Unboxing: Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessories NM and Mini Pochette

This Christmas I wanted to knock two of the smaller items off my wish list and as you can tell by the title, I did (:

Wish List (All photos are from the LV website)

I was also looking at the Pochette Metis since it was getting discontinued and it's been on and off my wish list.  I assessed my need, watched a lot of youtube videos on it, weighed the pros and cons and after a long week of going back and forth I decided that it would be best to skip it.  Hopefully whatever is replacing it is amazing and at a lower price point.

I ended up finding both items at the Tumon Sands Plaza and both are Made in France.  I have come to the conclusion that as long as it's not Made in the USA, I will be okay with it.  Not because the Made in the USA is bad, but because I'm paying for a luxury brand from France and I would at least like it to be made there; or Spain.

The Holiday Ribbon is an Orange/Red color and it's amazing against the brown box. 

My first SLG

Perfect pair; I kind of want the MiniP in Monogram now.

(You can't really tell, but my cards, IDs, rewards cards and some cash is in there; still have room for more.)

(Made in France) (:  

I have always had my eye on these two pieces, because of the functionality and price points.  They are on the more affordable side being under $500 USD.  Also, if you're on Guam it's cheaper here than on the US website AND there's no sales tax.

There's a Christmas party coming up and I'm excited to uses both of these.  I did order some gold chains, a long one for cross body and a short one for shoulder, off eBay.  

If you're looking for a good gift or starter piece from LV, I suggest one of these or the Key Cles/Pouch, depending on your needs. 

Updated Wish List 

Since the Pochette Metis is being discontinued and I couldn't commit to spending that much money on myself during Christmas, I have been looking for different options.  I found the Twinset, or pochette, or clutch...whatever.  I'm half into it and half not; It doesn't look big enough or might not be able to hold enough for me, I don't like that you can't remove the long strap, I'm not 100% sure about the prints or colors it's available in...I'm not sure in general.  If you have any opinions on the Twinset/Pochette, please leave a comment.  I feel like i've watched so many videos and they aren't pushing me in either way.
