Any problems w/NEW Blue/White stripe lining??

Arm Candy Lady! · Sep 16th, 2008, 04:37 AM

Hey Minkettes,

I thought it would be good to open a thread regarding any possible issues with the NEW Blue/White stripe lining. I know for me, I only have one bag with this lining & it's my MAB - Iris/Purple Lizard (check out my thread if you have not @ MAB - Iris/Purple Lizard...so LUXE...come see!)

The lining is AWESOME & it's a great combo with this bag

However, I must admit there is a slight problem, it appears the lining "bleeds" a little bit I noticed the blue lines near the top by the zipper starting to fade/bleed a little bit into the white stripe so it looks a little smudged. I am not sure if I had something on my hands like oil or maybe my hand sanitizer was not completely dry when I touched the inside to grab something

Also, the lining did NOT bleed onto anything that I was carrying in my bag.

Here's a photo to show what I am talking about. Like I said it's not a BIG deal for me since I am certainly keeping my bag...I

it! Just thought I might bring this up, just in case anyone else should have a problem or hopefully you can avoid this problem if you have something oily or wet on your hands. Anyone else have this problem yet??

Ohhh I just received 2 bags last night with this lining. I don't like the texture of the lining but that's something I can live with. This smudge...

I have a lot of silk pouches in light colours in my bag & if the lining bleeds on them...

<- this will be me. I don't know if it's a good thing it bleeds only onto itself. BUT I will start to use my RM bags tom & I will inspect the lining end of day & report back here. Thank you for letting use know. I tend to apply handcream on my hands so I will be sure to not go near the bag when I have them on my hands.

It's silly that you should have to worry about having anything on your hands, like hand sanitizer, when you go into your bag! I'm glad to hear the lining didn't bleed onto anything inside your bag, though!

I dont usually put much in the pockets besides my blackberry curve but I noticed that it's starting to tear? at the top where the pocket is sewn.

The black and white lining was so much better and more durable IMO.

Thanks ladies for sharing your feedback regarding this lining...I guess only time will tell how well this lining will hold up! Until then, I am wearing my BAG with a BIG SMILE on my FACE & not a care in the world!

Arm Candy Lady maybe Cory at RM should be called. It is so unfortunate that the lining of your bag bled. I truly believe for a company to grow it should be aware of issues with the product. It seems lately that RM has had a few problems. Not to long ago I bought a purple patent Rendezvous clutch that had a slit along the piping. I called the e-tailer I dealt with, who no longer had any of the clutches in stock, so I tried working with Cory at RM, and she was unable to help me. Luckily, the customer service at the e-tailer was superb, and I was offered another from their upcoming re-stocking of the clutch. I was kind of disappointed with Cory's inability to help out especially since this bag, at the time, was in limited quantities. Please let her know of the lining issue. I really think they should be made aware of this issue.

Ohhh ACL, I have that bag arriving tomorrow from Revolve...I'll keep you posted on whether mine bleeds. And BTW your pictures totally sold me on that bag!!!

I agree-- I loved the cotton canvas lining. You never had to worry about it and any marks cleaned right up with a Tide pen. I put a lot in the inner pockets-- phone, keys, cologne bottle-- so I hope mine doesn't tear.

The striped lining does look chic with the dark blue bag, though.

oh no... how weird that the lining is bleeding or smudging

Maybe the way it was printed makes it susceptible to bleeding?

ACL, from the pic the edges of the lining look a bit bluer too - maybe it's colour coming from the leather, or the zippers? Le's hope RM can figure out what's going on with the new lining - bring back the B/W floral lining

(altho i agree that the strip lining does look quite pretty in some bags

)

pinkboudoir · Sep 17th, 2008, 09:47 AM

I used my MT in NL today & even though at some point, my hands was not completely dry, I don't see any smudging. So far, so good!

You could be right Mel Mel...maybe the smudge came from the inside color of my bag, from the leather. It's no biggie, I am still rocking it!

ITA TXHoneybee..but I don't want to start up a riot or anything about this with RMs people, plus it may not go anywhere...KWIM. I think Mel Mel might be right about the leather color transferring onto the lining a little but all is well now, the problem has not continued...thank goodness!

I do appreciate your feedback

Okay, let me check my bag (I am in Iowa City for work -- never been here before)...my wine Nikki has no lining bleeding. I am sorry that you are having problems with this, ACL! I would def. keep an eye on it -- and regardless of whether it's the leather or the lining, you really might want to consider letting RM know quickly. The new striped linings are made of bengaline, and that is the very same fabric being used on several of the new RM bags (the ones with patent trim: MAM, MAB, and Cheri, I believe). I can only imagine that they would want to know that the bengaline might be a problem ASAP! And if it's the leather, you should get a new bag from them -- and waiting much longer might make it very hard for RM to get you a new one of these, since they are hard to come by now as it stands. HTH!

pinkboudoir · Sep 21st, 2008, 11:08 AM

Day 3 with my Deep Red Nikki. The lining BLEEDs!!! Unfortunately it bleeds onto my Balenciaga Yellow Coin Pouch. It shows at the corner of my pouch. I like the fabric lining better. They should just do away with these bengaline(sp?) fabric.
