Oh that’s tough! I saw the grey too and thought it was SO BEAUTIFUL but ultimately went for a darker color because I know it’ll hold up much better. I think both sizes work for you so it’s really your preference, but I actually prefer the black one on you over the grey
Think you are right but I do like your fondant too….
 
Has anyone tried to use the large as a work bag? I found one today and was super tempted, as you could use a double strap configuration, but DAMN it’s freaking expensive.
I actually did get a large and am using it as a work bag (carrying a laptop among other things). Definitely very expensive and delicate, although I try to be careful with it. A little early to say how well it will hold up but given how soft and delicate the leather is I am steeling myself for wear and tear eventually!

I just discovered this bag today and am obsessed. Anyone have updates on wear and tear? What can be done about the corner and strap wear?

If I do end up buying this bag, I’m concerned about aftercare. I don’t have any BV and have confirmed that any bags not bought through a BV boutique do not receive the aftercare warranty. Knowing that this bag is likely to get wear on the corners and strap make me weary.

I know I’ve already sung my praises of the Andiamo multiple times on this thread, but I’m updating my review after around ~5 months of use and a major lifestyle change. Now that I’ve had my baby girl :) so many of my beautiful bags are sitting in my room unused because they’re simply no longer big enough/practical (and let’s be honest I am leaving the house way less these days!) because if I am going somewhere, I’m almost always with baby. So of course I have my diaper bag that’s a standard nylon backpack, but the first time I felt up for a social activity I decided to try using my medium Andiamo; for quick/smaller outings with my daughter I can totally fit all her things on one side of the divider and mine on the other! It helps me feel more stylish/like myself again and has really solidified my love for this bag!

As for wear and tear I’m still not noticing any on my straps, and just a bit of corner wear/along the bottom (really think they should have put feet on this bag!) but I’m sure having it in black helps minimize any wear showing. I’ve been using it a lot more since when I first posted and it still looks almost brand new. I was hesitant to buy it when the SA said it wasn’t covered under the certificate of craft warranty but she also assured me if anything goes wrong I can just bring it in and they’ll take care of it. Hopefully I don’t have to test that offer !

Has anyone seen or tried the clutch? I’m extremely curious. I tried the regular Andiamo in the small in the boutique and loved it. I have too many other similar style bags but the clutch is making me drool. Is it new? I can’t find any details
