Dear all, after defending my PhD thesis last week (yes, another Dr on the forum ) and waiting for the new amarante pieces to arrive, today was the day! The SAs weren't even unpacking them yet but I got to see everything After about an hour or so I decided on the inclusion bracelet (the PM, not the tiny one) and the Porte-Monnaie Billets Viennois My most expensive but also probably my chic-est accessory apart from bags ever !
Some other, many of you probably know already but here goes:
- there are several batches of amarante vernis, I saw very dark, almost black amarante and lighter maroon-purple amarante (noticeably lighter, independet of lighting), it's a difference in color production (an accidental variation), so choose which you like best (I went with the dark)
- there seem to be some quality issues - the inclusion bracelet had a fault, there was a white streak on the inside where color was missing, but I noticed it and exchanged it (phew), and some wallets weren't finished as smoothly on the edges as they were before
- the fingerprints are much worse than they were with pomme but you get an extra cloth for that (lol)
- the store did have many "cloud-bags" left, they aren't that popular here
- I saw miroir sneakers in gold, but they seemed a little "loud" to me
Pics to follow in a few minutes!
