Sunlit Style
There’s something magical about Greece—its sun-drenched islands, azure waters, and the promise of adventure wrapped in timeless beauty. This year, my family and I decided to make memories in Mykonos, one of the crown jewels of the Cyclades. With its whitewashed villages, vibrant nightlife, and stunning beaches, Mykonos beckoned us for a holiday filled with fun, relaxation, and a touch of luxury. Joining us on this journey was my trusty Louis Vuitton bag, a chic companion that added a dash of elegance to our escapades. In this post, I’ll take you through our unforgettable family holiday, share a review of my Louis Vuitton bag’s performance on the trip, and invite you to check out the full experience on my YouTube channel—because trust me, this adventure deserves to be seen as much as read about!
The Journey Begins: Setting Off for Mykonos
Our holiday started with a flutter of excitement as we packed up and headed to Mykonos. Traveling with family is always a balancing act—suitcases stuffed with essentials for kids, snacks for the plane, and, of course, my curated wardrobe. Among my must-haves was my Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM in Damier Ebene, a bag I’ve come to adore for its blend of style and practicality. I knew it’d be the perfect travel companion for carrying everything from my sunglasses to my toddler’s spare toys.
We flew into Mykonos Island National Airport (JMK), a short hop from Athens, and the moment we stepped off the plane, the island’s charm hit us. The air was warm, laced with the scent of the Aegean Sea, and the promise of a family adventure hung in the air. From the airport, we arranged a private transfer to our villa—no cramped buses for us, just a smooth ride to our home-away-from-home. My Louis Vuitton bag sat proudly on my lap, its iconic pattern catching the light as we wound through the island’s hilly terrain.
Our Gorgeous Villa: A Private Paradise
Our accommodation was nothing short of spectacular—a luxurious private villa perched above a secluded beach with views that took my breath away. Nestled just outside Mykonos Town, this villa was a haven of whitewashed walls, blue shutters, and sprawling terraces overlooking the sea. The infinity pool shimmered in the sunlight, blending seamlessly with the horizon, while the interior boasted open spaces, plush furnishings, and all the modern amenities we could ask for.
The private beach below was the real star. It was ours alone—no crowds, no noise, just the gentle lapping of waves and the soft sand beneath our feet. My kids ran straight for the shore, their laughter echoing as they splashed in the shallow waters. My husband and I set up camp under a shaded canopy, sipping chilled lemonade from the villa’s stocked fridge. The Louis Vuitton Neverfull rested beside me, holding towels, sunscreen, and my camera—everything we needed for a perfect beach day.
The villa’s views were postcard-worthy. From the terrace, we watched boats glide across the Aegean, the islands of Delos and Naxos faint outlines in the distance. Sunsets were a daily ritual—golden hues melting into pinks and purples, painting the sky as we gathered for dinner al fresco. This was luxury living, and it set the stage for a holiday filled with family fun and unforgettable moments.
Family Fun in Mykonos
Mykonos is often pegged as a party island, but it’s so much more than that—especially for families. Our days were a mix of exploration, relaxation, and pure joy, all tailored to keep everyone happy, from my toddler to my husband. The private beach was our playground. My kids built sandcastles with lopsided towers, while I waded into the crystal-clear water, its coolness a balm against the warm sun. My husband tried his hand at paddleboarding, borrowed from the villa’s stash of gear, and I couldn’t resist filming his wobbly attempts for my YouTube channel. The Louis Vuitton bag proved its worth here—its spacious interior held snacks, water bottles, and even a change of clothes for the little ones, all while looking effortlessly chic against the sandy backdrop.
Exploring Mykonos Town
No trip to Mykonos is complete without a visit to Chora, the island’s charming main town. We wandered its narrow, cobblestone streets, marveling at the whitewashed buildings and vibrant bougainvillea. The iconic windmills stood proud against the skyline, and Little Venice, with its colorful balconies overhanging the water, was a photographer’s dream. My kids loved the gelato shops, their faces smeared with chocolate as we strolled. I slung the Louis Vuitton bag over my shoulder, its lightweight design making it easy to carry through the bustling alleys, holding souvenirs like a hand-painted tile and a tiny windmill replica.
