Givenchy Pandora

This is a pic of the color aubergine. I thought I was going to be a deep dark purple, like eggplant. It is not. It is a dark red that’s not as attractive as oxblood, in my opinion. So this is going back.

How soft does a small grained goat get, and how long did it take for yours to get that soft?

I recently bought a small grained goat, and a mini pepe. I really love the softness of the mini pepe, but the grained goat is more stiff and boxy. If I used it every day for 6 months, will it get much softer?

Once I ordered a small grained goat from Yoogis, that was listed as "Like New", and it was so soft that it literally puddled into a heap when I set it down. Like, completely flat. It was so weird - I know grained goats are pretty stiff when new, so I wasn't expecting that from Yoogis "Like New" description. Anyway, is it reasonable to expect that my grained goat will get as soft as a pepe, with continued use??
 
..finally pounced on this zebra velvet small pandora I'd been stalking all season when it popped up for 60% off during the BG holiday clearance

I knew it be the perfect big sister to my pony hair animal print mini I've had and adored for ages

I wore it the other day with a casual outfit and got so many compliments. I love that it's also a more carefree velvet than some of the velvet Gucci and SLs I've tried this season.

While I'm not buying pandoras like I used to, I knew I had to have this one (ad pic):drool:

Pandoras never "get old"....hope they keep making them in interesting variations!

....just seeing this....attached is a pic of my goat medium that I posted recently in another thread that I've had for >5 years.

I don't recall how long it took to relax....but I think wearing it a lot will speed the process along. I also have a caramel goat one I bought a year prior that looks similar as I pretty much wore nonstop when I got it. In contrast, I have a mastic goat pandora from a couple years ago that I wear less frequently that hasn't softened as much. HTH
 
Great find!

I’m also considering a gray one. What is the official color name for this one?

Do you plan on protecting it? Hesitant to purchase a gray bag, because I’m worried of stains and discolorations. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
I don't know the color , it's preowned
and no ,
I leave it untreated because the leather is perfect
 
Falling in love with my purple panda again. My new wallet matches it so well!
