart but to actually use the buttons provided. I have used it non stop for I think 6 yrs now and no gapping. I use a PM for on the go. I never got on with personal size inserts so my MMs just sat, but since I started switching over to FCC size inserts I have been happier. The coated canvas on the outside and the leather inside makes these agendas very durable.
    Unfortunately the cost of the agendas is high, but like you I feel they are worth it. They are a luxury (no one needs them to plan successfully). I recently got a pocket agenda but haven’t bonded yet lol. How do you like yours?

      Oh! I love all of these tips and helpful information. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. It’s experiences like yours that make LV a great lux planner option. I do love my pocket agenda so far. I’ve been playing with different book bound inserts, and I think I am very close to finding the right one. 🥰🥰

    I love my MM Epi Leather for the fact that it is the LIGHTEST ring planner I have. I also noticed LV rings are oval shaped which makes it so much better for seamless flipping. I wish there were just more options to choose from because I am not a fan of the monogram or checker print.

      I love what you pointed out! I completely agree with what you pointed out. Just because I love the gold hardware and these patterns, it doesn’t mean others will and more options should be available. Thank you 🤍

    The pocket one is kinda cute but won't be going on my Christmas list. I've said it before I know, but I can't get past the price when it's not even leather. Also although it's beautifully done and looks amazing if it arrives as a gift, they are seriously over-packaged and so, to my mind anyway, not exactly environmentally friendly.
    That being said I enjoy your videos immensely, and know what you mean about being wary of taking these expensive items out in public. 🇬🇧

      Absolutely! You have to do what works for you. I dragged my feet for years on my purchase until I finally pulled the trigger. In the meantime, I ended up with a massive Gillio and VDS collection and made the decision to sell it all to buy these. Perhaps going to a physical store will cut back on the packaging. I know I don’t have one near me, so I’m stuck ordering online. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it so much. 🤍

    Hi. Great video. I have the PM and MM in epi. Both purchased pre loved. I agree with you the durability will be a lifetime. I enjoy how lightweight they are. Makes for easy transport. Where did you get the gold letter "N" on your planner.

    • @dr_alvaplans
      @dr_alvaplans  Рік тому

      Hi! Thank you so much! The gold letter “N” is from a shop called Tge Rosey LifePlanner on Etsy. You can even use code NORA10 to save on a purchase. I absolutely love how durable all the LV agendas are 🥰.

      I’ve never had a problem, but friends that have had problems contacted customer service and made arrangements to either send in or drop off their agenda so LV can fix the gaping. 🤗🤗

    This is a great video! I have the LV MM and literally just got it mid- Oct. I'm OBSESSED! lol... Only thing is my popper is now loose and dreading the idea of having to get it sent in to fix. How's the popper on your LV MM?

      I had several issues with it, but the biggest problem was that I had too much overlap with my LV MM. I ended up returning the beauty 🫣. I think it would have made an excellent main planner but that would mean giving up my LV MM, and I’m not ready to do that.
