im not keen i prefer the normal black paraty!

juldoc · Feb 11th, 2009, 07:16 PM

I do not like that funky triangular pocket on the new Paraty's, so I vote for the original.

juldoc · Feb 11th, 2009, 07:25 PM

Well, as you know I got rid of my Ink Python because I was too afraid (and maybe falsely so) that it would be so easily damaged. And I only carried the silly thing once. I learned my lesson and will never buy python again. Too much money to sit in a dustbag.
The SA tried to convince me to get Milk Python, but that was a super scary thought - Milk AND Python - I would have been afraid to look at it or breathe on it!!
I did just get a deerskin Milk Paraty and it is gorgeous, seriously gorgeous. For some reason I am fortunately not babying it like I was afraid I might, being a light colored bag.
All of this to say, REALLY think about how Type A you are and if it will actually get the use you want!

Zoe - I have noticed your Dior from other forums - is that the one you have? I love it, its one of the most beautiful bags around. Very much a 'display' piece. Love it ALOT!

I actually have the green woven Samourai Dior:) I also love the one in my Avatar - such artistic bags!

Thank you for the link. I really don't know why I couldn't find it.

I am so stumped on the paraty. Sometimes I think I have made up my mind to get one and then other times I think it is a big swerve. Probably if it were cheaper I wouldn't think about it so much.

I'm not a a big fan of the polished/patent leather on this one (or generally). I am thinking it is such a classic that it is spoilt with the textured leather and the extra pocket.

Phheeww I don't know if that helped you but it helped me. I feel a big relief not thinking about how many other bags I have to forgo to save up for this one!

I hate being tied down!

pics please! do you have a thread on your bags? Would love to see it.

daisyrockyrosie · Feb 11th, 2009, 09:44 PM

very pretty - i like the python better in the snake than the leather, makes it look just that little bit more WOW !!! good luck with your decision and purchase.

Go for it! It's very pretty.

Hello. I recently bought the Chloe Saskia in metallic. Its GORGEOUS. LOVE IT! BUT, i noticed that only after using it a handful of times, the corners have a bit of rubbing where the metallic seems to be coming off! I am so afraid that this is just going to get worse. I take really good care of my bags and like them to last a long time. Does anyone know what I can use to protect the metallic leather? And also for waterproofing? Please any suggestions would be good. Maybe something i could order off the internet? I live in London by the way.
Thanks so much! I am too scared to carry it again until I find something!

mananay - Hi there - the metallics DO rub I'm afraid. I'm posting a link to the Furniture Clinic (sounds crazy - but they do retail products for use on leather bags and also do handbag restoration) - so it would be worth checking the website and also contacting them - and asking them for advice -

http://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/Handbags_Luggage.htm

I'm also moving this Thread - to the Opinions/Advice Thread - as it would be more appropriate in there.

I had a hard time contemplating which one to choose as well. I really wanted the python paraty in black too, but I ended up ordering the new pocket lambskin. My current black staple is my Chanel quilted flap bag. Since I already have a favorite black bag, I couldn't justify the $4k on a bag I might not get as much mileage from.
Let us know which one you end up getting!

Was there ever a Paddington color named "Bois"? It looks like the muscade in a picture I saw of it.

Hi, yeah there is a Bois - it's a bit different to the Muscade but i think somewhere in between that and Whiskey - try a search of TPF i'm sure there are pictures
