LOUIS VUITTON Graceful MM Review 🙅🏻‍♀️ why I'm SELLING IT

[@monikajones9663]

People travel with the Neverfull all of the time and it’s wide open-even wider. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I don’t see a problem with this magnetic closure.

[@simply_her_perspective]

It’s a security thing for me. I do see A LOT of people traveling with their Neverfulls and they’re wide open, so this magnetic closure is better; however, it’s not a very strong magnet/it doesn’t take much for it to open. Just something to consider 🧐

[@avalee_]

I agree, but to each its own… I guess. Ordering mine today!

[@MelvaGrannum]

The best video, reminds me of my LYXBAG

[@colleenmonreal9751]

Good points! You actually convinced me to purchase 😊. Lots of Chanel knockoffs too, unfortunately. It’s unavoidable that popular bags are copied.

[@simply_her_perspective]

Glad I could help with your purchase decision 🙃❤️

[@jamaiglooable]

Thank you for your perspective on this. I was eyeing on this purse for a while now (for about a week) and with the cost, usage of the bag (without being too bling-y), functionality with basically top wide open, I decided not to purchase this and I'm glad that you had a video to confirm that. Thank you! Great content.

[@lynnettezhang]

When you carry it over your shoulder, or wear it cross body using a longer strap, this bag literally mold to your body. So comfy, no hands can easily get in the bag without disturbing you. I carry it to crowded areas with no issue. Mine is a Monogram one, I don't know if Ebene is much stiffer and not as Pliable when you wear it. Just my two cents. My favorite bag so far, it is light weight and it carries a ton.

[@simply_her_perspective]

Agreed - very light weight and carries a lot!

[@terrybr]

Did you get the PM or MM size?

[@Nicolina99]

I own this bag and love it. I exchanged the Neverfull for this one because it looks more elevated. Never thought about putting a longer strap. Which strap do you recommend? So excited about this. Thank you 🌸💕🌸

[@jhoarmado]

I like LV coz of the quality not because it's luxury ❤ I have a couple and it's been with me for almost 10yrs ❤

[@simply_her_perspective]

10 years…that’s amazing ❤️✨

[@macannaud]

Great honest video!!! I need to save it and watch whenever I get the urge to splurge on another lv bag. I rarely use the 3 I have and yet am drawn to getting another.

[@simply_her_perspective]

Thank you 😊 (and stay strong…unless you’re absolutely head over heels for it, run the other way!)

[@dflowers1477]

You’ve convinced me about the graceful. I disagree about the brand and canvas though. Boring and irrelevant are some of the Classic Flap and Lady Dior, Kelly type bags. IMHO

[@simply_her_perspective]

Fair point…glad I could help on the topic of the Graceful 👍🏼

[@sunayb2525]

Girl you need to work on yourself. It doesn’t matter what other people will think. Forget that pls. Especially when you are saying thus screams luxury and its inappropriate for work. Its just a bag. Don’t think to much. There are bigger thingshappening

[@simply_her_perspective]

Agree 💯 (and thank you for the reminder 👏🏼); however, it’s still a consideration based on different workplace dynamics (whether that’s right or wrong is up for debate). For me personally, I just prefer quiet luxury in the workplace, but to each their own 😎

[@michellewang3115]

I was about to purchase this and i saw your video. Thank you for your informative video.

[@simply_her_perspective]

Absolutely - glad it was helpful 👍🏼✨

[@stacylloyd8302]

You didn’t know all this before buying the bag??

[@simply_her_perspective]

Unfortunately, no. Researching the bag online and purchasing off the website, certain things aren’t obvious until you own it/experience using it yourself…which is why I created the video 😜

[@latoyam.8944]

I am still considering to buy this bag. A good toiletry or organizer with catchall should do fine. I wont never wear any of my luxury bags to work, so many reasons. I was more interested to see the reason as to wear or tear . This bag is more casual and your back shelf of bags shows you not really casual . Lol. So I get why you sold.

[@simply_her_perspective]

Lol, touché (but despite some of those bags, I do lean more casual, just sayin 😜). If you’re looking for a larger casual bag, it’s a good option (in hindsight, I probably should have gone with the PM vs the MM…it was too big for me to wear casually). The wear and tear during the short time I had it was pretty good (but those corners…they’re pointy, so they’ll definitely show wear overtime). I’d HIGHLY recommend an organizer or catch all bc it’s a giant pit otherwise; however, you will lose some of the slouchy-ness with an organizer (when I used one, it bulked it out and gave it more structure than I would have liked) - something to consider. Good luck 🍀

[@latoyam.8944]

@@simply_her_perspective thank you.

[@mashailalanezy]

Great review. I agree with you that this bag is not a good choice for traveling. I don't like no zipper bags, especially in the airports. In contrast, I would like to wearing it to the work.

