Bigger-ish bag corners drooping over metal feet or curled/warped base

[missD]

Hi all!

See how the corners droop down and the bag’s pretty much sitting on the leather instead of the feet?

Or, the base panel has “curled” and the corners do the above.

How does one prevent this from happening on softer leathers on larger bags? Is there a particular base shaper that works best?

Or is this just the charm of a softer puddled bag?

Keep it stuffed, belted, stored on its side. (Though keep checking that the inner pocket imprint doesn’t show through which I’ve read can happen if your stuffing pushes against the interior walls). Some larger bag made of heavier leather, such as clemence, will slouch. Even a smaller bag will. That’s part of its organic nature. If you prefer no slouch, go for structured styles like sellier and leathers like epsom

Your last question is the answer IMO!
