Louis Vuitton - Turenne PM

Back in february, I got this handbag I've always wanted -  Louis Vuitton ~Turenne PM.. the newly released design in Louis Vuitton handbag family.

I've been fan of Louis Vuitton because of their iconic design that stay over the decade. If you buy it today.. chances are people will still looking forward to buy it years later.. years later you will carry it and still be as fashionable as now.. awesome isn't it! It comes with a huge price tag.. it is expensive.. But it's a great investment for handbag lover out there.

So I got Turenne in the smallest size - the PM size. Initially I wanted speedy B in Damier.. but then the sales person recommend me turenne as it is newly released design and very few people has got it. Price wise, it is slightly more expensive than speedy B.. Since it is a new design.. i thought it's worth the price gap.. so I chose it.

 I'm going to divide this review into 3 sections.

1. body of the bag
2. The handle & the strap 
3. Function/space of the bag 

1. Body of the bag

As you can see, the body is made of the legendary and iconic monogram canvas. There is no doubt it will stay through the decade as the canvas itself has made it's way till today. It is thick and feels so luxury. It has leather smell on it. The front and the bag of the bag has the pleats kinda design.. Overall it's not too sturdy, just enough to not to sag. Unlike speedy which tend to sag, i think Turenne will remain it's shape.

2. The handle & the strap

Like any handbag, Turenne has rounded handle. It's made of Vachetta leather which is really beautiful. Same goes to the shoulder strap. It feels very smooth and well-made. One touch to the handle and you'll know its a high quality leather. Vachetta leather will darken overtime and turn into gorgeous honey colour - they call it "patina". That's what made it special. The only thing is care for this expensive leather is such a trouble. It is easily stained and if you accidentally grab the handle when your hand is wet.. you'll cry.. The area which is touched by your wet hand will darken while the other area still white. So it will be patchy.

The strap.. the strap is adjustable but its too long for me.. even tough after the shortest setting. For your comparison, I am a petite girl.. I'm only 5ft tall.. 

It has 3 holes on it. When I asked the sales person if I can punch extra holes, she said they dont recommend it b'cos it will easily damage the strap over time of use. So I decided not to do it.

3. Function/space of the bag

To me, Turenne is a very functional handbag. It has a wide opening and spacious in the inside. It has two phone pockets and 1 bigger compartments. It also has like a round key loop to attach your keys to it. I personally don't use it at all. Because it has a wide opening, you can maximally utilize the space. The bag itself is quite sturdy (not too sturdy tough, just enough to hold the shape), so I think if you carry extra items it wont sag too much. 

Not only the space, fashion wise it is also very functional :D. You can use it as your everyday bag, office bag, or any special occasions and you will still look fashionable. It match any outfits anytime anywhere. One bag and you got all you need to pair with your dressing.

So.. Finally, is it worth it?

My answer is.. DEFINITELY.

I love Louis Vuitton, I love the iconic monogram canvas, I love Turenne. Price wise, I think it's super worth it.. As I mentioned it's a newly released design! If I'm not wrong its just released on Nov 2014.
It is one bag for any occasions. It fits to be carried anytime anywhere. Fits you wherever you go. One bag is all you need.. ;)
