Louis Vuitton Iéna | Comparison and What Fits

[@chelsea1977a]

LOVE that bag! The Lumineuse bag is nice, too. That color is gorgeous. Thanks for showing this comparison. It's very helpful!

[@JustJennifer]

Glad I could help!! 😘

[@lindajohnson6539]

Thanks Jennifer for doing the comparison between the different bags.I know this will be helpful to lots of ladies.I love watching your videos.You are such a sweet person. l love your beautiful smile,and great personality.

[@JustJennifer]

That is so sweet of you to say, Linda! Thank you 😘

[@mrstlc68]

You have me so drooling over the Iena!!! I had my heart set on a Speedy B 30 but now, I've changed my mind. I have had a Totally PM and so "totally" regretted selling it because it was just so functional. I have to have the Iena now!!! Arrrghhh!!!! Husband is going to kill me.

[@JustJennifer]

Oh dear... tell your hubby I"m sorry... ! :) Let me know how you like it once you've used it a bit! 💖

[@StyleWithCathyOver50]

How did I miss this video! Did you exchange this Iena for the DE Jen? Great comparison video. You have a lovely collection of LV bags. 😊

[@dianesherman8076]

Glad to see another video about this bag! Thank you!

[@JustJennifer]

I'm glad you liked it, Diane!! :)

[@dat1girl4u]

i just bought my first LV which is the Iena and its awesome! i'm so glad i got this bag.

[@JustJennifer]

Congratulations!! It is truly a wonderful bag and I hope you have many happy years together! :)

[@eiccoaching8642]

Hi Jennifer, l bought the pm in DA. Thank you for your video.🥰

[@CapeCodBelle]

Thanks for the helpful video! This tote bag looks even better with items inside. I will have to take another look at this one. It seems be a very user-friendly design! I hope you enjoy your new bag!

[@JustJennifer]

Yes, it is a very "friendly" bag, indeed! Thank you!! :)

[@idajene]

Hi. Great comparison vid! Anyways I wanted to share how I stuff all my LV bags, used to stuff it with plastic bags, but I got tired of pulling them out and getting all over the place so now I use TRAVEL PILLOWS! Yes! The tiny little squared one that you get get at Walmart for less than $3!! So I bought for all my bags!! As for my keepalls I stuff with 2 regular pillows. Just the cheapest pillows works fine!! Just sharing ideas from one handbag lover to another!! 🤗

[@JustJennifer]

That's a fabulous idea!! Thank you!! :) 💖

[@KWSHOPS]

The comparisons were super helpful. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@JustJennifer]

I'm glad I could help! 😘

[@KWSHOPS]

Also, the interior is exactly the same as my Belmont except the Belmont is not as roomy as this one. This is such a great alternative to the neverfull

[@JustJennifer]

Yes, it's kind of like a Neverfull with a zip top and outside pocket! :)

[@EddaElid]

Jennifer how does that leather protector work??? It has never occurred to me to apply anything to the raw leather. I'm always so scared I will stain it. You should do a video demonstrating how you protect the leather. Enjoy your new purchase.

[@JustJennifer]

Great idea! I will do that! :)

[@KellieS29]

Hi Jennifer, thanks for the helpful video. I'm on vacation and was in the LV in Maui today and saw they had this bag in 2 sizes. I didn't talk to any of the SA's but thought it was interesting that they had 2 sizes 😊

[@JustJennifer]

Hi Kellie! Yes, that is interesting!! I only see the one size on the Louis Vuitton website. And it doesn't state online whether it is the PM, the MM or the GM. I'm guessing the one I have is the MM. Thanks for letting me know! Enjoy Maui !! (drive the road to Hana if you haven't already - it's glorious!!) 😘

[@LeslieIsLosing]

I haven't read all of your comments but I did see the PM of this bag in stores and it's adorable!

[@JustJennifer]

Hi Leslie! I just found out that there is another size. I see that there is still only one size on the Louis Vuitton website (and it doesn't say PM, MM, or GM) So, I don't even know which size I have. I'm curious as to why they would have different things in their stores than what they have online. SO confusing! Thank you for letting me know :)

[@LeslieIsLosing]

+Just Jennifer I thought it was strange too! Yours is def the larger of the two sizes I saw!

