I concurred with you. Actually, the bag she was comparing the Odeom with is called Louis Vuitton Thames and not Galliera. They are not the same and the design is totally different.
My Odeon PM just arrived in Black! It is classy, and perfect for my petite frame. The black is more subtle than the neutral, which I appreciate. Front pocket is ideal for easy access to my iPhone and sanitizer. Fits everything I need perfectly without being bulky.
I recently bought the recto verso in empreinte and I'm loving it. It can fit my cards, bills, coins and even the key inside. I love that it makes all my mini bags more spacious...
I bought the same one and I love it. I can carry everything I need. Great everyday bag. I was torn between the damier Ebene and the monogram/black, I chose the monogram but I feel a bit self conscious when I wear it to Walmart 😂
I love my double zip pochette. I’ve become a small bag carrier in the past few years. And even more during the pandemic. I prefer not to carry a bigger bag while I’m out and about anymore. However if your lifestyle doesn’t fit with a smaller bag, it’s totally understandable.
The Odeon PM is actually the perfect *crossbody* bag as opposed to being a hobo bag. It’s a new model of the previous Odeon. I’m petite and it sits very comfortably wearing it crossbody and I absolutely love the front magnetic pocket for easy access to my phone. I’ve been using it everyday since I got it and it has become one of my favorite crossbody bags.
Ali C. Same. I ended up loving this bag more than I thought I would. I got the one with the tanned leather and I think it looks like a classic. Love how comfortable it is.
I totally agree with your opinion on these new LV items except for the Odeon. I think it is more functional than the old LV bag because there is an external front pocket and the strap is detachable and very well made. One thing I love about the LV bags is that you can interchange the straps with your other LV bags, which makes it more fun and gives me more satisfaction in owning these bags 😊😍. I love your videos. You are one of the few youtubers that I watch til the end of the video 👍.
I agree on the functionality of the odeon for sure! Looks really convenient to use! Aw thanks so much for watching my videos till the end! Means so much to me😍 xx
I just got my Recto Verso card holder yesterday and I actually love it. It's great for a mini wallet and it does fit more then you think. It's a great item.
My Recto Verso arrived two days ago and I absolutely love it! I totally agree about the price, it was so expensive for a mostly canvas card holder. But I've been looking for a new wallet for years and the Recto Verso is exactly what I wanted so I decided it was worth it for me! I definitely think it's not worth it if you have an SLG collection or you swap out your wallets a lot. It's funny because I think the Recto Verso and Odeon are such practical designs for LV and then the Petit Sac Plat is so impractical. It's like they're trying to target both young instagram influencers and more sophisticated moms to remain widely relevant. Anyway, great video! I like it when people take a more critical eye to new releases and really consider whether something is a good purchase for them. xx Julia
When I make a purchase on designer handbags, I have to really want it for long time...and I think hard. I don’t jump into anything right away. I currently own nano speedy and mini pochette & I’m happy with the two. ❤️
I've been in the market for a wallet I just not a fan of the recto verso. I like the other wallet the Juliette but over $900 I rather add a few hundred more and buy a bag instead. But as far as lv nothing is sticking out for me.
@michelle tate get the Rosalie Coin Purse. It's so pretty and functional. I use it to put a few coins, it holds quite a few cards and cash. It fits nicely in any bag. Best thing ever. I don't care the recto or those small pouches. The Rosalie fits my needs so well. I don't like using large wallets and I don't carry around alot of cards. So it perfect.
michelle tate I really like the Juliette wallet too. I’d rather add money , and get a handbag. I had the insolite wallet, and for what I paid for it, I could’ve gotten a brand new bag!!
I just bought odeon pm and i love it becuz of the zip and adjustable strap.I normally use neo noe as a work bag so this odeon will be another everyday bag for me :)
I snapped up the reverse double pouchette... because at that point I did not have a reverse print and it has a leather strap. It’s flat so it bulges when I keep my hand sanitizer. But it’s useful as I use it as a wallet, with capacity for my house keys, car fob, tissues, hand sanitizer - and I bring along in my larger office bag, it works week as a lunch handbag. I prefer carrying a smaller handy align compliment a large backpack for my laptop or office bag.
I sold my monogram and Damien Beene I sold both my Monogram and Ebene cles to buy the Recto Verso. No regrets, it’s a fabulous piece and holds much more than the cles.
I do have a LV Galliera Monogram bag in my collection. I agree with you! It's an amazing bag! And I also got an Odeon PM. They are definitely not the same. The Odeon MM might be almost the same size with the Galliera , but Odeon PM ist a totally different bag. It's smaller and it's a great not too fancy cross-body bag. Its just what I needed when I want to carry with me only my wallet, keys and phone. I'm very happy with both of these bags!
The Pont 9 bag reminds me also to the Celine Triomphe bag and the Celine box bag. I don't like the Odeon style (of course just a personal preference) and finally can you guess what? I was in Venice last week for a couple of days and l fixed an appointment to see the recto verso cardholder. But the key pouch was luckily available too 😀 (which is quite hard to find in Italy too) and l ended buying the key pouch which l am so happy about ❤️ we thought the same thing 😘 ciao bella
Agreed! I also turned down the recto verso because my empriente key pouch holds so much more at a better price point. I talked myself out of the double zip because of capacity and also the Odeon because I have cross body bags that serve a similar function. I will admit, I also thought to myself that the price on this bag would likely go up quickly because of its current value vs. price and popularity, but that’s not a reason for me personally to buy it. Love this vid!