[@simply_her_perspective]

It’s definitely big enough to be used as a work bag.

[@Candy2Bossy]

Thank You For Your Honest Opinion About The Bag. I Honestly Don't Have Any Expensive Bags In My Collection. Other Than Dooney & Burke And Coach Which Normally Are Affordable Bags! They're Some That Can Get Pricey But Overall They're Afforable, Durable, & High-End! Some Women May Disagree With That But From Personal Experience That's My Take. I've Always Had A Eye For The Graceful MM Damier Ebene To Add To My Purse Collection!! So Even Tho' I'm Against Spending An Arm And A Leg On Bags The Graceful Was An Exception! Yet Since Stumbling Upon Your Video I'm Kinda At An Indecision. Is This Bag Worth The Amount With Particular Specs That The Bag Lacks On?? I'm At A Halt Now So To Speak!

[@simply_her_perspective]

Have you looked at this bag in person or tried it on? I know there are plenty of people out there that adore this bag, so even though it didn’t work for me, it may work for you. I’d definitely recommend you see it for yourself in person before making a decision.

[@erica.m]

I'm buying one next month and I am so undecided I'm in between speedy 30, Alma MM or this one 😩 so many choices, also neverfull has been in my mind as well

[@simply_her_perspective]

I’d think about your lifestyle and how you’d primarily use it/what you’d prefer. Structured vs non-structured…top handle vs tote bag…carrying it as a hand-held only vs on the shoulder/crook of the arm/as hand-held… Good luck 🍀

[@jasminesherri32121]

Owning the Speedy B 30, Neverfull and Graceful it’s a difficult decision because they differ in functionality. The Graceful in my opinion is the most unique and it’s classy and can also be causal. Not tacky in the least!

[@simply_her_perspective]

Agreed - the Graceful is definitely unique, especially compared to the Neverfull and Speedy.

[@koriw]

I do own Graceful MM and had some quality issues, it was quickly replaced for a new one and for a moment I was thinking about selling it.. However I was discouraged to do so by many people telling me just to enjoy and use the bag. I did not sell it and am happy with my decision 🥰

[@erica.m]

I forgot to update, I ended up purchasing Damier speedy Bandouliere 30 💕💕

[@xinyuke2494]

Thank u for your review! I am thinking about buying this bag as a work bag as someoene who just graduated. Your vidoe are really really helpful for me since you pointed two things that i didnt consider about. Now i realized it might be kinda inappropriate for someone who just strart work and travel a lot.

[@simply_her_perspective]

You’re welcome - yes, definitely some things to think about 🤔

[@drniokasmith]

Your review has helped a ton! I honestly am a lover of Coach and Chanel. I love Gucci as well. I recently walked into LV debating an LV but it just didn’t give me that smile; that happiness I get with my bags. When you said it feels dated, I totally agree. I was going to get it only because I do love to wear value. However, it didn’t give me happy and I just couldn’t do it. So I went back to Coach. It’s about what makes me happy and glow inside.

[@simply_her_perspective]

YES 💯Whatever makes you happy and gives you the warm and fuzzies is what’s best for you. Best of luck in finding the next bag that gives you that smile 😁✨

[@annettewhite9297]

Well any handbag that don't make you feel good then don't buy the brand stop worrying about what people say!!!

[@simply_her_perspective]

💯

[@AP-ef6ee]

Brilliant well spoken, informative review! Your reasons are what I suspected with this bag hence why I haven’t purchased it.

[@simply_her_perspective]

Very wise decision 👍🏼

[@laurencaccamo5448]

I truly appreciate the review and definitely gives me a bit to think about so thank you for that but I think it’s interesting that she’s criticizing this luxury brand lifestyle and goes to the extent of going on this mini rant about what’s “in” on social media and such but she has multiple luxury bags behind her. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you, girl. If Louie is no longer for you that’s fine but calm down with the tacky stuff. It’s iconic and well known for a reason and just because it doesn’t make you feel like an individual/special enough/ unique enough doesn’t necessarily mean it’s tacky.

[@simply_her_perspective]

Thank you for your comment but I'll kindly point out the name of my channel is "Simply Her Perspective". I'm sharing my perspective, or in this case my opinion (which doesn't make it a fact). If you like LV and/or this bag, then that's all that matters ♥️

[@simply_her_perspective]

It’s a cool style, just wasn’t as practical as I wanted/needed it to be…at least for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ebeauty6101]

Louis Vuitton kinda doesn’t scream luxury as much anymore … and even so it’s a reward to myself bag…

[@simply_her_perspective]

Agreed!

[@earthcitizen4266]

thanks for sharing. I havea couple of louis vuitton and was thinking of buying graceful mm. I feel that it is pretty flimsy and soft and doesn't make the bag 'stand' properly. It look far too casual for me. After watching your videos, I decide to buy another design.

