From Alberta, Canada with LVoe

Hello my name is Aaron. I really love your website, as we both share a passion for Louis Vuitton. I would like you opinion. I am going to be buying a bag for school, so I will be carrying books, my laptop, binders, that kind of stuff. These are the two I have narrowed it down to. The Keepall 45 Monogram Macassar, or the Monogram Icare. This is why I want a second opinion. Fist off I own the keepall 55 in the Damier Graphite, and it is way to big to use as a school bag. So since the 45 is noticeably smaller, I think it could work. But I am scared that if I put too much weight in it, and use the shoulder strap, it might rip off. :( I don't know (it kind of freaks me out with just that metal tab holding the loop on the bag) Second I worry it is too big. Now the Icare, I really like it and wish they made it in the Macassar, but oh well. I most definitely do not want it in the graphite, or the ebene as I have enough of that patter. So I am stuck with the Monogram. Don't get me wrong, I do like the classic canvas, but the untreated leather, doing the whole patina..... not sure if I like it. I know it gives it character, but do you think it might make it look old really fast as I am using it for school. Hope not :)  Sorry it is kind of long. Hope you don't mind responding. best regards

I was late in replying back to Aaron but I am glad that he is happy with his Icare. Thanks for sending your photos, A.  LVoe it!!!
