LOUIS VUITTON NEVERFULL REVIEW AND COMPARISON

After posting a "What's In My Bag?" Video a month, or so ago on my youtube channel, I received quite a bit of feedback wanting a comparison of my Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM and GM bags. I have always been a lover of handbags, and jump any chance I get to chat about them! The Louis Vuitton Neverfull is by far one of my favorite designer bags and, if your budget allows, is a great investment piece. It is the most versatile, and classic bag (other than the Chanel classic flap-of course), on the market, and I don't foresee it going away anytime soon.

I have always had this impulse of overusing something if I love it. Whether its my favorite restaurant, meal, movie, or clothing store, If I love it, you will find me there nonstop! However, when it comes to handbags, I haven't really been one to "repurchase" the same bag. This could possibly be because there is always another bag on my list, that I want to purchase, but when summer rolled around this year the only thing I could think about was the Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM in the Damier Azur print. I have been collecting Louis Vuitton for several years now and I do really love the brand. In order to complete this post, I wanted to give a little backstory, on why it is that I have TWO different versions of the same handbag. So, if you are here strictly for the comparison of the MM and GM, skip down to see that!

These bags are very similar, and also different, in quite a few ways. I will describe each of them individually and then review the bag itself, setting the size aside.

For Christmas in 2012 (my senior year in high school), Jay gifted me my very first Louis Vuitton piece, which was nothing other than the Speedy... I had dreamed of this handbag for years, and although I don't find it quite as practical, I wouldn't trade it for the world. These days, if I had to recommend one designer "starter" handbag, it would be the Louis Vuitton Neverfull. Fast forward two years, I had completed my associate's degree and just got accepted into the 4-year school of my dreams, The College of William and Mary. I was so excited and let's be real, I was proud, really proud�C and I couldn't wait to start classes that Spring 2014 semester. My parents took a little holiday trip to Vegas and when they came home, they gifted me my Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM bag as an acceptance gift. This was a moment I had looked forward to since I was in 1st grade. My cousin went to William & Mary, and I just prayed one day I would get the chance to study there too.  My parent supported me through that entire process, and the stressful years to follow, and surprised me with my second Louis Vuitton bag as a gift! A little over two years later, a few weeks after graduation, I wanted to treat myself to something as a graduation gift, because those two+ years were not the best. Needless to say, I did a lot of learning in the books, and about myself during that time. I wanted a bag that I could carry in the summer months, that would be versatile and easy to maintain. I knew, after a short amount of thought, that I wanted to purchase the Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM in the Damier Azur print. Especially after seeing the Rose Ballerine interior. Can we say stunning? There was a moment that I thought I might have wanted a Celine luggage tote, but I just don't know that they are "timeless investment" like the Louis Vuitton bags. So I purchase myself the bag and now we are here to compare them!
Lois Vuitton Neverfull
In general, the Louis Vuitton Neverfull is an iconic, luxury bag. In all honesty, I feel that any lady who is a lover of luxury goods, and handbags should own at least one size, of this bag. I do believe that each bag serves a different purchase, however I do not own the PM size, so I cannot speak for that. Between the MM and the GM sizes, I have found that they each greatly serve different purposes, which you can read about below. The Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag is a classic tote style handbag. Introduced in 2007 by Louis Vuitton, the Neverfull features a canvas exterior and textile lined interior. The bag is trimmed in natural cowhide leather trim, including two straps for carrying the bag. Each Neverfull, now comes with a detachable clutch that can be attached to the interior of the bag and used for additional storage, or remove and used on its owns as a pochette! This is one of my personal favorite features of the bag. You basically have two bags in one, that are wonderful on their own, or work great together. The bag, and detachable clutch, each feature gold plated hardware, that matches well with each canvas option.