[@simply_her_perspective]

💯 support you - good luck in choosing your next purchase!

[@talbalbbb126]

Omg best review 👏 you successfully talked me out of buying this bag because it's been on my wish list for a while now.

[@simply_her_perspective]

Glad I could help save you some money (or at least, help you redirect it to something else on your wishlist 😜)

[@gailward3308]

I have three and I love them. I also have four Neverfulls and I hate them. Bought them because of hype. However, afraid to sell because I cannot afford the price now.

[@simply_her_perspective]

The prices are INSANE now 🫣

[@gailward3308]

@@simply_her_perspective well LV stated they didn’t want the average Joe to have them, so they really pumped up the preloved market. A neverfull bag is now pushing $2000!

[@simply_her_perspective]

I get it from LV’s POV, but that stinks for those turning to the pre-loved market…unless you’re looking to sell 🤑

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

I'm not a huge LV lover either. I have a couple of bags that I really love from them but I don't like many more styles that they carry. Bottega Veneta is definitely my favorite fashion house.

[@simply_her_perspective]

I have to get through my Celine wishlist first and then I’ve got eyes set on a couple pieces at Bottega Veneta - what’s your favorite piece?

[@dominiquet8659]

This was such a well versed review! I have that same bag and I rarely wear it as well. I also hate how my fabric is so crinkled so fast as long with scratches on my bag . I’ve found myself leaning on my Tory Burch and Prada bags much more.

[@simply_her_perspective]

Thank you 🙂 (Isn’t it a shame - that bag has so much potential but it just misses the mark)

[@user-ql9yd1wo4l]

This is on my wish list

[@simply_her_perspective]

I’d highly recommend checking it out in-person before purchasing to ensure you like it and it’ll work for you and your lifestyle ✨

[@breezybear1397]

i agree with the folds i returned this bag 2x the closure is the worst it closes crooked its like they should have made it longer.

[@simply_her_perspective]

YES - it’s so odd! 🤨

[@pri_deleon]

This was my first Louis Vuitton. I purchased it in 2018 and I remember using it so much. I haven’t used it since 2020 because hobo bags are not in style and I prefer my YSL bags because they do not scream luxury. You make a very good point. I have thought about selling it but looking at how much the price has increased compared to what I paid for, is what keeps me from selling it. Maybe one day I’ll use it again lol

[@simply_her_perspective]

Luckily, hobo bags are back in style…maybe you will end up grabbing for it here soon 😀🤞🏼

[@sherrifreelancer1208]

If you plan to sell, maybe it could be my first LV…just saying 🙂

@@simply_her_perspective you’re very welcome! I know how important it is to get them ❤️❤️

[@abbycatherine8135]

Such a great review - brilliantly communicated as well. On the brand, for me, being a 40-something... when I was becoming an adult in the early 2000s, LV was so the thing. It took me a long time to feel as if I was earning enough to start splurging more on designer bags, and I had the DE Neverfull as my first larger $$ purchase, which I used for a long time, then sold. No LV for another decade... then, when someone was offering to buy nice bags for me, I guess my 25-YO self kicked in, as I went straight to LV 🤣 Sadly, I hadn't done research, and in the last year, I've done a ton of it... now I'm kind of over it too. I much prefer Celine, or The Row (elegant/luxurious/clean lines). Of course, to each their own. I have a few bags that I'd like to sell now that are almost brand new, like the Neverfull MM in black epi leather, the Speedy B 30 in Damier Ebene, the Neo Alma PM in black empreinte. One thing you can say for LV - there is always a market to resell!

[@simply_her_perspective]

100% That’s where my mind was on this bag when I decided to purchase it (my younger self said “LV, LV”, but my older self just isn’t into it…for several reasons). And you’re correct, there is DEFINITELY a market for reselling LV 👍🏼 I wish I had waited just a tad longer on letting this go (they increased the price shortly after I sold it, so someone got a great deal 😂)…good luck in selling some of your pieces 🍀

[@robisiers4347]

[@Loljjkb]

Where do you work. Everyone wears LV for work in my office building

[@simply_her_perspective]

Precisely my point - if “everyone wears LV” are people buying it because they like the brand or to fit in/impress others? By the sounds of it, you genuinely love LV (which is great and I hope you wear and enjoy all of your bags ❤️); however, when I bought this bag it was because I felt as though I “had” to because it’s LV and that’s what you do if you’re into luxury, when in reality, I don’t like the brand and it took me owning a few LV pieces to come to that realization…and that’s ok. Again, to each their own 😎

All the “ nail technicians “ in my town have a LV , precisely why I sold my LV Artsy in damier Azur , too many people have LV .
