I am seriously head-over-heels for this bag; I saw it IRL this weekend and I adore it. Does anyone own it? Is it worth saving for? It will take a couple of months on a shopping diet, but I just started a new job, so it's doable.
If you like it, 25 or 30 for me? (Most of you have seen my pics)

I've seen it IRL and I swear, if I didn't have to save up to buy real estate that would've been my birthday present to myself. Therefore you should absolutely get it. My mom has an older tote style in the regular Damier...I think it's so sophisticated.
I think you're tall enough for the 30...the 25 IMHO is only if you're short and petite.
my bff has that bag and she adores it. she's 5'3" and carries the 30 and it looks great on her, so i think that's a good size for you. it's the perfect summer bag, and if she hadn't gotten it then i'd probably would have. go for it!
Something to think about is how the vachetta will develop a patina. With the mono bags it looks natural for the handles to get darker, but I think it would look weird to have the white/blue bag with caramel leather trim. Just my opinion...

I love the shape of that bag and the print is very pretty. Not to be an enabler, but there is a free shipping code for eluxury this month. It is "JUNE"

That's a good point. I searched on the purseforum and found a photoshopped pic with the patina...it actually looked cool. Have you seen it? I love the look of the patina, and I love the damier azur, so I am hoping I will like them together.
HeatherLynn- maybe it's because we don't have a real winter here, but I never understood the "seasonal" bag thing. To me, material can be seasonal (straw bags in summer, shearling in winter, etc), but not color. And I don't know about you, if I am going to save for months for a bag, I am wearing it YEAR ROUND, even if I live in Alaska.

i just saw someone with this bag irl and thought it was very pretty. (and i don't even like lv) i was tempted to ask her to take a pic of it, but i didn't want to be a freak.
