The Louis Vuitton SC Bag comes in Monogram Canvas, Asphalt Suede, Cobalt and Jasper Leather only.
I love this in Cobalt. I would be as concerned about the colour of the lining as I am about T&D's GGH not being yellow enough. (which means, not really) I hope this doesn't stop anyone from getting this bag because it's truly stunning. I think the size (between a Speedy 35 & 40?) is just right for anyone of any stature. How many SC bags in Cobalt or Jasper have you seen in person on the street and what percentage of the time do you think you will be seated next to someone at a restaurant or wherever that has the exact same bag? *furthermore, what on earth would make you assume the bags you have seen were authentic. (I say this because there was some discussion a while back about this lining issue and I hope we don't have to go into it again)
Since I brought that up:
Those of you who have friends that "carry the real deal"..... Were you with your friend when he/she purchased their bags? Did they buy them from the actual boutique or department store? If they were an internet find, can anyone ever assume what they're buying is real? Secondly, If one of my friends is on this forum and I don't know about it, they are likely to say.. "my friend carries the real deal so she'll be able to tell if my bag is fake"..... Really? You sure about that pumpkin?
"Shelleybean, that's a beautiful scarf/bag/shawl, did you buy it in Las Vegas?" "Why yes, friend, I was fortunate to find this at Neiman Marcus/Hermes/that cute little boutique in The Wynn...." There is a reason we have screen names. I mean seriously, if I wanted people to know I carry fakes I would have put my real name, address & phone number above that picture of my idol, Patsy Stone.
I guess I'm just trying to say that one should always be cautious when assuming that those close to them are carrying authentic bags. (shouldn't that be in a fortune cookie, maybe?) It is an assumption that mine are real, so I always take that to go both ways.
I'm glad we had this little Hermes discussion a while back. I am still after a Lindy, Massai or large Picotin. Raisin Massai, Poussiere Lindy and a Blue Jean or Vert Anis Picotin - oh, and maybe something in Etoupe as well. Still trying to work on how I will pass off a $5000 Lindy as authentic. I "apparently" spend more on little authentic accessories like scarves, keychains, belts, shoes because I would rather appear that I spent $350 on a silk scarf and $650 on a pair of shoes than $2950 on a little tiny sack of leather. It just has a more realistic tone to it.
Wow, bit of a ramble..... sorry.