[@LeslieIsLosing]

+LeslieIsLosing sorry meaning MM lol

[@rosannebent]

Beautiful bag I've been looking at this one online. I like the look of it so much better than the totally. Thanks for the review and enjoy using it.

[@JustJennifer]

Thank you! It's an adorable and practical bag, for sure :)

[@CM-pb7yw]

Great comparison, Jennifer...very informative. Thanks for sharing. Love your videos! 🙂

[@JustJennifer]

Thank you so much Cheryl! :)

[@cmills53]

I can’t believe how many things you own in Louis Vuitton- my husband would divorce me!! That is a ton of money invested in bags and smaller pieces!! Your videos are informative- I need to rob a bank- ha!!! I love all your bags!!

[@gayzauler1383]

I actually was able to purchase the Iena PM at my local store in Orlando. It was the only one my store had. Inwas able to find the bag on the LV UK site though. I to love this bag as it is so functional.

[@JustJennifer]

It is an amazing bag!! I agree. Congratulations, and ENJOY! :)

[@bonniejordan3441]

I love your new bag, thank you for such an informative review.

[@JustJennifer]

Thanks Bonnie! :)

[@Amorefamiliare07]

Yay! Love it! I'm a mama and think this would be an awesome Mama bag!

[@JustJennifer]

This would be a fabulous Mama bag!! 😘

[@MSpanders10]

Thumbs up another wonderful and very helpful video. I really enjoy your video's Jennifer. :-)

[@JustJennifer]

Thank you so much! 😘

[@honeyb5632]

This was very helpful, great job! I have a delightful pm and two speedy 30's so now I know what to expect if I want this bag. Love that outside pocket and that both sunglasses and cellphone fit! I don't have a neverful so I'm wondering about the shoulder straps, having double straps do you find that one of them slips off your shoulder or no?

[@SherylynnBarker]

Thanks for sharing! The comparisons were super helpful.

[@JustJennifer]

I'm glad I could help! Thanks for watching 😘

[@mauriromero3452]

Thanks so much for the video. Very helpful!! Love the bag!!

[@JustJennifer]

Glad I could help! :)

[@LVCoffeeLVer]

I'm loving that bag. Amazing review

[@JustJennifer]

Thank you! :)

[@sharonsecker5369]

Brill video as always xx 💕

[@JustJennifer]

Thanks Sharon xoxo :)

[@annabel_cheung]

Hi Jennifer! Not sure if you still check comments on this video but i was just wondering how the Iena compares to a Saleya in your opinion if you’ve got any experience to share? I’ve found some great deals on a couple Saleyas on a local preloved luxury marketplace but I’m not sure if i should go for those or an Iena now that I’ve binge watched all your Iena review videos! Fingers crossed you’ll see this and i look forward to your reply! :)

[@JustJennifer]

Hello! Unfortunately, I don’t have any experience with the Salaya bag, so I really can’t give you a comparison. I do, however, still adore my Ienas (I have it in monogram and damier ebene)

[@annabel_cheung]

@@JustJenniferthanks so much for getting back to me! 🥹 I ended up going for a Saleya but BOY those handles are no joke! I’m considering an Iena now haha but I’ve heard horror stories about the wear and tear of the canvas on newer monogram models and was wondering how yours held up? :) thanks again and have a great weekend!

[@indiana-nan8649]

What a informative review although it swayed me away from getting it at this time. I love my Totally PM and I also have a Delightful PM I haven't carried yet. Both of those of mine are in the mono print so looking more for a Damier Ebene. I will wait to see if this one comes out in DE! Do you happen to know anything about the Caissa Hobo Bag? I have got my eye on that one right now.

[@JustJennifer]

Hi Nancy! I'm glad my video could sway you in whatever direction is right for you and your situation! It sounds like you have the monogram shoulder bag situation covered :) I haven't heard much about the Caissa hobo bag. If you end up getting one, please let me know how you like it!! 😘

[@ItsMarieD]

Hi Jennifer! You do fabulous videos!! I am wondering, for weeks now, searching, how this compares to the totally MM. I am really thinking I prefer the older model ! No videos on that yet but do you have any experience w/ the totally MM? I need more of a "tote" than a handbag so I'm so so torn!

