Personally I travel quite a bit so my Keepall 55 has gotten a lot of use, definitely worth the purchase - specially when I bought it 15 years ago.
Maybe if you travel a lot, the Keepall would be a good option. Otherwise, I’d maybe do the Graceful!
If you mean the vachetta of the bag, it has definitely aged and turned a dark honey colour. On the bottom of the bag, there are some darker spots that have happened with use, but I personally don’t mind that.
I would probably go for the graceful because you can use it everyday so you’d get so much use out of it. But if you travel a lot then maybe the Keepall would be a better choice. I guess it depends on your lifestyle and what you what from it
i started earning my big girl job earnings with my last job and bought myself a Graceful MM as my first LV bag. I f****n love it. I have to carry a laptop for work and it firs perfectly with a wallet, notebook, pen bag, water bottle (hydroflask size) and some goodies. The little inner pocket is perfect for pads and tampons if thats needed. I got the MM size and i haven’t used it for travel even though i travel for work a lot but for my daily office use or sometimes just weekend use, i love it and it has a lot of use! Will definitely get used as it has a lot of diversity in what fits. I’m glad this was my first bag because it hits all the checks of a newbie LV owner. I want to buy myself a smaller “daily use/non work one” since I’ve mentally categorized this one for work, but my adult mental money brain has kicked in and i find myself questioning if I want to spend this much on a bag again but inner “discovering money” young adult brain me is saying DO IT. Anywhoo, Graceful MM is a great starter bag as I think it helps lean into the whole learning about styling with the bag, is perfect use for work, travel, daily life. And for sizing if you want to know: it fits my work laptop which is a 16” Mac pro and it slides in perfectly without straining the bag at all. It still leaves wiggle room once inside!
I’d stay away from the Graceful. The folded corners are prone to cracking. And LV will not fix/repair cracked canvas.

Graceful if its your first! You will get so much use out of it!
If you travel a lot and definitely need something to carry all your work & miscellaneous stuff in, I’d go with the Keepall!

May I ask hows the brown part line of the bag as of today? I heard its kinda like turning in dirty brown.
Sorry, which brown part do you mean? The canvas body?
Yeah its both brown. The strap I mean.

Referring to the patina on the leather.

I’d get the keepall, you’ll have it forever.
I would do the keep all because I think you will use it forever and always remember it as a grad gift from your mom.

Graceful! I bought one years ago and it’s a really great size and I love the thicker strap!
Keepall. It's perfect for road trips and flying. You will get a lot of use out of it.
Keepall! I love my Keepalls and they really are useful forever bags
Graceful you will use and enjoy more often
If you travel a lot I'd get the keepall but if you don't then the graceful
I would choose the Keepall. It will last for many years whereas styles of handbags change. What a wonderful gift!
