Five Reasons To Buy Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag

I stumbled upon this article the other day and if this doesn't send you "running to your nearest boutique (or online via vuitton.com or eLuxury)" I don't know what will. Well, granted you don't have it yet :)

You know how men think that we spend too much on clothes/shoes/bags? As sad as it is, they might be right, unless… we want to buy some iconic item, like Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Bag! If you consider buying a designer bag, but still haven’t decided which one, here are the 5 reasons that will make you run for that Speedy Bag to the nearest Louis Vuitton boutique:

Reason 1
[The Speedy], with its notorious Monogram Canvas and classic silhouette, has been in style for years and years now, so once you get it, you can be sure it will look fashionable and [remain] in style as long as you have it (which is not always the case, especially with the “it” bags of the season, like this summer’s Prada stripe hobo etc.)

Reason 2
[It] comes in four sizes, which means you will definitely find the very right size for you ( I personally think Speedy 30 is the best as it is neither too small, nor too big).

Reason 3
[It] goes with EVERYTHING, from jeans to cocktail dresses. The only thing you can not pair it with is a red carpet gown. But when it comes to that, I think you will splurge for a nice clutch, will not you?

Reason 4
[It is] made of calf skin and is extremely good in use, here is what Louis Vuitton says about it:

"[the] Monogram canvas is lightweight, supple, strong and sturdy. Completely waterproof, it is highly resistant to surface scratches - perfect for travel and contemporary lifestyles."

Which is always a good thing, because getting a new designer bag made of soft leather and having it scratched the same day is the worst post-shopping scenario!

Note: I would like to correct this information. The Monogram Canvas literally is a canvas and as LV claims it is lightweight, supple, strong, sturdy and everything else it promises. However, leather it is not! The only leather (calf skin) you will find on the Speedy would be the handles, chapes and piping.

Reason 5
[It] is perfect for travel. It holds all your valuable belongings and at the same time makes you look stylish, which is not [easy to pull off], [after] hours and hours of [traveling].

Extra Reason (aka The Money Reason):
Last but not least - [the] Louis Vuitton Speedy is one of the very few designer bags that says Style and makes you look fantastic and fashionable 24/7 without making you go bankupt. The price [starts at] $675.00 and [goes up to] $750.00, which pretty much makes it the best investment a girl can make!

Oh, and [although] being the biggest fan of eBay, [I recommend you] opt for a Louis Vuitton boutique to make sure you get an authentic piece, [and not something from] NYC's Canal Street.