A Day Trip to Delos
One morning, we took a short ferry ride to Delos, a nearby island steeped in history. This UNESCO World Heritage site, the mythical birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, is an archaeological treasure. We explored ancient ruins—temples, mosaics, and the famous Terrace of the Lions—while my kids ran around, imagining they were explorers. The Louis Vuitton bag was a lifesaver here, carrying water, hats, and my camera to capture the ancient beauty. The ferry ride back was choppy, but the bag’s sturdy canvas held up, keeping our essentials safe and dry.
Back at the villa, we made the most of our private space. Evenings were spent around the pool, my husband grilling fresh fish from a local market while I mixed mocktails for the kids and something stronger for us. We played board games on the terrace, the sea breeze rustling through, and watched movies in the villa’s cozy living room. These quiet moments—laughing over a spilled drink or chasing my toddler around the pool—were the heart of our holiday, grounding us in the joy of being together.
Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM Review: A Travel Essential
Now, let’s talk about my Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM in Damier Ebene—a star of this trip and a piece I’ve been eager to review. I’ve had this bag for a while, but Mykonos was its first big family holiday test, and it didn’t disappoint. Here’s my take on how it performed, with all the details you’ll want if you’re considering this luxury icon.
The Neverfull MM is a classic, and for good reason. The Damier Ebene pattern—those rich brown and tan checks—exudes sophistication without being flashy. It’s versatile enough to pair with anything, from my beach cover-up to a sundress for dinner. The gold-tone hardware adds a touch of glamour, and the leather straps feel luxe yet durable. On Mykonos, it stood out against the island’s white-and-blue palette, earning compliments from strangers and a nod of approval from my fashion-savvy friends.
This bag’s name says it all—it truly never feels full. With dimensions of 12.2 x 11.4 x 6.7 inches, it’s deceptively spacious. On the beach, it held towels, sunscreen, snacks, and my kids’ toys without bulging. In Chora, it swallowed up souvenirs and my camera with room to spare. The open-top design with a drawstring closure is both a pro and a con—easy access is great, but I kept an eye on it in crowded areas. The interior pouch was perfect for stashing my phone and wallet, keeping essentials secure.
Carrying a loaded bag all day can strain your shoulders, but the Neverfull’s wide leather straps distribute weight evenly. I wore it over my shoulder or in the crook of my arm, and it stayed comfortable even on long walks. The canvas is tough—sand, water splashes, and a toddler’s sticky hands didn’t leave a mark. After a week of heavy use, it still looked pristine, a testament to Louis Vuitton’s craftsmanship.
Mykonos Verdict
This bag was made for a trip like this. It handled the chaos of family travel with grace, keeping me organized while adding a luxe touch to my outfits. The only tweak I’d wish for is a zipper closure for extra security, but that’s minor compared to its overall performance. Whether you’re a mom on the go or a solo traveler, the Neverfull MM is a worthy investment—stylish, practical, and built to last.

Reflections on a Perfect Holiday
Our Mykonos holiday was everything I’d hoped for and more. It was a chance to reconnect with family, soak in Greece’s natural beauty, and make memories that’ll last a lifetime. The private beach villa was our sanctuary, a place where we could unwind and just be—whether that meant swimming at dawn or stargazing at night. Lake Tahoe might have its mountains, but Mykonos has a soulful charm that’s hard to beat.
The Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM elevated the experience, proving that luxury and practicality can coexist. It wasn’t just a bag; it was a partner in our adventure, carrying our essentials with style. Sharing it all on YouTube felt like the cherry on top—a way to relive the trip and inspire others to chase their own family getaways.
As I sit here, flipping through photos and editing my latest video, I’m already dreaming of our next holiday. Mykonos left its mark on us—a blend of sun, sea, and family joy that’s hard to forget.
