So far my pale rose hasn't faded and I've had it since June. It's in need of conditioning though, so I'm probably going to buy some LMB products to condition and protect - I'm worried about these reports of yellowing!
The SA never mentioned the tendency to yellow to me - I wish she had, as I originally intended to buy the lilac. In fact, the SA didn't seem to have much product knowledge at all! Anyway, I still love the pale pink, it's easily one of my fave bags
