I'd say it's a keeper, it looks great on you

I love the patent blue, though patent isn't my favorite leather. I think it's a common misconception that patent leather is very durable, in purse at least. It really is not. The biggest danger is stains that appear underneath the leather and that are pretty much impossible to get rid of. But, this shade is probably dark enough for that to so obvious.

It looks FAB on you! I like both the casual jeans look and the dressier look! You have a great figure too!

I love patent, very easy to clean!

glistenpearls · Nov 1st, 2009, 04:07 PM

I love it! You should keep it.

Does patent leather lose its glossiness and puffiness very quickly?

I am thinking to get the exact piece as Adia but I've heard a lot about patent leather ...so, still hesitating...that's the only reason holding me back. I am absolutely in love with the colour and the entire look of the chic bag

Ohhhh this is gorgeous! It's unique, but so versatile! It works really well with both day and night looks. It's a keeper, for sure :)

OP, I wasn't a huge fan of blue nor patent bag but I was totally smitten by your modeling pics, you truly rock it!

You have proved that Jumbo is a perfect size (so much so that some TPF experts here have mistaken yours as M/L size, hee...hee..), totally versatile and not just good for casual days. Keep it for sure!

Thanks sylphfae, glistenpearl, **Chanel**

Thanks kewave, I thought I was going to like the large better, but once I tried it on both. Jumbo was a better choice for my frame.

bagbury - Good Q! We'll have to wait for other patent owner to confirm about the concern. I've had a patent Anya Hindmarch for 2 years and so far no staining.

peafleut - Thanks for letting us know. How does staining seep though?
