Hi, wondering anyone here heard of or has one of these beauties.

I'm contemplating myself to get one, main concern is how its opening is. I'm worried that it will cause the bag worn out in just a few years, especially will it crease that easily on the flap with how it opens.

Please share your experience with this bag. What color is yours or your favourite. Do share pics wearing them if you don't mind.

Oh, and what's your view on this bag's resale/investment value might be in the future.

Cheers.

I just ordered a Karl 24 in ecru. I have been a longtime admirer of Boyy bags, but have never taken the plunge. I do think there is going to be significant creasing of the flap and have seen some pictures on the internet (even of new bags being sold) where it is somewhat apparent. Also just wondering if it's going to be incredibly annoying to open (though that hasn't stopped me from buying Celine belt bags).

I think the resale value is very low for these bags, so I do not expect mine to be an "investment" piece (in my mind, the only bags that can truly fetch more than what you paid are H and maybe Chanel these days). Not sure I'll keep it when it arrives, but with the lack of information out there, I need to see it in person to make a final decision! HeyChenny has some of the only English language videos on Boyy bags on Youtube, but she doesn't have the Karl. MelSoldera also reviewed a large Karl; you could probably message her about wear and tear.

I ended up returning the ecru color and of course, got a black one...There is definitely significant creasing at the hinge of the flap, which kind of drives me crazy, and the flap opening/closing mechanism is super annoying, but still love the look of the bag - classic shape with a unique twist.

what about the flap opening? im also wondering if its hard to get in and out of it as the flap is quite stiff according to others.
