I just returned from a 17 day trip to Europe (Mediterranean cruise and a longer stay in Valencia with a final stop in Paris).
I brought along my Marylebone PM as my tote and carry on and my Mini Pochette as a wallet/pouch inside the Marylebone and an evening purse/clutch. Both bags were great for travel.
I found the Marylebone straps have softened over the course of the trip. They now flop over a bit (with minor creases in the base of the straps but no cracking). In all honesty I prefer that they have creased a bit and softened.
I loved using my Mini Pochette as a small and discreet bag. I chose it over my other clutch items so I didn't have to worry about a second purse and I wanted to save on space.
Anyway, as for the reveal. I intended on buying the Vernis Key Pouch in Rose Angelique in Paris at the end if the trip but ended up buying it earlier once I found out it was sold out in that colour everywhere in Paris (and most of France)! I was so glad I asked in Marseille earlier in the trip!
So the hunt was on... I looked in Marseille, France, Genoa, Portofino and Rome, Italy... All sold out! I was about to give up and choose a different colour when I stopped into the store in Palermo Sicilly and was thrilled to find out they had one left in stock!!!
In Valencia, Spain I picked up an item I have been wanting for a while... The Stephen Sprouse Leopard Bandeau!
I also picked up two Longchamp bags during the July sales... One for myself (a limited edition MIF) and one for my mom as a gift.
Thanks for listening to my long story!
