Delightful and Speedy Comparison

[@ambermontgomery6116]

You're so cute and I love your energy and that you didn't play annoying music or anything in the background. You have the best energy and I love how happy you are just to have your bags, and it makes me happy FOR you!

[@ClairMatthews]

I love that you're so passionate about your bags! my eldest daughter & I have been like that for years & we thought we were the only ones that 'got' it.. xx

[@glossypanther]

I so love your videos..I am a bag lady myself and am continuing my LV collection I have four so far..and I love them. We all collect something for goodness sakes. The more I see the bandouliere the more I am considering selling my LV Speedy 35 for the version with the strap. Much Thanks for sharing your "Joy of LV Bags". Be Well!

[@Queenmom313]

You crack me up! I love when you were looking around to choose stuff to put in your Delightful (5:11) and you said "And what else?" and then you spun around with the Speedy...I thought "Oh my gosh, you're going to try and put your speedy in there!" Silly me! Love the new bag! You make such fun and informative videos! Thank you!

[@135LV]

I can see that you LOVE the delightful. Congratulations. You are so happy today and I love to see you so happy. You make me want a delightfull too. Enjoy ur new bag and great review.

[@vawterlove]

Listening to you talk just makes me happy! I just love your video reviews! xo

[@captmara]

Awe, that's nice to hear. Thank you for that:).

[@captmara]

Thank you so much. Please let know when you get that amazing bag. How exciting!

[@captmara]

Congratulations on your new purchases. You will get lots of use out of them. Yay for you. Thanks for sharing.

[@captmara]

Thank you, Sweetie. They are both such great designs that I can find little flaw. When I have more folders and work oriented items, then I find the Delightful to be a great fit. For errands, I go for the totally more. I hope that helps. The Delightful holds more.

[@FaithOB]

I love the delightful- great review on both of these bags!! :) I am actually considering getting the Delightful PM or MM for my mom for Christmas :) Thanks again for your review. It truly makes my day when I see one of your videos :) Thanks so much Mary!

[@1967avl]

Great video! I've been eyeing this bag for a while - can't decide between PM and MM. I'm like you - I did not get my first LV until my 40's, although I had admired them for years.

[@pinkie4421]

Mary, I was able and blessed to have picked up the Totally PM and the Delightful MM. I so understand you so much more...thank you for your insight.

[@Angelique611]

Hi love your videos.... I have to agree with you I love my delightful. Having a hard deciding which speedy 30 to get. I will watch your videos to decide. Thanks again.

[@captmara]

Tandi, what a lovely thing to say! Thank you so much. I hate it when a person thinks they need to lose weight to be a better person. I just want the self esteem that comes with me being a bit thinner. It was lovely seeing you, too:)!

[@captmara]

So true...I'm amazed at how almost everything else will fit into a smaller bag. I'm trying to go for the slouchy look with the Delightful. If I had to get only one LV, it wouldn't be that bag. But because I am fortuanate enough to have more than one, I'm glad to have it in my collection for varieties sake.

[@captmara]

Thank you for asking. I hope to make one this week.

[@kateaz333]

Thanks doll! I've watched this video before but came back to it- I'm considering selling my galliera pm for the delightful... .. Decisions decisions

[@captmara]

Great question. The Speedy. It is the best first time bag as well as overall bag to own. You'll love it. Thanks for asking.

[@captmara]

It is truly my pleasure. Thank you for your consistent support. I truly appreciate it!

[@MSpanders10]

I love this video and this bag, your excitement is so adorable. Thanks for another great video.

[@captmara]

Awe, thank you:)!

[@FaithOB]

Mary- just a quick note. You're SO amazing you already have 44 likes!! That's so cool!! We all appreciate you. Keep your videos coming :)

[@suzie52610]

Great video! I agree the Speedy is a classic handbag! I need to add one to my collection. Hopefully will be getting the Speedy Bandouilere in the next few months. Love your videos!

