Thank you! It's so wrinkly I don't know how to store it or use it now. Is there any way to "iron" it out? Or there's no way to save it?

Stuff it up with acid-free tissue paper (the stuff that they usually stuff bags with or wrap clothes with when you are purchasing them) to the desired shape, being sure to push up any creases on the vertical seams when the bag is set upright on a flat surface. Store the bag upright.

This will reshape the bag to a small extent, but with the leather having softened already, it won't ever look like the new structured Peekaboo bags.

Question: how long does it take for the sides to slouch ( & have an actual peek a boo effect) on selleria leather? Should i store my medium unstuffed, with side snaps undone to speed up the process? Getting impatient for this bag to not look so stuffy, given it’s size....

I have the men's Peekaboo in Selleria and since I don't use it very often, the leather hasn't softened much. I had to push the front down and keep it down on numerous occasions to get it to drop a bit. I didn't expect the peekaboo effect to be so difficult to achieve on the bag.

I suggest using your bag more often and opening the front several times to get the leather to soften. And when storing it, don't stuff the front all the way back up. I only stuff the bottom of the front so that the corners don't get misshapen.

I’ll try your stuffing suggestion.. i rotate through quite a few bags so can’t use it as often.. thanks!

Still trying to sell my regular in hopes of getting a mini black peekaboo, probably will be Pre owned. A problem I keep coming across when looking at the preowned ones is the loss of structure and the wrinkle and saggyness of the leather. I understand that the newer generational are made to be more durable and structured but is there any way of telling this newer generation apart from older ones when they both are new? How can I be sure I’m buying a new generation one, are the sides thicker or is there any way of telling? Thanks to whoever answers!

If it’s a nappa peekaboo from 3 years ago would it be the old gen or new

3 years ago would be new. The first generation Peekaboo bags are much older.

The older ones tend to have canvas lining, a bit of a degrade effect along the middle (vertical) of the front and back, and the seam that attaches the front panel to the sides shows that both leather pieces are stitched together behind the seam, almost suggesting that the bag was made inside-out and then inverted. In other words, you should not see any stitching around that seam.

The new generation ones are different. There is stitching at the aforementioned seam. On the smaller versions, the front panel is stitched over the side panel (with stitching revealed at the front). On the larger versions, both edges of the panels are exposed at the seam, with hand-painted resin/edge-dye.

Ok got it! Thanks for the reply you always come to the rescue with answers I really appreciate it so do you think user Kkatrina that posted her peekaboo the page before this one has a new or old gen? Is that typically the type of wear I should except with a nappa peekaboo?

Agreed with Samira that you always post such helpful tips!!

I'd like to know when mine was too (because I bought it preloved so I don't know!)

Thank you!!

Thank you so, so much for your helpful advice!! This is much appreciated

Hi all, I've been helping my aunt find a new bag that meets her criteria and one that I suggested was the Peekaboo Mini. I was wondering about the turnlocks - do they get the circular scratch marks from the rotation of the dials? I've always been wary of turnlock closures for this reason so I want to make sure I give my aunt a full list of pros and cons that includes possible wear on the locks. Thanks.

Hi if you are worry about the wear on the turn lock. Probably u can sugguest your aunt to leave the bag open on the side where she will open more frequently. I leave both sides open most of the time as it's also more spacious to put more item in . So far there is no issue for my turn lock, hope this helps

Hello everybody!
I am considering getting the Peekaboo essentially. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of photos of this beauty yet. Would really love to see some photos!!

I’m really considering one too. I haven’t seen one in person yet. Heading to Vegas this summer and hoping to pick one up there, so I can try it on. I want the smaller of the 2 sizes. Looks like from dimentions, the small is between a mini and a regular peekaboo. That would be perfect!
