But listen, the world of LV is WILD. You can find a red and brown one for like, *a hundred and fifty bucks* (apparently according to 1stDibs), but then, BAM, you see another one going for, like, over thirty THOUSAND dollars?! Seriously, what the heck?! I guess it depends on the size, the designer, and like, a bunch of other random stuff that makes no sense to me. Are they throwing gold flakes in the lining or something?
And the materials! You got the classic dark brown monogram canvas, obviously. But then they throw in that red leather, sometimes textured, on pockets and accents. It’s a whole vibe. I saw one described as having a “rolled vachetta leather top handle,” which, let’s be real, sounds kinda bougie, but also kinda comfy? I mean, wouldn’t you want a comfy handle on your super-expensive bag?
Poshmark is always an option to find a deal, supposedly up to 70% off! But, yeah, you gotta be careful tho! Make sure you like, authenticate the bag before you, ya know, drop a bunch of cash.
Oh, and the linings! Red microfiber, apparently, is a thing. Like, who knew?! My own bags are usually lined with… uh… whatever the cheapest material they could find, probably. But red microfiber? Fancy. And some even come with little extras, like shoulder straps, locks, keys, and a “clochette” (which, honestly, I had to Google – it’s a little leather bell-shaped thing that holds the keys). Are we trying to unlock the vault here??