[@captmara]

I'm glad cause I don't ever seem to tire of it:). Thanks for the fun comment.

[@pinkie4421]

I have both the Delightful MM and the Galleria PM...adore them both, and use them differently.

[@captmara]

One of my favorite things about doing these videos is meeting others who share the same love for handbags:). Thank you for being a part of these videos with me.

[@FaithOB]

Mary- it would be great if you did a video on all of your bags, accessories and SLG's from all of your brands. I notice that you have so many amazing designers and it would be such a treat to see a video on your full collection :)

[@captmara]

You will love it! It's strange how each bag warrants it's own positive recognition.

[@MsClathrin]

Thanks for the great review! I would love to see a review of your new Bloomsbury - I love the idea of crossbody bags (although I am more of a tote person). I was also curious to know, have you ever purchased any LV bags that you had a change of heart about, and perhaps culled from your collection?

[@captmara]

That is a fabulous thing to hear, haha. The sound of the LV zippers get me every time:). Thanks for making my day.

[@Bz1360]

Fun video! The MM looks perfect on you! Its such a beautiful comfy bag. I understand the excitement of wearing and switching out LV bags for certain days:)

[@captmara]

Thank you so much for asking. However, I really have not attempted to clean the vacheta so I'm ilequipped to make that video. BJ Taylor 02 has one I think. I'll let you know if I discover any good videon on this important task. Thank you for being a part of these videos.

[@captmara]

Now I feel especially happy to have it with your support:). It's true, you have a great perspective on these wonderful bags.

[@captmara]

I'm so glad. Thank you for taking the time to let me know.

[@verom2743]

I'm so glad to hear that you had an Arsty and got rid of it because you felt it wasn't for you. I have an Artsy MM and I think it's beautiful to look at, but I don't use it very much. Every time I tell someone that I'm thinking of selling it (to fund a Delightful MM) they ask me if I'm crazy, they talk me out of it and make me second guess myself. Hearing you say you got rid of your Artsy makes me feel like I can do it!!! Thanks!!!

[@captmara]

I do think that the Artsy is one of the prettiest bags to look at. But I'm telling you that having the Delightful is a MUCH better bag for me. It's light weight and holds lots. Good luck with your decision.

[@captmara]

Those side pockets do make a difference. Incidentally, I love both the Delightful and the Totally for those days I like to chill or need to relax, if you will. Thank you for sharing these videos with me:).

[@dlm11132]

You have the best handbag reviews! I am late to the delightful party but will be getting a an old model delightful mm bag. Have been wanting one for a couple of years but want the old model.

[@captmara]

Have you heard that the old model is better made or something? Congratulations on your soon-to-be-Delightful!

[@dlm11132]

Some seem to think that the old one has a higher quality. The new one is a little smaller, the hardware may be lighter (rings), smaller pocket, etc. Plus I just like the Louis Vuitton spelled out on the strap. Since this writing I may be switching to get a older model Noe. Thanks for your reply.

[@captmara]

You cannot go wrong with either one. It will probably come down to whether you prefer the more structured bag vs a more slouchy one. Both have easy access to the inside of the bag while on your shoulder and both are comfortable to wear.

[@captmara]

I'm not out enough with my bags to experience fading. However, I have heard that it does happen. I've also heard of persons looking at two authentic ebenes and they be slightly different in shade. Crazy huh? Thank you for sharing.

[@aml716]

thanks for your insight (as always)... btw i noticed you're a stella and dot fan. i LOVE their statment necklaces. the isadora bib and the femme fatale are my FAVES!

[@FaithOB]

Lol- you're right I did question it... But it's nice hearing it from you to remind me. :) Take care and have a blessed day!

[@midgreen100]

Looks great. Relaxes with you. Best size.

[@naygulf]

Thank you so much for a great video,Waiting to see your beautiful LV collection.pls take care.LVoe.

