how do you feel about the acacia spy?

Hello,
Just wondering how do you feel about the blue handle acacia spy?



Thanks!

This is a highly coveted spy bag! It is probably not an everyday bag for most collectors, but quite lovely :tup:. Here are some threads you may find of interest...my Liz has the purple handles, and now I have a "baby" (baulotto) Liz as well. Charming :nuts:

The bag is stunning and does go well with most things. I think if you love patent bags you will like the acacia. The body of the bag is like a patent bag, it does not look or feel like a normal nappa leather bag, this is because the bag has been treated to give it a shine.
 
Is it quite durable? Rain? Snow? I'm on the weatcoast so we can pretty much get three different weather forecast in a 2 hour span.


Any one else personal opinion on it?
 
It is somewhat durable. It is not quite as coated as one might think. FENDI has a Spalmati finish - coated fabric and a patent finish that are more plastic coated. There are areas of pure leather on the Acacia and if you get stuff on it, take it off gently, maybe a touch of Apple Leather Care -- on the other hand, it is not super fragile in the rain like LV vachetta leather...:s.

Oh yeah, and if you spill a glass of wine, don't leave your acacia spy in it, OK, or you'll be sorry:drinkup:
 
wow, i haven't visited fendi in a while. :P

i used to own this bag (purple color version) and i miss it dearly! luckily, i still have my baby spy in this style so i am happy.

this bag is quite versatile, especially for spring/summer/fall! i wear a lot of denim in my day-to-day attire and the bag went well with it.

i never took this one out in the rain, though occasionally i did get a few drops of water on it from washing my hands etc. it seems to always recover back to normal.
