If I can name one bag from Louis Vuitton that flies off the shelves like cakes hot out of an oven, it is the Neverfull. It comes in 3 sizes and depending on who you talk to, it is either “OMG I love the shape, design and how much I can put in it!” or it is “Erm, everyone and their aunty is carrying one. People use it as a school bag! No!”<\/p>\n
Or if you ask my bag buddy as I did over chat, the answer was “NOOOOOOOOOOO!” which does sum up my sentiments about it \ud83d\ude42 As I said, its either love or hate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yet I can understand the appeal of the design (if we’re talking design and not the canvas). I have manhandled the Neverfull in store and the silly thin straps aside (an SA confided in me that they are too thin on the bigger bags and were prone to snapping) this is really a nicely designed bag. It is large and roomy and really, fits a ton so it gets you value for money. Yet if you want it to look a little more streamlined, the sides can be folded inwards so it becomes a trapezoid shape.<\/p>\n
Yet, the Neverfull comes only in monogram canvas or damier canvas which does not appeal to me. So, I happened to look around, and I found similarly designed bags that come in leather and would be about the same price. Some less, one markedly more but they are leather and for me, that matters a lot \ud83d\ude42 Here are the alternatives to the LV Neverfull that I found. Please don’t hit me if you like the Neverfull \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Don’t the designs look remarkably similar? \ud83d\ude42 If you are a design girl vs an LV girl then you could look at these.<\/p>\n
Of the 3 alternatives I spotted, I picked this one for my favourite<\/p>\n

The Michael Michael Kors Jet Set Travel\u00a0Medium from here<\/a>\u00a0grabbed me with its simplicity, colour, material and price. The burnt orange is eye catching which suits me (I like bright bags) and I like that its leather! It looks like the textured Saffiano leather used by Prada and if so, it would be hard wearing and look good for a long time. I saw it at the MK store here (in brown, not Tangerine that you see here) and its RM1339 which, if you’re eyeing something in leather and in a largish bag, isn’t too bad, but I’d suggest you get it online where its cheaper (and there’s sometimes free So yes, I’m eyeing that MK tote and since I don’t own anything by MK… \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n I’m afraid I’m not a fan of the Neverfull but I won’t knock anyone for owning or liking one because hey, we’re all entitled to our own tastes and preferences \ud83d\ude42 I am rather keen on that Michael Kors one so I’ll be watching out for free shipping and sales over at net-a-porter.com<\/a>!