[@JustJennifer]

I don't have any experience with the Totally MM...but from what I have seen and read, I think the size is very similar. I believe the Totally canvas may be a bit stiffer and the Iena canvas a bit smooshier. If you want it to stand up super straight and not "puddle" down a smidge, the Totally might be better for you. I love the smooshiness of the Iena, personally. I often wonder how easy it is to use the side pockets on the outside of the Totally. I'm guessing it's not a problem, or I would have heard something about it. If you have the opportunity to go to a store and see both in person side by side, I think that would help immensely! Good luck!

[@sierraelizabeth3817]

Such a helpful video! ❤️

[@JustJennifer]

Thanks Sierra! :)

[@leeannk338]

What was your experience on using the pre-leather products on this bag? Did you ended up using the loving my bag product?

[@Valentina-ut3dw]

Is this The Iena MM oder PM?

[@JustJennifer]

It is the MM. :)

[@jencelerycloset7242]

Very helpful comparison vid 👍👍thanks for sharing!

[@JustJennifer]

Thanks :)

[@NEAJSSIM]

THanks for this video Jen! :)

[@NEAJSSIM]

I think it comes with a PM size too... monogram as well.

[@r3aj538]

Hi Jennifer love your review !! Are u still loving this bag? Im having trouble finding an everyday tote thats not enormous like the neverfull gm that i currently own. I just want a grab and go bag. im between this and a speedy 25 emperiente ...? Also my SA confirmed this will b coming out in an ebene print

[@JustJennifer]

Hi! I ended up returning this bag because of my excessive worry about the tabs curling. I am very interested in getting it when it comes out in damier ebene!! :)

[@emerbrennan2822]

Very informative video Jennifer thumbs up👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@JustJennifer]

Thank you Emer! 😘

[@brendasummers7510]

Thank you for a great video. Wondering how it hangs on the shoulder? Do the straps do much slipping? I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one who has that problem.

[@JustJennifer]

Hi Brenda. I will be sure to let you know if it slips down the shoulders. I will give it a good few weeks of use, and do a review video! So far, judging from other LV bags I've owned with these same type straps (Cabas and Bucket), I'll bet the straps are great!! :)

[@Happylifeme100]

Great review and big congrats! 👏👏👏👍

[@JustJennifer]

Thank you! :)

[@kitinathomas]

I got this one, love it!

[@JustJennifer]

Yay!! I'm so glad!! It is coming out in Damier Ebene soon, I believe! I will be getting that one, for sure. :)

[@susanevans9493]

What is the product you put on the handles?

[@rosariobono6643]

Just purchased the iena saturday, I am loving it. I would like to know about the "loving my bags protectant" and whether it changes the color at all... please advise.

[@JustJennifer]

Hi Rosario! Congratulations on an amazing bag! I didn't end up putting the Loving My Bags protectant on the Iéna after all, so I'm sorry I can't answer that question for you. I have only used the LMB cleaner so far, and that worked very well. Good luck with your lovely bag....it's a beauty!! :)

[@misselena6382]

Hi Jennifer! Great video! Do you know if the tan tote you have shown in video is still available? I really liked it but I do not see it on LV web site. Thanks! Elena

[@JustJennifer]

I believe you are referring to the Lumineuse PM in empriente leather(?) If so, it is no longer available on the website, but is available on the preloved market.

[@misselena6382]

Thank you for the response! Yes, this is the bag I was asking about just was not sure about the name! :)

[@kls907]

I'm on the fence between the iena vs the lumineuse. Have you had problems with the handles cracking on your lumineuse?

[@JustJennifer]

I have had cracking of my handles on my Lumi, yes. I found out that I can have the handles reglazed, but it will cost quite a bit. So far the cracking has not been bad enough to make me feel like it effects the looks (you have to examine it very closely to see it) or the usage. Not thrilled that it did this, but I still adore that bag!! Good luck with your decision :)

[@vonmarie5022]

Great video! Do you have a link for the protector you mention?

[@JustJennifer]

Thank you! I got the protector from here: www.lovinmybags.com/

[@ingridkay]

Does it fit a 13inch computer?

[@teresacone1347]

Is the LV Iena in this you tube video the Iena MM or Iena PM? What are the dimensions of your LV Iena bag?