[@butterlite100]

Hi Mary, I love your videos! Do you use your delightful mm a lot? I find that the strap sliped off my shoulder and it got heavy very fast (I dont carry a lot..wallet phone, keys, small wallet, Burts bees). My shoulder hurt after carrying it thru the mall. Have you had any similar experiences? Has your strap broken in? Which is more comfy...the delightful or the neverful? Which do you use more? Thanks!

[@xraygigi]

mary, i loved the whole video..but my favourite part was at 10:44, when you hugged your bag! ahhh...after years of debating, i finally bought the delightful pm..and i know and understand how you feel...xx =)

[@akaydoll]

If you can could you do a whole Louis vuitton bag collection video?! =)

[@StellaNaturaRay]

Hi Mary, hope you are doing well. :). Do u prefer your delightful over your Totally or vice versa? Your reviews are soooo helpful!!

[@KristinHartleyy]

Maybe I'm weird, but I LOVE the way it sounds when you change things out between bags ;) haha. Great review

[@rickybobby3043]

I must say!! You do a pretty awesome! review. Very relate-able and great personality!

[@ddgladiva]

Great video as usual. LOL about the scarves. I love scarves too so I understand...

[@swade0927]

I'm trying to decide between the Delighful GM and MM...those darn zipper pockets are so cute!!

[@captmara]

Thank you OB with lots of faith:)! I'm working on it...

[@pinkie4421]

I finally got my own Delightful MM, ugh..... so in love.

[@MultiBoss33]

I have a Delightful PM BTW and I love it! Nice size bag.

[@mycorreia]

Great review, my mum has the Speedy 35 Damier Ebene, she took it on holiday to a sunny island, I noticed when she got back that it had faded. I have the same bag in the 30 and my print is lovely and glossy with rich colour. My question is have you experienced colour fading to your Damier bags? If so, do you think bright sunlight affects the canvas? I would appreciate your advice if you have some time. Thank you. BTW I love your LV collection, you're my inspiration x

[@glossypanther]

...you know ..I never considered having both..I think that is a wonderful ideas..I will get the speedy bandouliere and keep the speedy I already have. Be Magnificent

[@MissCielle101]

Hi Mary! Thanks for another great video! I love the Delightful and I have it in the GM size, but since I also have the Galliera GM, and that is the bag I am practically using all the time, except when it's raining, then I use my Speedy b DE - I hardly use my Delightful (The Delightful and the Galliera in a way seem so similar...) But now you made me want to take out my Delightful again!! ;-D Cielle xoxo

[@privatejoy001]

Great review! I have the Delightful GM and absolutely love it, of course I had to have the zippers :)

[@captmara]

That's a great idea. I'll add that to the video list. Thank you! Hope you are well.

[@kuhikagupta]

I am saving for my first Louis Vuitton bag! If you to choose, would you pick the Eva clutch or the speedy as your first bag? Thanks :)

[@captmara]

Hey there. Thank you for asking. I do have a video on a type of scarf called Love Quotes which I really like. Please check that one out. Perhaps I could do a Stella and Dot video as their scarves are wonderful, too. Hope you are well.

[@captmara]

IDK, my bag sister, I'd consider keeping the one you have AND getting one with the strap. They are different enough to warrant both styles. Could you get the one with the strap before you decide to part with the one you have? Just a thought...

[@forthrloveofbags]

Hi again, I purchased my Delightful today. I was wondering though around the leather trim on top of bag, can you feel a bit pokey or sharp area on side of bag where the leather over laps? I'm just curious if over time if it will tear since bag bends a lot in that area. Thanks for your help just want a second opinion on how your bag is before I drive back to store tomorrow, might not be necessary if that's just how they are.

[@captmara]

That's wonderful. Perhaps it makes us appreciate this brand more, who knows. I'd love to see a video of your collection. And i don't think you could go wrong with the PM or the MM. Let me know what you decide please. I'll die of curiosity if you don't:).