I am debating on purchasing the Odeon PM. I've never spend over $500 for a bag so this is huge for me. I love the mono/black detail. I don't love long strap but I plan on purchasing a smaller shoulder strap for some versatility. Here in the US it comes put to $2200 give or take. I can't believe I'm even considering this😂😂🤦🏾♀️
I actually went to Louis Vuitton this friday to buy the Odeon mm. But even before i got to the store I had some doubts. I also looked at the onthego mm while I was there. But somehow I went home with the Odeon mm. But the second I got in the car I got a bad feeling. I put all my stuff inside but the opening is to small and if I wanted the stuff in the bottom I had to take everything out. And I knew i couldn’t live with that. And I also could not get the onthego mm out of my mind. But yesterday I went back and I change the bag into the onthego mm. And I couldn’t be more happy! So glad I followed my heart on this one! I know I would have regretted it badly if I hade stayed with the Odeon mm. Lovely bag but to small an the opening would have made me crazy🤣 even in the mm size.
I don’t know what happend to LV, a few years ago I got a full wishlist full of lv bags.. now I don’t know anymore I am owning 6 bags mostly Lv, and I am pretty happy with it but my actual dream bag is a lady dior 😃 EDIT: the recto verso is soooo overpriced you can get a beautiful full wallet with that money! So true! I do love the double zip Pochette, it reminds me a lot of my LV twice but I sold it since I didn’t used it anymore. But I do unterstand the hype a lot! The Pont 9 alone the fact that they gave it for free to a lot people who HAVE the money bye Lv :)
I think as our collection grows, we become more picky on bags that we add to the collection since we already have bags that we love. I also have a much shorter bag wishlist now than fee yrs ago! Exactly, the recto verso is just way too pricey for a small slg🙅🏻♀️ thanks for watching hun xx
Recto verso is honestly the best. Wallet and key pouch in 1. Size is great too. I haven't meet a person who has it that doesn't like it. So that's surprising
Okay, so I jumped on the recto verso. It's fantastic! I have all my cards and cash in it, and my key fob hangs on the outside! Fits so much more than the cles and everything is more organized. Perfect grab and go item. You may reconsider! lol I also picked up the Soufflot BB in monogram/noir. It's gorgeous and so practical. Those were my first LV purchases in a long time. Now back to Hermes. lol. OR! Thinking about the Capucines BB in galet....
Haha you are right, I may reconsider for sure😂 I have changed my mind on a few things in the past! Also, definitely recommend the Capucines in the galet, it is such an elegant bag❤️ xx
Yes!! This is the review that I need! Ive been thinking of the recto verso & odeon but somehow keep on postponing the purchase. As for the rest, never really thought if purchasing them. You're totally right about all these items, TQ Isabelle, you really helped me to make my decision. Stay safe, take care & cheers! 🌟
Definitely good to take your time deciding and if you keep postponing the purchase, it is usually a good sign that you are not completely in love with them! Xx
eastlisa The canvas tote actually reminds me of the Hermes Garden Party too. Thanks for making this video to suggest more budget friendly alternatives. love it!
I agree with you. Wish they had not discontinued the Pallas clutch. Was much better than the double pochette. Thoughts on the new Gucci rerelease of the 1961 hobo? I think that would be a great summer bag.
Hey Isabelle the LV Odeon is actually a revamp of the LV Odeon bag I want it but I kind of like the old one better it just seems to have less going on.i actually bought my daughter the Hermès Evelyne Mini 17 I don’t know if you’ve actually tried it or not but she can only fit her phone and a card holder and that’s it so small.
Totally agree with your list. I also have a greater appreciation for you and your channel after hearing you talk about how you didn’t purchase the mini sac bag. It shows that you are authentic. I get really turned off by you tubers that just buy and unbox for the ratings.
I like the look of the Odeon PM. I just can't pull the trigger on the purchase. I have the South Bank and I love this handbag and the Odeon reminds me so much of the South Bank.
If anyone's considering the Recto Verso, I think the Coin Card Holder is a much better choice at almost half the price. As Isabelle said, the RV is so thin that putting your keys inside would make the wallet bulge and ruin the wallet and simply not look good. The CCH does not have the key chain but since there's enough give in the main compartment, keys can fit.
The Galliera and Odeon are nothing alike. The Galliera is a hobo shoulder bag, the Odeon is a cross body with adjustable shoulder strap and front pocket. I have both. Right now the Odeon pm is my everyday bag. You’re completely correct on the recto verso, the cles does same thing but I’m using both, the recto verso as a wallet w loyalty cards on chain it is able to be zipped in and I use key pouch for my keys.
Isabelle I been following you for a while now and always think omg she spends a lot of money on bags etc.... some of the people I follow is always talking about the impact and brands that will help the environment etc... I would like to congratulate you on the decision of not buying the unnecessary bag just to do another video. Now I see something interesting to follow.
Totally agree with you with all this LV item. I bought the petite Sac first day but returned it because the handle hardware was crooked and it’s too small and pricey$1800. I decided to get the Nano Speedy for $1590 and it fit more. The rest I was underwhelmed
Isabelle's Style Brisbane LV have always been very helpful. I was able to get all the hard to get bags there, Multi Pochette. Vanity PM and the Nano speedy. 👜😍🤗
I love the Pont 9 design, definitely something I could wear for years to come. I think generally luxury handbags are meant to look “boring” which translates to timeless and classic to me (Kelly, Birkin, Chanel flaps, Lady Dior etc. designs are all boring, if you don’t want boring go for fast fashion). Luxury bags are meant to be worn for a long time which is why they have that “boring” design. But I do agree on what you say about the price. If I add on just a bit I’d get a Chanel classics already and that has been proven to be great for investments. I’m definitely second guessing on that bag... I really need a shoulder bag similar to the Pont 9, if only the price were lower and the strap removable. WHY IS THE STRAP NOT REMOVABLEEEE
While I agree with you on the price point, I think the recto reverso is one of their best new pieces. It's an edgier fresher and more modernised version of the original cles. My sister has one and its absolutely gorgeous with the colour options and that pop of colour. I also love the easy access to the cards without having to unzip the main compartment! I get where you're coming from about most of the other pieces and also respect the practicality and simplicity of the original classic designs, sometimes it takes time for us to get on board with some of the new pieces as I honestly really hate most of them haha.
