LV Bag

Collected my bag at MBS. Didn’t take them long for repair , I sent my bag in on Les Mis musical day, waited for only 2 weeks.  

Was complaining to staff that the crown (cap) keeps dropping off. Staff thought coz never use for long so spoil but I said I used it daily. 

Happy to get my bag back, so tired to arm sling my current Kiki Delivery 🐈‍⬛ bag

Repaired bag 

The previous crown & zipper pull that dropped out. Dunno why I kept this? For souvenir? The last time I sent my bag for servicing was in July 2025, the day I met W for lunch at Ion. And the last last time was July 2024! 

Was looking at the bag and make a comparison with the other bag I was carrying. Why can’t they use this huge zip pull on the pochette? The crown looks more sturdy.

Anyway, I just need to understand why the crown just keeps dropping off from my pochette accessoires shoulder bag. And then I realised I’m the one spoiling the bag! 

So what made me use this shoulder bag as a sling bag for daily use to almost everywhere was that I noticed I hardly use it for few years coz I used to use it for dinners or better-dressed events. But like my friends all around me are married I don’t need to use it as an evening bag anymore, also how many musicals do I go in a year now? I saw LV were selling pochettes as crossbody sling bags so I thought I might as well convert my shoulder bag to a crossbody sling bag. 

The vachetta leather strap is connected to the zipper pull this way, so did my long mock leather strap (I wasn’t going to pay $725 for the strap so got one from Taobao for less than $5. 🤭)

 But when this part is heavily used on a daily basis. Even when I put in the cabinet for storage after an outing I always hang it on a hook. I evitably gave stress and weight to the crown. With the way I treat my bag, 迟早都给我弄坏。In conclusion I was the culprit who didn’t take good care of my bag 😂. 万幸是 repair is complimentary. 

Comparing to the other much newer pochette models I saw before. Upon closer inspection…..

they have the ring to secure the clip

I will not spoil this shoulder bag anymore. Keep it aside for the day my girls get married 😄. How about my small daily crossbody sling bag for now? I really don’t know how. I have another Kiki Delivery sling bag I bought from  Seoul’s Donguri Kyowakoku but I really can’t put many things in there. 

I was thinking that since I used this Mini Sarria bag with a darker colour strap when I went over to US for che-che’s graduation (I put the strap on our sightseeing days so I didn’t have to pack another bag and removed it when I went for her graduation. I was able to change from formal to casual with this bag. Smart right? 😉), should I use this instead? But it looks too extravagant-looking when I’m in my shorts. The pochette made me look simple. Sigh….think think think 🤔 

GOOD TO KNOW

Not that I’m selling my bag. 

I bought my bag cheaper than SIN’s price. I bought it in Europe and how much it has increased. My bag is well taken care of, I do clean my bags often.