[@captmara]

I personally use the Neverfull more than the Delightful. I usually prefer two handles over the one. That being said, concerning a one-handled bag, the Delightful I think is a good one. I know what you mean about the weight. These days across a mall finds me with a crossbody and occasionally a backpack bag.

[@captmara]

That's a great idea. I'll work to have one up for you by next week at the latest:). Thanks for asking.

[@captmara]

Why, thank you very much. That means a lot to hear:).

[@captmara]

Thank you for sharing that with me. Now you are giving me the faith:). You awesome.

[@forthrloveofbags]

Hi ;) I did go back to LV store, I could tell she didn't want to exchange it she said its normal because of the way they store the bags and it will soften up, but she got a second opinion and she allowed me to exchange it. The bag I exchanged it for is much better cant feel the rough overlap now, but now noticed this bag has fine scratches on inside of strap, I guess maybe from showing it at store not sure, I need to quit lol think I'm just being too picky. ;)

[@captmara]

I remember once you questioning that point. I'm glad you see it otherwise now. I hope you are doing well. I think of you often.

[@captmara]

Sorry it took so long. Thank you for your patience.

[@aml716]

have you done a comparison between the delightful and the totally or the palermo (or all three?) would love to hear your thoughts of the three.

[@Bobster992]

Understandable! The Artsy is a beautiful bag, especially in the empreinte!

[@captmara]

Aaaahh, that's cool to hear. Thank you!!!!

[@bloggersandvloggers2229]

wonderful video once again! Loved your ending and yes we deserve it :)

[@Farrahmazhar]

Love ur videos ! Great reviews

[@FaithOB]

Thanks- I'm so looking forward to it! :)

[@NYCBrat]

Great video and the MM suits you perfectly. I could watch you all day... you make me want to buy yet another delightful, lol, even though I already have and LUV my GM. Any thoughts on the new model DE's? 👛 xx

[@captmara]

NYCBrat Thank you for being so encouraging. I love how the Delightful holds a ton, looks great, and is light weight. That being said, I have not had experience with the new model. I have realized that I am mostly a tote kind of gal and that a slouchy hobo is not my kind bag. I love the look of it be require the structure of a tote.

[@captmara]

Life is so much more enjoyable when we do realize that a splurge we can afford is worth it. Thank you for watching and for the support.

[@captmara]

I wasn't familiar with the isadora and now I'm in love:). I have a video uploading now that shows more of my collection. My daughter will love it, too:).

[@pereisy]

Thank you for this and all of your handbag reviews! I have a question for you. Since you have both Delightful MM and the Totally MM would you please tell me which one of these bags you prefer and why? A review and your thoughts on each would be great too if you have the time ;0). Thank you so much for all of your videos, I love them all!

[@captmara]

Somewhere out there I have a video on both of those bags. You ask a great question and they both are great and recommended. The Totally offers more pockets and is more structured. The Delightful is slouchier and more light weight. When I carry the Delightful, it's my favorite. When I carry the Totally, it becomes my favorite.

[@captmara]

You are correct but the handle was just long enough to keep tempting me:). It's a beautiful bag but the Delightful is better for me:).

[@captmara]

That's a tough one. I like the delightful but I have a friend who is sold on the Galleria:). Good luck to you on the decision. They can get tough some times:).

[@captmara]

Wasn't that crazy how many scarves kept coming out? I'm surprised a bunny didn't come out of it, too:). Thank you!!

[@deviantreads]

Really enjoyed your video now I know for sure which two to look for and try it out before purchasing this week. Which speedy is that one again 30 or 35.

[@captmara]

I believe it's the 35. It's weird I didn't write that in. Between the 30 and the 35, I now prefer the 30. I am in a position to sell my Speedy 35 B monogram, FYI.