I've been eyeing the Odeon bag. It looks like a functional everyday bag and it'll be perfect for when I return back to work. Now the Recoto verso, I completely agree with you! Lol I can do without.
I got the double pochette in reverse mono. I don’t have anything in that print and I always wanted a piece. Double pochette seems practical and functional and it’s really cute. I switch out the strap for another LV one.
I absolutely love my recto verso. I got it in monogram. It was my first LV/designer purchase, and I love it because I don’t really carry a purse. I bought a black clutch strap on Amazon and put my 2 keys on the outside and OMG it’s so beautiful and casual! For my on the go style. I also don’t carry coins with my typically. It is a little flat but I don’t really mind. But yes I agree if I was getting this as an accessory I would choose something else, but since it’s more of a staple piece for me it’s perfect.
I actually splurged for the recto verso in noir empreinte! I was using a Kate Spade wallet that had a really similar layout and I loved it, so I thought this would be a nice upgrade for one of my staple items!
I love the Recto Verso wallet! It is one of the best and most versatile wallets LV has in their line. Obviously so because it is now made in all prints and in some leathers.
The Recto Verso is amazing! You should reconsider. The key pouch you compared it to doesn’t hold even close to the same amount. But I have it in the Empreinte and don’t like it in the canvas.
The Hermès Evelyn crossbody that has an perforated “H”. I am in question why people spend the money where Coach makes the crossbody that has the same functionality, although it’s a fraction of the price? The Odeon is a crossbody and looks beautiful. I would also pass on the cardholder and spend the money toward a bag.
Thank you for posting this!! I feel like so many influencers go crazy over these new releases but you wonder why they like the item apart from the fact that it’s LV. Also just a side note, cles means key in French, so when you say key cles, you’re saying key key.
Recto verso is one of my go to SLG, and the Odeon PM new model is one of the best crossbody I have ever tried, in natural. I like it better than the black as it looks more attractive.
I feel the same way you do about these. I have found that I haven’t seen a new bag this year from anyone that I have gotten excited about. I like the Pont 9 but not enough to even consider saving for one. I like the Dior Bobby better but even then I won’t be buying one as this style of bag is very similar to the leather Pochette Metis so I already have that type of bag in my collection. I don’t like the Reverso Recto. I feel it’s trying to be too many things all at once and looks a mess. I saw an unboxing of the Petit Sac Plat this week and it’s so tiny it looks ridiculous. And to pay $1800 for it? There is a sucker born every minute.
Great video! Interesting that you described the Odeon as a hobo bag. I never thought of it that way since it is a relaunch of their older Odeon bag, which is a crossbody. My personal hesitancy with the Odeon is that functionally, it is a duplicate of my Hermes Evelyne, which has been such a useful messenger style bag.
I guess it’s that rounded shape that makes me think of the odeon to have a hobo silhouette but it is definitely a crossbody bag technically! And I agree, the Evelyn is nicer hehe xx
You brought up some good points on the Recto verso. Aside from the cle pouch there are similar versions with the same layout such as YSL in leather, cheaper price minus the snap pouch in the front that the LV has. For the Odeon PM I love the look of it (monogram with black) especially since it has generous slip pocket on the front of the bag so you have easy access instead of unzipping and zipping the main compartment especially with the global pandemic. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!
Agree with all other than the odeon. Not at all comparable to the galleria in my opinion. I still wouldn’t be tempted though because I have too many other medium cross bodies in my collection. So glad you didn’t grab a bag for an unboxing and views. This is part of why I enjoy your channel. You are genuine and honest ❤️
Love your accent. Ordered the Double Pochette in giant reverse monogram from LV and returned it right away because it was just too small. It was absolutely gorgeous and I loved loved loved the print. If it were under $1,000 I might have kept it, but for me the cost/value didn't work out. So I bought a preloved empriente Twinset in black and I absolutely love it. Also acquired a preloved Trotteur for a super great price and I love that also. Will change strap on that to a monogram strap. And I'm now seriously looking at the Favorite. Could kick myself for not buying it years ago. Regarding the Galliera, I bought Damier Azur preloved in excellent condition and carried it for two summers. It worked out well for me but for some reason I began to feel it was outdated or not a modern look. And I moved into smaller slimmer bags that can be carried crossbody and a clutch, and be dropped into the large tote I carry to work every day.
You made some good points on the recto verso. I wish the envelope part was higher so you could not see the zip part in the back. Might be that way for functionality but it’s a visual flaw that bothers me even though I want it.
I don't agree with you regarding the Odeon PM. I love it in black, much more stylish than the one you mentioned. Worry free and more elegant with the black trim. I do find the Odeon MM a little clumsy looking.
I liked the look of the Recto Verso but purchased the Moreau Paris all-in-one wallet because it's made of leather and holds cash without having to fold the bills in half.
I totally agree with you on the recto verso and I like the way you put it about it not being $500 more impressive. I’m really torn on the petit sac plat... I just ordered it from the website but I know the capacity is poor. I’m going to try it on and see but for the price, it’s making me really think twice. The nano speedy would be a no brainer but it’s been almost impossible to track it down!
I have a SL small wallet like the Recto-Verso - and it was a lot less - could probably also get the cles and it would still be less. The Odeon is also a crossbody, which is different to the Galliera - I personally prefer the current Odeon bag, but wouldn't get it personally - I don't buy LV anymore. Totally agree on Sac Plat - love my Evelyne TPM, the leather is amazing, plus you can replace the crossbody strap with a chunky chain and go for this year's hardware style (without the major commitment). The pont neuf is so pushed and so boring.... Gucci, Celine, Hermes, Dior... all have done that already. Fun review!
