I am getting a bag next week and thought for months I wanted an Alma in Vernis. First I wanted the PM, but after seeing pics of the bag online after a few years of use...it didn't look like it ages well. It seems like (at least the Vernis) the sparkle fades and it started to look aged.
Then I thought the BB would hold its shape and luster better. I think this is true, but when I tried it on...as someone said, it just felt like a little girl bag without the strap. I think the "looks better on the hanger" comment defiantly applies to this for me. I realized it looks so pretty, but holding the bag felt very insignificant because it was so small...I took pics last month so you can see...some people thought it looked great, but it just didn't feel great.
I think carrying it handheld felt like the size of my coffee...
I decided to get the Artsy MM in monogram.