[@JustJennifer]

It is the MM. At the time I made the video, it was so new they only had the one size and only called it the Iena. Later they came out with the PM, and this one became the MM. I don't have it with me currently, so I can't measure it for you, but I believe the dimensions are online.

[@ellykarmawan4794]

hi Jennifer, just wondering if your bag come with the lock. I just bought mine and didn't have the lock

[@JustJennifer]

Hi Elly! YES, mine came with the lock. Another viewer said the same thing, that her's came without the lock. It took three calls to LV before she found someone to verify that she was supposed to get the lock with the purchase. I'm so sorry you have to go through all that. So frustrating. Hopefully they will just send you a lock right away.

[@debnew6195]

Just wondering if you can show or tell me the difference between the neverfull handle drop & the Iran handle drop?

[@debnew6195]

The handle drop on most of them if possible?

[@louisvuittonrosexie2097]

I want to buy from you : is it pm size

[@meriemaudran734]

Hello ! Did you notice any holes in the buttom of the bag in the longchamp tote kinda way? Thanks

[@JustJennifer]

Hi! No holes anywhere. Just posted a video about the wear and tear of the Iena. :)

[@Quevinedoua]

What’s your favour bag or bags? Thank you for sharing Sis.😘

[@JustJennifer]

Oh, that is a tough question! I pretty much sell anything that is just not working for me, or it has "run it's course" , so to speak. But I will say that the ones I reach for the most are: Iena, Speedy 30 DE, Neverfull, Pochette Metis, and my Hermes Evelynne and Birkin. xo

[@annekelly717]

Great video - thank you! Would it be possible to use this as a crossbody using the badouliere strap?

[@JustJennifer]

Thank you! I suppose you could use the bandoliere strap (connected to the should strap rings on the Iena) to make this bag a cross body. It would be a bit bulky, but would work for long commutes or whatever, for sure!

[@gia9811]

I am more confused than ever! I went to look at it today then starting comparing it to Neverfull mm and a couple of others. I left the store without making a decision. 😕

[@JustJennifer]

Oh dear.... It's best not to do anything until you are sure of your decision! The right answer will present itself! :)

[@gia9811]

+Just Jennifer well the answer was very clear when I went back to the store. The Ie'na was sold out, got the Neverfull MM since my daughter has taken over my Neverfull GM 😊

[@tracymoniqueah94]

Thank you for this video!!! Can you compare the strap drop of the Iena and Neverfull MM? Thanks!! Inserting a pic in the comments would be just fine! 😄

[@JustJennifer]

Hi! From what I measure on my own bags, the strap drop on the Iéna seems to be about 1/2 inch longer than the Neverfull MM. :)

[@DesertGal]

Hi I realize the measurements are online, but LV.com doesn't always get them right. Would you mind letting me know what the measurements are of this bag, both across the top & bottom, the height and the width across the bottom please? Also have you had the Totally? If so is this Iena MM larger or smaller than the Totally pm or mm? Thank you for the video, looking into getting the DE one. :) Melissa

[@JustJennifer]

I do not have a Totally to compare it to, but I showed all measurements and "what fit's" in my recent Iena MM in Damier Ebene video.

[@DesertGal]

Hi, thank you yes I saw that. Was wondering though the measurements across the bottom of the bag, only if you have time though? My state doesn't have an LV. Thank you. :)

[@JustJennifer]

Oh, ok! The bottom/base measures 12 inches across (the longest part) by 6 1/2 inches (the shorter part). Imagine the bottom as a rectangle....the long side is 12 inches and the short side is 6 1/2. But the sides start widening out immediately as you go up the bag to the top. Does this make any sense?? Ha. I'm trying!! :)

[@DesertGal]

Thank you! Sounds like this bag is the perfect size. And yes you've been awesomely helpful.

[@lenakamal7077]

Thanks for the review and great video. I want to get my first lv and debating between neverfull mm and iena! Any advice? Which one would you get if you only had one option :)

[@JustJennifer]

That is certainly a tough decision! I love them both, but for different reasons. The Neverfull is basically a classic now and has stood the test of time. It is more of a tote and can be packed to overflowing with no problems! The Iena is newer and more of a shoulder bag type "tote". It seems to be more of a daily purse type bag in many ways, and offers the security and convenience of of the top and front zip (plus interior pockets). I think it all depends on what you will use it for most, and whether you want a classic bag or something a bit different than what you see a lot. Good luck....!!