A few mistakes; firstly, the new Odeon is not a remake of the Galleria. It is a newer model of the previous Odeon. Secondly, the picture you show at time frame 6.59 is of the LV Thames, not the Galleria that you are comparing this new Odeon to. The Galleria was a shoulder bag. The Thames was a shoulder bag. The new Odeon is a crossbody bag. What hobo bag are you referring to?
Hi Isabella great options to choose when buying a bag you really like to have I love the scarf you are wearing looks gorgeous with the top you wearing. Like your styles and thank you for your inspiration in fashion. Love XO 💖❤😊
Hi Isabelle, I 100% agree with everything you mentioned. I also absolutely love and prefer the LV key pouch - and crazy how much more affordable it is! Great video :) xx
I have the *double zip pochette* and I use it a ton 🤗. I was in 2 minds but I’ve used it more than any bag. I can fit all my essentials in it 👍🏽 Don’t use as a “bag”. It’s an *SLG* so I use it as a pouch when I have to go food shopping 🛒 or running around. And as a catch-all in larger bags. I’m purchasing the *Dauphine lanyard key holder* to clip on to the pouch to use as a wristlet ✨
I have been debating on getting the recto verso. I had just recently bought the coin card holder and I also have a limited edition key pouch. I almost fell into the online hype until I watched your video and you talked some sense into me. 😂Thank you! All your explanations make total sense. ❤️
Odeon is a messenger bag. Galliera was not a messenger. The bag you showed when referencing the Galleria is not the Galleria since that bag has a zip top and the Galleria is open top.
I feel the same for all the items you’ve mentionned. I feel like the Odeon is an old model... with the round ring to attach the strap, I feel like it’s an old from the 90´s bag. The sac plat, look like an overprice lunch bag... the pont 9 look cheap with the in your face logo. Anyway, I am lookikg forward to the deauville mini instead... thanks for honest review! I totally agree with all your point of view!
I recently went in store to purchase the Odeon PM. After speaking with my SA, I opted for the Odeon MM. The bag is not extremely bigger but the top opening is wider making it easier to get my hand in and to get items out! Haven't worn it yet, still sporting my Artsy
I agree with every single piece and bag you show here ! But girlll I cant believe I let the Recto Verso get the best of me and I bit the bullet and bought one ! I have the mono Cles also and for the moment I am really loving having both ! But not thrilled with the price point at all ! I for some reason thought I would love the Odeon but I didn’t ! And the double zip pouch I don’t really care for either ! Great video
I totally agree with you. I got the double zip pochette giant jungle last years collection my one and only it’s very cute to look at but I never use it because i can’t fit “my” necessities & that extra face mask & filled the zipper gets wonky but it’s perfect for date night. maybe.. I’ll use it this weekend.
I agree with you about the Recto! The price point totally turned me off. It only holds 3 cards and you can’t fill it ok much because if the design and the key pouch can actually hold as much. I do love the look but not enough for me to go purchase one.
Wanna know your thought bout LV fold tote in PM size? For me it's a cute bag, but there's something bout it that makes me still uncertain to add into my collection 🙈🙈 TFS ❤❤❤
I agree about the recto verso. It just isn't my cup of tea. However, I am totally in love with my Sac Plats! That's right! 2 of them.😂😂😂 The petit sac plat is to me like a generously sized phone holder that can carry a few new items! Love them.😍
I was not a fan of the recto verso either. I think the key pouch is a much more useful item, however, the key pouch is always out of stock so I understand why people are buying the recto verso.
The Odeon bag is absolutely beautiful. It doesn't compare to the Galliera bag at all..
AGREEDDD!
First, the Odeon is not a hobo bag. It’s a crossbody bag. Second, it wasn’t a redo of the Galliera. It’s the new model of the previous Odeon.
I concurred with you. Actually, the bag she was comparing the Odeom with is called Louis Vuitton Thames and not Galliera. They are not the same and the design is totally different.
Shut it
I just got the odeon and sent it back. She's right. It was a decent bag but just wasn't worth it. Wasn't that nice looking
I love, love my Odeon! 🎉
My Odeon PM just arrived in Black! It is classy, and perfect for my petite frame. The black is more subtle than the neutral, which I appreciate. Front pocket is ideal for easy access to my iPhone and sanitizer. Fits everything I need perfectly without being bulky.
I recently bought the recto verso in empreinte and I'm loving it. It can fit my cards, bills, coins and even the key inside. I love that it makes all my mini bags more spacious...
Love the Odeon MM. I wear it almost daily. So functional and stylish! Purchased it in the mono black so goes with everything and all weather.
I bought the same one and I love it. I can carry everything I need. Great everyday bag. I was torn between the damier Ebene and the monogram/black, I chose the monogram but I feel a bit self conscious when I wear it to Walmart 😂
Maybe this bag is just not for her. I have both recto verso and Odeon MM and I love them very much! Both are good for free spirits 😅
I love my double zip pochette. I’ve become a small bag carrier in the past few years. And even more during the pandemic. I prefer not to carry a bigger bag while I’m out and about anymore. However if your lifestyle doesn’t fit with a smaller bag, it’s totally understandable.
The Odeon PM is actually the perfect *crossbody* bag as opposed to being a hobo bag. It’s a new model of the previous Odeon.

I just got my Recto Verso card holder yesterday and I actually love it. It's great for a mini wallet and it does fit more then you think. It's a great item.

It's funny because I think the Recto Verso and Odeon are such practical designs for LV and then the Petit Sac Plat is so impractical. It's like they're trying to target both young instagram influencers and more sophisticated moms to remain widely relevant.
Anyway, great video! I like it when people take a more critical eye to new releases and really consider whether something is a good purchase for them.
xx Julia
I've just bought the Odeon bag in black leather, and I'm absolutely in love with it, and it's comfortable thick strap! 😍🤩
I've been wearing this beautiful bag every day since - still loving it!
