Louis Vuitton Pochette in Epi Leather Noir

 In my previous post, I did mention that I have ordered LV Speedy 25 from official Louis Vuitton website. It will be posted to the preferred boutique and I will come collect as it arrives later. 

I was so anxious thinking of the big money I spend. I could not sleep for days.

I was thinking what the money should have been spent on, probably into my ASB account, or maybe I could start off my first investment into stocks. I do not know. It does not sit right. 

Haha it's an adult money and I started to think like an adult now. Gosh I hate it. 

I questioned Adeen alot, like would it be worth it? I can always cancel the purchase you know. Have I truly deserved it now? And, I can wait too. I have been waiting for several years now, few more years would not hurt I guess. Can I buy when I have better mind? Better financial.

And, so I called my sales advisor and I told him to cancel the purchase. He was okay and immediately process my refund. 

I was relieved. Surprisingly. 

So yeah, I won't be coming to collect the bag as I have told in the previous post. 

In fact, I purchased the preloved one. Yes that is the plot twist also the core reason why I wanted to cancel the initial purchase so much. Because, I have been reading alot since my purchase. 

They said (alot) on how your first LV is so precious. We bought it for a number of reason and it would hold sentimental value, so you will not sell it in future. You will keep it like it was your first baby. 

And for that, it is not an investment bag, where you want to keep for years and sell it after sometimes to gain appreciation. 

It's something you would wear daily, something you want to wear in all occasions. You would abuse the bag because you are utilising its function to the maximum usage. You would be proud wearing because, well, it's your very first LV bag. You would cherish its existence like no other. 

And for that, the entry price could not be too expensive (if you have the thought of selling it in future) , one because the price margin after years would not be too high. Also, condition after an extensive wear would reduce the resell price later. 

I had a long thinking for this, and decided let's have the preloved ones. The good one. 

and so I settled with this hehe

It is an LV Pochette Accessoires in Epi Leather Noir

This bag was produced in 2012, so when I bought it now in 2023 it means that the bag has been 10 years in age. I am amazed how it still looks new and timeless.

I also figured out that it's a rare collection actually, as the bag has been discontinued by LV two to three years ago. So you will not find it anymore in any of LV outlets, unless they want to make re -edition. LV now however, still maintains its other Pochette collection like Felicie Pochette, Mini Pochette and Multi Pochette. 

Also what confides me and I did not think twice when purchasing this is after listening to this Youtube video: 

Why Epi Leather? 

Because, it is the most durable material from LV other than the Monogram and Damier canvas. Epi Leather was first founded in the 80s when LV fulfilled a custom order by an Indian Emperor during the time. Epi Leather is made from grained calf leather, and has been embossed with horizontal pattern. It is also a signature material from LV, you would know when you see one although it is not as famous as the two canvas prints.

I think it represents myself most, too. As the Epi Leather has the most silent LV logo on the bag. It is very silent and monotonous unless you come closely and then you would see the logo. 

Like some people say, 

"Where the monogram leather screams for attention, the Epi whispers"

Vogue Magazine in one of the many editions also wrote how Epi was underrated, super timeless and investing in one will never go out of style. 

To my first Louis Vuitton, to my second, third and numerous collection in the years to come. 

Hahaha.