[@deviantreads]

Sorry just saw that you had replied back I'm so new to this that I'm still trying to figure it all out. I just figured out how to see my messages I'm using the desk top version threw my phone so I guess this means I should use my lap top as well. Thanks again for the information. I ended up buying the speedy 35 the news one in with the strap and the Eva . I picked the 35 for the reason I thought the 30 was just to small for me and that's cause I'm 5 ft 2 in lol. Oh this reply has become so long but thanks again I text the way I talk by the way.

[@captmara]

Michelle Low Congratulations on your 35 as well as your Eva!! I'm so excited for you!!!!

[@sittiraehanahmuhamadshaleh3339]

Hi Mary...i like your video. I purchased both Delightful MM and Speedy 35 last week in Paris...one thing I got distracted was the leather lining on Delightful looks not neat enough...

[@captmara]

Yes, I know what your mean. If it bothers you too much, you may want to take it back. I love the Damier Azur. However, I worry too much about the leather darkening and for the potential color transfer. Therefore, I just stay away from the DA.

[@sittiraehanahmuhamadshaleh3339]

Mary Hanson thanks Mary

[@sittiraehanahmuhamadshaleh3339]

Actually I am referring the leather piping that wrinkle. But I am not sure if it is a defect or not...

[@captmara]

Sitti Raehanah Muhamad Shaleh Yes, I realize. I was just saying that if that wrinkling bothers you too much, it's not worth keeping it. I know what you mean. Mine has the wrinkling too but it doesn't bother me. Good luck on your decision.

[@sittiraehanahmuhamadshaleh3339]

Hi Mary, thanks for the advice. Last week I went to LV Starhill, Kuala Lumpur for my initial. I ask about the wrinkle things and the staff said that it is normal. So, now I am trying to accept it as a normal not a defect. cheers

[@aml716]

looking forward to that vid, i've bottled down my choices to the delightful and the totally =)

[@aml716]

how do files or paperwork fit in the bag? i have a similiar shaped bag and my files end up rolling down to the bottom as if it were the base of the bag. (hope that made sense)

[@captmara]

Thank you so very much!

[@bagsmylove2334]

I love your reviews! I'm really considering the delightful mm:)

[@captmara]

Do let me know how well you like it if you do get one.

[@FaithOB]

Oh.... and I agree... we all deserve this!! :)

[@captmara]

Wouldn't that be wonderful! Thank you, Sweetie.

[@A.M_A.M]

Nice VDO especially what you are! Thanks a lot for the comparation since I'm taking a decision to choose between Speedy and Delightful. Now I've got an answer already to choose delightful coz you help me. (I choose PM size coz i am 5x tall, i'm afrad MM is too big for me) Anyway Thanks again on your sharing.

[@captmara]

Thank you. The Delightful is a wonderful bag. I hope someday soon you'll be able to add a Speedy and a Neverfull as those are functional bags as well.

[@A.M_A.M]

Mary Hanson Now I had NF (PM) already. I fall in love and use it everyday. But finally I'm seeking for another one since winter has comed then I think of a bag which I can carry on a shoulder or on a wrist coz of the thick jacket I wor. That's why I'm considering SP or DLF then your VDO helped me definitely! So I would take DLF and mini pochette in monogram print soon. Thank you again for your nice talking and useful VDO. Kiss kiss!

[@taajrabi]

Omg, I totally feel your joy!

[@captmara]

Thank you:).

[@captmara]

The files by themselves may do the same in the Delightful. However, placing the files in a sturdy plastic envelope should keep it in place.

[@Bobster992]

The artsy isn't intended to be carried as a shoulder bag if you carried it that way.

[@captmara]

I have no issues with the Delightful. If you are concerned, I'd take it to a LV store and have them check it out. I wish you the best. Let me know...

[@captmara]

Thank you so much!!

[@captmara]

Yay, I'm so glad!

[@captmara]

Quit it, you'll make me want it, too:). Thank you for watching!

[@KristinHartleyy]

Anytime! ;) I agree, it's almost Heavenly... Ha!