When I make a purchase on designer handbags, I have to really want it for long time...and I think hard. I don’t jump into anything right away. I currently own nano speedy and mini pochette & I’m happy with the two. ❤️
I dont see how the Gelliera is similar to the Odeon
Maya Maya totally agree
i dont see how this video is 15min long haha
It reminds me of the Besace
Yes agree
Lol I guess I see your point too! Xx
Just love the front pocket on the Odeon bag. I love a front pocket on almost any bag!!!
I've been in the market for a wallet I just not a fan of the recto verso. I like the other wallet the Juliette but over $900 I rather add a few hundred more and buy a bag instead. But as far as lv nothing is sticking out for me.
@michelle tate get the Rosalie Coin Purse. It's so pretty and functional. I use it to put a few coins, it holds quite a few cards and cash. It fits nicely in any bag. Best thing ever. I don't care the recto or those small pouches. The Rosalie fits my needs so well. I don't like using large wallets and I don't carry around alot of cards. So it perfect.
michelle tate I really like the Juliette wallet too. I’d rather add money , and get a handbag. I had the insolite wallet, and for what I paid for it, I could’ve gotten a brand new bag!!
I thought the same thing when I saw the Juliette! Would rather have a Chanel wallet.
Totally agree hun! Almost 1000 is very close to getting a mini bag! Xx
I just bought odeon pm and i love it becuz of the zip and adjustable strap.I normally use neo noe as a work bag so this odeon will be another everyday bag for me :)
LOVING my double zip pochette. So gorgeous and versatile!
I got the Odeon Pm and really like it. Have used it every day since I got it.
I plan on getting it too! But trying decide if I should get the black strap or natural? Which one did you get?
Gigi Herrera I got the black. I love it. Great bag.
Me too I love it
@@preciousg221 I just purchased it recently and I love it. It's perfect for day to day use. I got it in the black strap.
Love the honey vachetta leather on the Odeon. Gives a more classic vibes although the black is carefree. I did a detailed video on it. Good luck!
I agree with almost all the things you said....I do plan on getting the Odeon pm coz it looks very functional and love the crossbody option.
Gigi Herrera get it it’s a great bag❤️
So many people buy bags just for unboxing and getting subscribers. But then when they do a collection video, they only show 5 bags.
TheGlamItGirl lmao 😂
🤣🤣🤣
😆🤣
TheGlamItGirl stop by my Chanel today . I’m posting how I was scam by the real real buying a Chloe bag 😫
👏🏽👏🏽OK
I snapped up the reverse double pouchette... because at that point I did not have a reverse print and it has a leather strap. It’s flat so it bulges when I keep my hand sanitizer. But it’s useful as I use it as a wallet, with capacity for my house keys, car fob, tissues, hand sanitizer - and I bring along in my larger office bag, it works week as a lunch handbag. I prefer carrying a smaller handy align compliment a large backpack for my laptop or office bag.
Congratulations on your purchase hun! It is definitely a good item to add in the reverse mono! Just need to pack light haha xx
Isabelle's Style Yeah, have to pack really light.
Love your honesty about the views being the temptation. Makes you come across very real and down to earth. ☺️
Agree !
Fully agree with this list. So important to not fall into the online hype.
Exactly! Xx
I sold my monogram and Damien Beene
I sold both my Monogram and Ebene cles to buy the Recto Verso. No regrets, it’s a fabulous piece and holds much more than the cles.
I do have a LV Galliera Monogram bag in my collection. I agree with you! It's an amazing bag! And I also got an Odeon PM. They are definitely not the same. The Odeon MM might be almost the same size with the Galliera , but Odeon PM ist a totally different bag. It's smaller and it's a great not too fancy cross-body bag. Its just what I needed when I want to carry with me only my wallet, keys and phone.
I'm very happy with both of these bags!
I agree!
The reason why I keep coming back is for your practical & honest point of view. You never disappoint. Thank you.
The Pont 9 bag reminds me also to the Celine Triomphe bag and the Celine box bag. I don't like the Odeon style (of course just a personal preference) and finally can you guess what? I was in Venice last week for a couple of days and l fixed an appointment to see the recto verso cardholder. But the key pouch was luckily available too 😀 (which is quite hard to find in Italy too) and l ended buying the key pouch which l am so happy about ❤️ we thought the same thing 😘 ciao bella
Agreed! I also turned down the recto verso because my empriente key pouch holds so
much more at a better price point. I talked myself out of the double zip because of capacity and also the Odeon because I have cross body bags that serve a similar function. I will admit, I also thought to myself that the price on this bag would likely go up quickly because of its current value vs. price and popularity, but that’s not a reason for me personally to buy it. Love this vid!
I got odeon pm in DE , thought it was an ugly bag, tried it on and loved it 😁 great bag
I am debating on purchasing the Odeon PM. I've never spend over $500 for a bag so this is huge for me. I love the mono/black detail. I don't love long strap but I plan on purchasing a smaller shoulder strap for some versatility. Here in the US it comes put to $2200 give or take. I can't believe I'm even considering this😂😂🤦🏾♀️
Do it
I actually went to Louis Vuitton this friday to buy the Odeon mm. But even before i got to the store I had some doubts. I also looked at the onthego mm while I was there. But somehow I went home with the Odeon mm. But the second I got in the car I got a bad feeling. I put all my stuff inside but the opening is to small and if I wanted the stuff in the bottom I had to take everything out. And I knew i couldn’t live with that. And I also could not get the onthego mm out of my mind. But yesterday I went back and I change the bag into the onthego mm. And I couldn’t be more happy! So glad I followed my heart on this one! I know I would have regretted it badly if I hade stayed with the Odeon mm. Lovely bag but to small an the opening would have made me crazy🤣 even in the mm size.
