Hi, everyone. I am a new member. Sorry to resurrect an old post!
I've been eyeing a small Emile in black with rose hardware. I'll be in NYC on monday so can take a closer look at it to see if I like it.
That being said, the bag has been out for a few years now and I was wondering if anybody could comment on how your Emile has held up in terms of durability since you've bought it. Still good as new? Any issues? Also, I've noticed that the AW forum is mostly about the Rocco and what not and there hasn't been discussion about the Emile in a while. Do you think that the Emile is/was too trendy and looks dated now? I am looking for classic, but like the Emile because it looks like classic with an edge.
This will be my first nice handbag purchase ever and I'm feeling a little nervous. I would like to use this bag for at least five years or so without looking too dated. I'm also considering the black mulberry bayswater satchel in black (I know, two totally different bags!).
I plan on using either bag for going out with friends or out and about. Not for work at all.
Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!!!
