i happen to think that the papillon is one of the few bags of LV that are more young than oldish looking
plus i think 21 is not being a teen anymore so carrying one wouldnt look bad IMO

I can see Orochian's point, because I have seen older people carrying it. But I've also seen some young people looking good with it I guess it could work for both!

But Leyla I'm glad you think that it wouldn't look bad, because I personally love it (and thats why I want to get it!)

DAMIER B)

I think the Papillon is very youthful! I voted for the monogram because I think the Damier is masculine looking.

I think the papillion is one of the only LV styles I like. I think the other ones are WAY more old ladyish. Even though I think the bedford is cuter, the damier is the only one that doesn't scream: HEY, LOOK AT MY LV BAG.

I say Damier B)

 

[Plumour]

I think Papillon is youthful.

If they still did them, i would be getting a papillon myself lol

Monogram is much nicer than Damier (Damier looks old)

I wear alot of browns/creams/beige...so the Damier pattern is one of my faves. BUT, I don't like the way it looks as the Papillon...it looks hot as the manosque.

Oooh that's nice But I think the Papillon looks younger and flirtier

I too think that the Papillon is one of LV's more youthful looking bags.. i'm thinking of getting the smaller one myself.. (it's cheaper... ). I'd say go with the monogram.

 

[chocsta]

The smaller one is much cheaper, but I like the bigger one so much better

I got the Papillon 30 today... in Damier! I still hadn't really decided yet when I went there with my mom, but then I tried out both in front of the huge mirror and both my mom and the sales thought I looked better with the Damier, and so I decided to go for it Thank you so much for everyone who gave me suggestions/comments/advice/feedback, I do take it to heart

Now I'm wondering... does anyone know if there is a serial number inside the detachable pouch that comes with the Papillon? If there is, where is it located? Cause I can find it in the Papillon, but I can't see it in the pouch

The SA was probably on commisson just kidding Im happy for you, i so want a papillon now but im only after the Cherry Blossom ones.

I say, Monogram. It's so classic. Even though they are soooooo rediculously popular now, the monogram has been for 150 years, it's timeless. Plus, for some reason I always think of mens accessories when I see the Damier, I don't know why, mabye cause they use that a lot for the men's line.

If you want to buy LV, go to europe! They are WAY cheaper here then in the states, hehe...

 

[Street_a_Licious]

well... maybe not WAY cheaper... but you save at least several hundreds!

I'd love to go to Europe... (I've never been!!! ), but the plane ticket + accomodation would probably cost more than the extra $$ that I pay for the bag elsewhere... I will definitely go someday though!! It's one of the things that I won't feel complete without doing, and it's not just for the purses either

I like both styles, but lately I've been into the Suhali collection...I love the hardware on the bags...

I own this bag, only it's in white...I would love to see them create luggage in this line
