As I close in on one (the great Artois-Anjou debate), I wonder if anyone’s ever been advised of maintenance/conditioning of the straps. I know my PM’s straps were, at first, a bit stiff on the shoulder at first. But given the propensity for cracking, I regret not treating them from the get go with Saphir; both the Creme de Soin and Renovateur were my go-tos on my soft calf Chanel, Gucci and LV Epi bags and shoes. Since my strap disaster with my PM (accidental slam in a car door; a crack became a split instantly), I want to me proactive with my next bag. I haven’t seen anything specific to this in the threads. Do you have a POV on this?The white is perfect, it's a year around white IMO.
My Anjou (same as St Louis but leather lined/reversible) has been carried daily since my bday in November and I'm finding her straps to have softened a bit
You should have no issues with the handles at all, as long as you don't over stuff it or weigh it down.
My sweet boutique manager explained to us thatGoyard did not design it to carry heavy items, like laptops
Enjoy, I want the Anjou in every color now!!
