The thing is, it’s not just *a* bag, right? It’s *the* bag. Or at least, it *was* for a long time. I mean, you see these descriptions – “timeless design,” “iconic Monogram,” “perfect companion for every day!” – and you gotta wonder if it’s all just hype. And honestly? Maybe a little. But the thing is, it *works*.
I personally think the Damier Ebene one is kinda chic, especially the GM. It’s just, you know, not everyone’s cup of tea. It just feels a little… *safe*, if you know what I mean? Like, you’re saying “I have good taste, but I don’t want to *offend* anyone with my good taste.” Which, fair. But maybe a little boring?
And the Monogram? Classic, obvs. But so, so, so many people have it. It’s like the official uniform of… well, I don’t even know what, but it’s everywhere. Maybe that’s part of the appeal? To be part of the “in” crowd? I dunno, I’m rambling now.
Then you have the “Inside Out” Neverfulls, which sound kinda cool, right? Reversible? Versatile? But honestly, I haven’t seen one in the wild yet. Maybe they’re more of a Johannesburg thing? (That random Louis Vuitton Johannesburg listing in the stuff we were given made me chuckle, honestly. Just, like, plopped in there.)
And the price point? Yeah, let’s not even get started on that. It’s… an investment. A *serious* investment. You could probably put a down payment on a small car for the price of a Neverfull, especially if you want one of the limited edition ones or something. But hey, if you’ve got the cash, and you *really* want a bag that can hold, like, your entire life, then go for it, I guess.
