First off, let’s be real – the Neverfull. It’s, like, *the* ultimate carry-all. Designed for, you know, “city life,” as the official blurb says, it’s supposed to hold all your essentials. And yeah, it kinda does. I mean, you can chuck EVERYTHING in there. Laptop? Check. Gym clothes (even if you’re lying about going to the gym)? Double-check. Emergency snacks? Absolutely. It’s basically a black hole, but in a chic, monogrammed way.
BUT, and this is a big but, it’s also kinda…basic, right? I mean, everyone has one! You walk down the street and BAM! Another Neverfull. Another one. It’s like, are we all just clones now? I get it, it’s a classic. It’s “iconic Monogram.” It’s “win, win” because you look stylish AND can carry your entire life in it. But at what cost? Individuality, maybe? (Okay, maybe I’m being dramatic. Maybe.)
And don’t even get me started on the *fake* Neverfulls. Ugh. The horror! My friend was SO excited to buy what she *thought* was a real one, and she was obsessssssed with the red lining. It HAD to have the red lining. Turns out, it was a dupe. A good one, allegedly, but still a dupe. Lesson learned: do your research! Look into those date codes! They’re supposed to tell you a story, or something. I’m not sure, I always get confused with the letters and numbers – is it factory code, date of manufacture, or just a random jumble? Who knows! Just Google it, honestly.
And speaking of research, have you looked at the price of these things lately? Yikes! That’s, like, a down payment on a small car! Which is why, I guess, the second-hand market is booming. You can snag a pre-loved Neverfull (hopefully authentic!) and save some serious cash. Just be careful out there, my friends.
Honestly, though, despite my slight cynicism, I kinda get the appeal. They’re practical, they’re relatively durable (for a designer bag, anyway), and they do look nice. Plus, they offer different colorways and materials – though let’s be honest, most people just go for the classic Monogram.
