Back in 2008, I remembered liking this handbag for its simplicity, convenience and elegant look. Today, this bag still plays its role in achieving all of those features. When I was admiring the Batignolles that time however, the price tag was around $790 or so. Today it sells for $930! Louis Vuitton sure knows how to markup their merchandise!
This bag is great for everyday use, but it also has its drawbacks. The top of the bag or the entrance of the bag does not have a zipper or any sort of magnetic closure. Instead, they have a metal ring and clasp that hooks into one another to keep the bag from flying open. This is a big “no no” for many gals like me. I’m afraid that my belongings might fall out. Also, I don’t feel too comfortable being a prime target for pickpockets.
Anyhow, this bag is still one of Louis Vuitton’s top selling pieces in their classic Monogram canvas line. Who am I to judge, right?
