So, I’ve been eyeing this Louis Vuitton Saumur BB bag for a while now. You know, the one that got discontinued around 2010 and then made a surprise comeback in 2017? Yeah, that one. I finally took the plunge and got it, and let me tell you, I’ve got some thoughts.
First off, I did a lot of digging on the internet before I made my purchase. I spent hours on places like PurseForum reading through threads like “Saumur BB Epi” and “Louis Vuitton Saumur Crossbody Review” trying to get the real scoop on this bag.
I saw a lot of people talking about how much this little guy can hold. One person even said, “This girl packs a punch and holds a lot more than you think.” And they weren’t kidding! I was surprised at how much I could stuff into it. My phone, wallet, keys, some makeup, even a small water bottle if I play Tetris in there. It’s a real Mary Poppins bag.
I ended up choosing the monogram version. I waited and looked around for the empreinte version, but I didn’t really like the color choices. Some folks were discussing the different materials, like whether to get the monogram or the epi leather. There was even a comment from someone who said, “I’m usually not a big epi fan, but I love it in white and in that style!” It’s cool to see everyone’s different preferences, but for me, the classic monogram was the way to go.
I also had to decide where to buy it. I browsed through a bunch of websites, but most of them were selling pre-owned ones. I wanted a brand new one, so I ended up going to the Louis Vuitton store. They brought it out, all shiny and new, and I just knew I had to have it. They even let me try it on and walk around with it to get a feel for it.
It’s definitely a great everyday bag or, like one review I read called it, “the perfect Saddle Bag from Louis Vuitton…the city bag that never disappoints.” I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and I’m really happy with it. It’s stylish, it’s practical, and it’s got that classic Louis Vuitton look that I love. The size is perfect to take to a friend’s party or even a date. No regrets here!
But hey, that’s just my experience. What do you guys think? If you’ve got a Saumur BB, let me know what you think of it!