I don’t know what happend to LV, a few years ago I got a full wishlist full of lv bags.. now I don’t know anymore I am owning 6 bags mostly Lv, and I am pretty happy with it but my actual dream bag is a lady dior 😃
EDIT: the recto verso is soooo overpriced you can get a beautiful full wallet with that money! So true! I do love the double zip Pochette, it reminds me a lot of my LV twice but I sold it since I didn’t used it anymore. But I do unterstand the hype a lot! The Pont 9 alone the fact that they gave it for free to a lot people who HAVE the money bye Lv :)
I think as our collection grows, we become more picky on bags that we add to the collection since we already have bags that we love. I also have a much shorter bag wishlist now than fee yrs ago! Exactly, the recto verso is just way too pricey for a small slg🙅🏻♀️ thanks for watching hun xx
Isabelle's Style thank you for your answer! I will be watching every video from you, you are my most favorite CZcams at the moment ❤️
Recto verso is honestly the best. Wallet and key pouch in 1. Size is great too. I haven't meet a person who has it that doesn't like it. So that's surprising
Am obsessed with Odeon PM
Okay, so I jumped on the recto verso. It's fantastic! I have all my cards and cash in it, and my key fob hangs on the outside! Fits so much more than the cles and everything is more organized. Perfect grab and go item. You may reconsider! lol I also picked up the Soufflot BB in monogram/noir. It's gorgeous and so practical. Those were my first LV purchases in a long time. Now back to Hermes. lol. OR! Thinking about the Capucines BB in galet....
Gucci bag is nice ,better than pont 9
Haha you are right, I may reconsider for sure😂 I have changed my mind on a few things in the past! Also, definitely recommend the Capucines in the galet, it is such an elegant bag❤️ xx
Yes!! This is the review that I need! Ive been thinking of the recto verso & odeon but somehow keep on postponing the purchase. As for the rest, never really thought if purchasing them. You're totally right about all these items, TQ Isabelle, you really helped me to make my decision. Stay safe, take care & cheers! 🌟
Definitely good to take your time deciding and if you keep postponing the purchase, it is usually a good sign that you are not completely in love with them! Xx
eastlisa The canvas tote actually reminds me of the Hermes Garden Party too.
Thanks for making this video to suggest more budget friendly alternatives. love it!
I agree with you. Wish they had not discontinued the Pallas clutch. Was much better than the double pochette. Thoughts on the new Gucci rerelease of the 1961 hobo? I think that would be a great summer bag.
I agree with U on all😂 I love my key pouch so versatile. Best SLG ever
It is literally the best! If I had to only keep one slg, this will be it! Xx
Hey Isabelle the LV Odeon is actually a revamp of the LV Odeon bag I want it but I kind of like the old one better it just seems to have less going on.i actually bought my daughter the Hermès Evelyne Mini 17 I don’t know if you’ve actually tried it or not but she can only fit her phone and a card holder and that’s it so small.
Totally agree with your list. I also have a greater appreciation for you and your channel after hearing you talk about how you didn’t purchase the mini sac bag. It shows that you are authentic. I get really turned off by you tubers that just buy and unbox for the ratings.
I like the look of the Odeon PM. I just can't pull the trigger on the purchase. I have the South Bank and I love this handbag and the Odeon reminds me so much of the South Bank.
If anyone's considering the Recto Verso, I think the Coin Card Holder is a much better choice at almost half the price. As Isabelle said, the RV is so thin that putting your keys inside would make the wallet bulge and ruin the wallet and simply not look good. The CCH does not have the key chain but since there's enough give in the main compartment, keys can fit.
But the key cle is hard to get! 😥
You just saved me some $$. You reminded me to enjoy the (hard to find) pieces I already have-thank you!
The Galliera and Odeon are nothing alike. The Galliera is a hobo shoulder bag, the Odeon is a cross body with adjustable shoulder strap and front pocket. I have both. Right now the Odeon pm is my everyday bag. You’re completely correct on the recto verso, the cles does same thing but I’m using both, the recto verso as a wallet w loyalty cards on chain it is able to be zipped in and I use key pouch for my keys.
Isabelle I been following you for a while now and always think omg she spends a lot of money on bags etc.... some of the people I follow is always talking about the impact and brands that will help the environment etc... I would like to congratulate you on the decision of not buying the unnecessary bag just to do another video. Now I see something interesting to follow.
Love you for your honesty, Isabelle! 🖤 I’m so glad that you mentioned the Saint Laurent Solferino Bag! It’s a gorgeous take on that particular style.
It is so gorgeous right? I kinda want one lol xx
Totally agree with you with all this LV item. I bought the petite Sac first day but returned it because the handle hardware was crooked and it’s too small and pricey$1800. I decided to get the Nano Speedy for $1590 and it fit more. The rest I was underwhelmed
Congratulations on your speedy nano! I’m still hunting for one xx
Isabelle's Style Brisbane LV have always been very helpful. I was able to get all the hard to get bags there, Multi Pochette. Vanity PM and the Nano speedy. 👜😍🤗
I recently bought the reverse monogram card holder and the quality is so disappointing, definitely think LV’s quality is going down :(
Aw I’m sorry to hear that! I was actually thinking I like the reverse mono card holder! Xx
I love the Pont 9 design, definitely something I could wear for years to come. I think generally luxury handbags are meant to look “boring” which translates to timeless and classic to me (Kelly, Birkin, Chanel flaps, Lady Dior etc. designs are all boring, if you don’t want boring go for fast fashion). Luxury bags are meant to be worn for a long time which is why they have that “boring” design.
But I do agree on what you say about the price. If I add on just a bit I’d get a Chanel classics already and that has been proven to be great for investments.
