After the discussion about the purple being so different I said I would post pics of how puddled mine is, so here are the before and after shots:

First Day : some structure, but it was already starting to smoosh

Now its literally a puddle! But I keep so much in it that it looks structured lol. I'm embarassed with the flowers I posed it by, they aren't my best but the rest were all wet from watering this morning, and I am so jealous of everyone's tropical pics all the time that I needed some green with my purple!

Anyone else have pics of the older purple before and after?

The photo actually makes me laugh!! Ya know though...makes me wish I got a LM Midi instead of my SMM Purple. CRAPOLA!!!

I think Sara has something like this too!

Love those pics! The 'after' photo is how I feel after taking my twins to Sea World for the day!

Sara999 had a thread too, but there's a discussion within a discussion (the purple midi thread)about how we think they purples are two totally different leathers....the midi's are puddling like crazy, yet someones older LMM is NOT...and mine is newer as well and it has NO form..

I think sara999 had some form to it still...I thought it would be good to put them all on one thread to compare the two purples... its a HAPPY FUN topic LMAO!

savvy23 · Jul 1st, 2008, 11:41 AM

LOL!! ^^^ Ok...got things to do today!

mariabdc · Jul 1st, 2008, 11:43 AM

I am stunned... The second one is just a puddle of leather...
I am working really hard (without abuse) to make my SMM softer... I'll post pics when she is slouchy...

I agree...I just love your photos. My daugther is sitting next to me and said "Mommy, what happened to her purse?" It gave me a much needed laugh this morning...

I was thinking the samething though...all those tropical photos makes me want to put sand in my garden and sleep there!

sara999 · Jul 1st, 2008, 11:57 AM

ah well i haven't taken any empty shots yet! if i did they'd be on the floor too

kings_20 · Jul 1st, 2008, 12:20 PM

Wow!! I can't believe how much the purple puddles. Mine is the LMM and it is still pretty structured. It's softer but definitely nowhere near that puddly. My purple smm is stiff but has softened some. The second pic made me laugh too!! It looks like the LM is just lounging about :)

zooba · Jul 1st, 2008, 12:23 PM

Will the fuschia do the same? The purple is so fluid it's amazing.

kings_20 · Jul 1st, 2008, 12:24 PM

^^

I believe so, since they are the same type of leather :)

Suzzeee · Jul 1st, 2008, 01:14 PM

Wow - thanks for posting those pics - that Purple color is stunning! I'm loving that this leather softens up like that too.

TropicalGal · Jul 1st, 2008, 01:26 PM

my gold stroke me is collapsing deliciously!!!

My Purple Midi after 4 days of use. The leather on this bag is incredible.

And my Dark Grey LM (couple of months of use). Leather is so velvety.....

Tash1 · Jul 1st, 2008, 03:43 PM

crazy4...your Midi in the second pic is looking chilled!!! I love, love that colour!!

My dark grey midi is softening up, and has developed a sheen to it!