[@adrianag.2591]

Tough, tough, tough! Decided by which print you want and what are you going to use it for? which season maybe? I use my LV NF MM in Azur during spring and summer...but I am planning on getting a IENA MM in Ebene for Winter...because of the snow and extra stuff I will carry (gloves, scarfs, hat). This video was a great help!

[@WendiMontano1986]

similar to the strella bag 🤗

[@JustJennifer]

Hi Wendy! Yes, very similar to the estrella!!

[@Jkay]

I luv it. I just wish it's a little bit bigger

[@JustJennifer]

I am wondering if it will be available in other sizes in the future...? This would be fabulous in a GM size!!!

[@ericaroyael3972]

Can I ask a question, I just called LV and asked if this bag had the padlock and key and they said it didn't. Did yours automatically come with it?

[@JustJennifer]

Hi Erica. YES, my bag automatically came with it! I ordered it from vuitton.com..... So strange that they said no.

[@ericaroyael3972]

That's what I can't figure out, it clearly has the holes for the padlock however, on their website (us.louisvuitton.com), it doesn't say it comes with it and I called twice to see if the first woman was wrong... So weird.

[@JustJennifer]

I got mine when it was so new that it wasn't even listed as an MM on the website. (apparently there is a PM size found only in stores at this time- not yet online...) so maybe it was so new that someone was confused? I really don't know. That's so strange.

[@ericaroyael3972]

Ok, scratch that, the 3rd woman, she confirmed it so I believe with your video, and the 3rd rep, it comes with it. Thanks!!

[@JustJennifer]

Oh good!!! :)

[@elleluella4565]

what protectant were you referring to?

[@JustJennifer]

Loving My Bags protectant. I have used their cleanser before, but have never tried the protectant. I ended up returning the Iéna, so didn't end up protecting it, after all. :)

[@AMYILOVEMYhorse]

Would this bag be able to fit a MacBook Pro 13’?

[@JustJennifer]

It fits my MacBook Pro 15", but kind of sideways.... I think the 13" would work very well. :)

[@maryb1206]

Do the shoulder straps slide off easily ?

[@JustJennifer]

I ended up returning the Iena because of my crazy worry about the tabs curling up in the future. But I have had several bags with similar double vachetta handles like the Iena, and I found them to be very comfortable and did not slide down my shoulder at all! :)

[@maryb1206]

Does the iena have a longer strap drop than the Neverful ? Thanks

[@jacki1982]

What is the measurement for the handle strap?

[@JustJennifer]

Hi Riley, the handle drop is about 9.5-10 inches (depending on whether or not the bag is slouching down a bit) :)

[@jacki1982]

It's so beautiful! I just wish the drop was a few inches longer.

[@DallasDesignerHandbags]

What size it is? PM or MM

[@JustJennifer]

MM

[@DallasDesignerHandbags]

Thank you so much for your quick reply But if you see the Louis Vuitton official site the MM have only 1 leather zipper pull on front but PM have 2 My customer is asking same from me and I am confused Can you please help

[@JustJennifer]

The leather front zipper pull on the MM is two hanging pieces (one long piece of leather that is looped through the zipper hole, but two ends of the leather just like the PM) but they are right against each other, stacked, sort of, so it looks like one piece in the pic on the vuitton site. Does that make sense?

[@JustJennifer]

If you look closely at the zipper pull on the Damier Azur Iena MM on the LV website, you can see that the leather is just hanging straight (whereas, on the PM pic, the leather pull is splayed out in a "v"), but it is still only the one leather pull. The difference is how the ends of it hang. :)

[@DallasDesignerHandbags]

Thank you so very much for the help :)

[@jadejimenez3439]

price?

[@JustJennifer]

$1430.00 US

[@swisswings78]

The bag is a big deal, great for traveling as well.

[@JustJennifer]

Yes, I think it would be a perfect travel bag since it has the zipper closure on top! :)

[@Coquitomanda]

IÉna, sweetie, you must pronounce the “e”, that’s what the accent is for 🙄