I’m definitely second guessing on that bag... I really need a shoulder bag similar to the Pont 9, if only the price were lower and the strap removable. WHY IS THE STRAP NOT REMOVABLEEEE
While I agree with you on the price point, I think the recto reverso is one of their best new pieces. It's an edgier fresher and more modernised version of the original cles. My sister has one and its absolutely gorgeous with the colour options and that pop of colour. I also love the easy access to the cards without having to unzip the main compartment! I get where you're coming from about most of the other pieces and also respect the practicality and simplicity of the original classic designs, sometimes it takes time for us to get on board with some of the new pieces as I honestly really hate most of them haha.
I've been eyeing the Odeon bag. It looks like a functional everyday bag and it'll be perfect for when I return back to work. Now the Recoto verso, I completely agree with you! Lol I can do without.
Just Jennifer has a video showing what fits in the Recto and you're totally right. When you fill it with everything, you can't fit your keys
I got the double pochette in reverse mono. I don’t have anything in that print and I always wanted a piece. Double pochette seems practical and functional and it’s really cute. I switch out the strap for another LV one.
It is definitely such a cute bag! If you don’t mind how flat it is, it’s actually a really good bag❤️ congratulations on your purchase hun xx
Isabelle's Style it’s pretty expandable (maybe in comparison to the material you had sold). It fits what I need ❤️
I absolutely love my recto verso. I got it in monogram. It was my first LV/designer purchase, and I love it because I don’t really carry a purse. I bought a black clutch strap on Amazon and put my 2 keys on the outside and OMG it’s so beautiful and casual! For my on the go style.
I also don’t carry coins with my typically. It is a little flat but I don’t really mind.
But yes I agree if I was getting this as an accessory I would choose something else, but since it’s more of a staple piece for me it’s perfect.
I actually splurged for the recto verso in noir empreinte! I was using a Kate Spade wallet that had a really similar layout and I loved it, so I thought this would be a nice upgrade for one of my staple items!
I also love the recto verso! 👍🏼
I actually do like the empriente version a lot more! Congratulations on your upgrade hun😍 xx
I love empreinte.
I love the Recto Verso wallet! It is one of the best and most versatile wallets LV has in their line. Obviously so because it is now made in all prints and in some leathers.
The Odeon bag is very cute, but I have the LV Bloomsbury, which is very similar but in the DE print.
The Recto Verso is amazing! You should reconsider. The key pouch you compared it to doesn’t hold even close to the same amount. But I have it in the Empreinte and don’t like it in the canvas.
The Hermès Evelyn crossbody that has an perforated “H”. I am in question why people spend the money where Coach makes the crossbody that has the same functionality, although it’s a fraction of the price? The Odeon is a crossbody and looks beautiful. I would also pass on the cardholder and spend the money toward a bag.
Thank you for posting this!! I feel like so many influencers go crazy over these new releases but you wonder why they like the item apart from the fact that it’s LV. Also just a side note, cles means key in French, so when you say key cles, you’re saying key key.
hi isabelle, what are your thoughts on the LV Trio Pouch? would like to know :) tyia
Recto verso is one of my go to SLG, and the Odeon PM new model is one of the best crossbody I have ever tried, in natural. I like it better than the black as it looks more attractive.
Would have love to hear your thoughts on the new empriente montsouris backpack... it looks great in the turtle dove and black color.
It’s beautiful!
I feel the same way you do about these. I have found that I haven’t seen a new bag this year from anyone that I have gotten excited about. I like the Pont 9 but not enough to even consider saving for one. I like the Dior Bobby better but even then I won’t be buying one as this style of bag is very similar to the leather Pochette Metis so I already have that type of bag in my collection.
I don’t like the Reverso Recto. I feel it’s trying to be too many things all at once and looks a mess.
I saw an unboxing of the Petit Sac Plat this week and it’s so tiny it looks ridiculous. And to pay $1800 for it? There is a sucker born every minute.
I love how honest you are! I totally agree, while some of these are really cute it’s not 100% worth it!
Great video! Interesting that you described the Odeon as a hobo bag. I never thought of it that way since it is a relaunch of their older Odeon bag, which is a crossbody. My personal hesitancy with the Odeon is that functionally, it is a duplicate of my Hermes Evelyne, which has been such a useful messenger style bag.
I guess it’s that rounded shape that makes me think of the odeon to have a hobo silhouette but it is definitely a crossbody bag technically! And I agree, the Evelyn is nicer hehe xx
You brought up some good points on the Recto verso. Aside from the cle pouch there are similar versions with the same layout such as YSL in leather, cheaper price minus the snap pouch in the front that the LV has. For the Odeon PM I love the look of it (monogram with black) especially since it has generous slip pocket on the front of the bag so you have easy access instead of unzipping and zipping the main compartment especially with the global pandemic. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!
So so agree with all the items you mentioned! Didn’t even need to hear you explain why. I’ll continue watching now...
Agree with all other than the odeon. Not at all comparable to the galleria in my opinion. I still wouldn’t be tempted though because I have too many other medium cross bodies in my collection. So glad you didn’t grab a bag for an unboxing and views. This is part of why I enjoy your channel. You are genuine and honest ❤️
Love your accent. Ordered the Double Pochette in giant reverse monogram from LV and returned it right away because it was just too small. It was absolutely gorgeous and I loved loved loved the print. If it were under $1,000 I might have kept it, but for me the cost/value didn't work out. So I bought a preloved empriente Twinset in black and I absolutely love it. Also acquired a preloved Trotteur for a super great price and I love that also. Will change strap on that to a monogram strap. And I'm now seriously looking at the Favorite. Could kick myself for not buying it years ago. Regarding the Galliera, I bought Damier Azur preloved in excellent condition and carried it for two summers. It worked out well for me but for some reason I began to feel it was outdated or not a modern look. And I moved into smaller slimmer bags that can be carried crossbody and a clutch, and be dropped into the large tote I carry to work every day.
You made some good points on the recto verso. I wish the envelope part was higher so you could not see the zip part in the back. Might be that way for functionality but it’s a visual flaw that bothers me even though I want it.
