I had this tweed both in mini and medium new last year when it was in the hype, spending a lot of time tracking down them after the shut down. Had them for months and decided to let them go new unused.Hi guys , what do you think about this tweed mini? I am afraid about wear and tear because of my nails ,,, for those who have , pls let me know thank you!
The tweed is beautiful and unique, but if you look up close, the linen part looks yellowish or dirty even though it's new. I think you can see that by enlarging the pictures on sale site. I remember one youtuber commented on that as well. She also checked all available online pictures to make sure it's just the fabric. As tweed tends to attract dirt, absorb moisture more than leather and harder to clean, I figured this tweed is prone to show wear if I am not extremely careful with it such as accidentally drop some food or drink on it or touch it with hands after applying lotion.
The tweed is a tight weaved one if I recall correctly, but I don't like some of the coco ribbon weaved flipped so at certain part of the bag, you see the back side of ribbon and some part ribbon twisted. I also feel the logo prints kind of loud to scream Chanel.
Those are the reasons why I part with it. I suggest studying the pictures of used ones online to get prepared on the potential wear and tear to see if those are acceptable to own it down the road. Some tweed material may be easy to fix even worn and less likely to show wear such as darker colors. Overall, I think this one is high maintenance so the use and enjoyment will be limited accordingly.
