I love my new sarah wallet in Amarante, but since I handled it a bit planning on where I'll put all my 'stuff', I noticed the smudges that came along with it. I guess the lighting in the boutique that day didn't really show the prints. I tend to be anal and want the wallet looking great all the time....I'm the same way with my granite counters-cleaning them until they're sparkling several times a day. I'm really torn on whether I should exchange it for a mono wallet. I know I won't like it as much, but at least I won't be cleaning it everyday. On the other hand, maybe I'll just 'get used' to the prints and become oblivious to them with time? It really does depend on the lighting.

If I did exchange the Amarante, I'm not really fond of the other vernis colors....but I know I'd feel bad about not having a 'piece' of the amarante in maybe a smaller piece, but nothing seems practical-a cles? I think a new ZCP AND a new wallet is redundant. I can't see paying $300 for a car key holder either.

Any thoughts?

HAHA I know exactly what you mean! I have a few vernis pieces (though no Amarante) and the fingerprints will disappear over time--I promise you that you won't notice them as much pretty soon. If you think they will drive you insane, then you should exchange it, but don't give up on vernis!

I have fingerprints on my amarante all the time but I choose to ignore them. :biggrin: If the fingerprints will drive you insane then you should get something else. I think the ligher colours are not as noticeable. i really like pomme, maybe it get that colour as I heard that it will be discontinued soon. Not sure if the rumour is true. :shrugs:

Yes, they are phasing out the pomme. I do like the pomme in a smaller piece like cles or zcp but not so much in a big wallet- I guess I'm just not a big 'red' person.

That's what I'm hoping....that's I'm being extra anal because it's brand new and not notice so much with time.

I would think a wallet is handled much more than a purse though while you're mostly touching the handles of your Alma.

Exactly! :yes: A wallet in amarante will always get loads of fingerprints. I have Brentwood in amarante, and that is fine - because I don't have to be touching the vernis all the time. Personally, I wouldn't buy a wallet in amarante for this reason.

I have a Amarante ZCP and it took me two months to get over the fingerprint issue--mind you, I had to put it away from time to time or I would go bonkers over the smudgey prints!

I do have a Mono Sarah Wallet and I adore that one and had it heatstamped with my initials in the shiny gold foil. I love the Monogram print, but I did have to get a little Vernis in my greedy little hands. :biggrin:

I love Amarante so much that I wipe it clean everyday.

I am anal like you, and yes, this colour easily shows finger prints, but I LOVE to see my Amarante pieces sparkling like it's new so I take care of it everyday. :smile:

It really doesn't take too long to clean it, and I can pretty much guarentee you won't be happy after you exchange it...I mean c'mon...It's Amarante! ;)

Agree. So it will be quite a challenge if you are really anal about keeping the wallet fingerprints free all the time. A different material (mono canvas, epi leather etc) may work better for you.