This was very helpful. If you had to choose from the Odeon PM (in black leather) and the Boulogne -- which one would you choose?
Love what you said about buying hyped bags just for the views. Love your honesty, thats why your videos are great to watch x
I don't agree with you regarding the Odeon PM. I love it in black, much more stylish than the one you mentioned. Worry free and more elegant with the black trim. I do find the Odeon MM a little clumsy looking.
I liked the look of the Recto Verso but purchased the Moreau Paris all-in-one wallet because it's made of leather and holds cash without having to fold the bills in half.
I love that you are so honest! I also love my little LV key pouch, it's so simple and easy to use. By the way you look fabulous!
Lol thanks hun! The key pouch is the best!! Xx
I totally agree with you on the recto verso and I like the way you put it about it not being $500 more impressive. I’m really torn on the petit sac plat... I just ordered it from the website but I know the capacity is poor. I’m going to try it on and see but for the price, it’s making me really think twice. The nano speedy would be a no brainer but it’s been almost impossible to track it down!
I have a SL small wallet like the Recto-Verso - and it was a lot less - could probably also get the cles and it would still be less. The Odeon is also a crossbody, which is different to the Galliera - I personally prefer the current Odeon bag, but wouldn't get it personally - I don't buy LV anymore. Totally agree on Sac Plat - love my Evelyne TPM, the leather is amazing, plus you can replace the crossbody strap with a chunky chain and go for this year's hardware style (without the major commitment). The pont neuf is so pushed and so boring.... Gucci, Celine, Hermes, Dior... all have done that already. Fun review!
Love how transparent you are to your viewers Isabelle. This is why i love watching you talk about anything! ^_^
A few mistakes; firstly, the new Odeon is not a remake of the Galleria. It is a newer model of the previous Odeon. Secondly, the picture you show at time frame 6.59 is of the LV Thames, not the Galleria that you are comparing this new Odeon to. The Galleria was a shoulder bag. The Thames was a shoulder bag. The new Odeon is a crossbody bag. What hobo bag are you referring to?
Hi Isabella great options to choose when buying a bag you really like to have I love the scarf you are wearing looks gorgeous with the top you wearing. Like your styles and thank you for your inspiration in fashion. Love XO 💖❤😊
Hi Isabelle, I 100% agree with everything you mentioned. I also absolutely love and prefer the LV key pouch - and crazy how much more affordable it is! Great video :) xx
I have the *double zip pochette* and I use it a ton 🤗. I was in 2 minds but I’ve used it more than any bag. I can fit all my essentials in it 👍🏽
Don’t use as a “bag”. It’s an *SLG* so I use it as a pouch when I have to go food shopping 🛒 or running around. And as a catch-all in larger bags.
I’m purchasing the *Dauphine lanyard key holder* to clip on to the pouch to use as a wristlet ✨
The Odeon is awesome it’s worth it
I have been debating on getting the recto verso. I had just recently bought the coin card holder and I also have a limited edition key pouch. I almost fell into the online hype until I watched your video and you talked some sense into me. 😂Thank you! All your explanations make total sense. ❤️
Odeon is a messenger bag. Galliera was not a messenger. The bag you showed when referencing the Galleria is not the Galleria since that bag has a zip top and the Galleria is open top.
I feel the same for all the items you’ve mentionned. I feel like the Odeon is an old model... with the round ring to attach the strap, I feel like it’s an old from the 90´s bag. The sac plat, look like an overprice lunch bag... the pont 9 look cheap with the in your face logo. Anyway, I am lookikg forward to the deauville mini instead... thanks for honest review! I totally agree with all your point of view!
Agree on Odeon looks like will be just a moment hype .
To me it’s just a simple bag with so many details . It’s not a simple bag that screams classy
I totally agree with you on this! Very sensible perspective as far as not jumping on an item just because it’s hot at the moment. Great video!!
I recently went in store to purchase the Odeon PM. After speaking with my SA, I opted for the Odeon MM. The bag is not extremely bigger but the top opening is wider making it easier to get my hand in and to get items out! Haven't worn it yet, still sporting my Artsy
Hi Isabelle! I love your channel❤️ how do you feel about the new launch coming from LV the montosouris backpack in canvas? I’m so excited to get it😉
I agree with every single piece and bag you show here ! But girlll I cant believe I let the Recto Verso get the best of me and I bit the bullet and bought one ! I have the mono Cles also and for the moment I am really loving having both ! But not thrilled with the price point at all ! I for some reason thought I would love the Odeon but I didn’t ! And the double zip pouch I don’t really care for either ! Great video
I totally agree with you. I got the double zip pochette giant jungle last years collection my one and only it’s very cute to look at but I never use it because i can’t fit “my” necessities & that extra face mask & filled the zipper gets wonky but it’s perfect for date night. maybe.. I’ll use it this weekend.
I agree with you about the Recto! The price point totally turned me off. It only holds 3 cards and you can’t fill it ok much because if the design and the key pouch can actually hold as much. I do love the look but not enough for me to go purchase one.
Wanna know your thought bout LV fold tote in PM size? For me it's a cute bag, but there's something bout it that makes me still uncertain to add into my collection 🙈🙈 TFS ❤❤❤
I will add that bag to the list of items to talk about in part 2 lol xx
I agree about the recto verso. It just isn't my cup of tea. However, I am totally in love with my Sac Plats! That's right! 2 of them.😂😂😂 The petit sac plat is to me like a generously sized phone holder that can carry a few new items! Love them.😍
Definitely agree. The rector versa price point is insane. It should be comparable in price to the men’s coin card holder which is under $400 USD.
I was not a fan of the recto verso either. I think the key pouch is a much more useful item, however, the key pouch is always out of stock so I understand why people are buying the recto verso.
I agree, it is so hard to get a key pouch now! But that price difference is just too much😳 thanks for watching Sarah! Xx
