I just looked at 2 different size 22 bags and both had rubbed color on a couple of the corners even though both bags were fresh from the stockroom and still completely wrapped up the way they arrived!! Can anyone check their 22 bags to see how the corners look? They are sewn in and the it seem like the sharp folded corners cause the dye/paint to come off? I’m not sure how this bag will wear if the corners already look like that! The bags I saw were white.

I bought a black medium 22 last week and have been wearing it constantly since. I don’t baby my bags and have been throwing it around. I just checked my corners and I don’t see any wear yet. Still looks new! I feel that the leather and corner is too soft for it to really bump and scuff, but time will tell.

I have this issue too, and it seemed to stay on when I tried it. But sadly, it overwhelmed me (I’m short 5’2“ , medium build, not petite. The chanel wicker bag was also too big. Neither my SA nor my DH liked it either. Very sad, because I love the idea and the look on other people. BTW, I do wear other larger bags like the Victoria 35; the kelly sellier 32; 35 Trim II; and a BV TM hobo, so I was surprised that the 22 did not work. (Pics below of the 22; the wicker bag; and the other bags for comparison). My only thought might be that the other large bags I wear have either more structure or more texture and closer body drape, all of which somehow work better on my build.

my SA told me that it’s her understanding that the 22 will be repeated in future seasons

I think the 22 looks ok on you. But it's also the mood of the bag. The 22 is a super casual bag that don't go well with corporate/professional look/vibe. It gives off beach vibe or extra relaxing day off mood. Same as that wicked bag. But the wicker bag doesn't look good on you. I actually love the BV and Jackie O on you. You rock them well.

I personally think it's ugly when it came out, but it's now a rage in my country and is practically sold out. I think people are crazy, but after a while I think I get carry on and almost bought it, too. Ugh! It's still ugly and is a sack. Without a Chanel tag, the chain, and all those leather, I wouldn't even thinking about buying it. I think I'm very shallow ATM. All the comments here take me back to the ground again. And yeah... I still don't like it, although some girls out there wear it so well.

Also, I think this is the sign that say big bags are coming back. Perhaps it's time for me to bring those jumbos out, which I'm super glad.

The look of the bag, it has to be low-maintenance, carefree, ready to be heavy duty, like holding up beach towels, gym clothes and shoes. But because it's made in such beautiful leather and because of its price, I won't feel comfortable doing that...I don't like the proportion of the large. Love the look of white small and purple medium though!

I agree with about how it looks on a petite size with a hip length jacket. I think it would look better with a waist length jacket on a petit frame, and I think it would work with the other outfits that were posted :)

I thought it was a big no no when first saw it, but than I got used to see it and it looks an easy tote… so now I am debating on the white with gold logo or white with black logo…

Hi to the ladies who own the bag. I love it and want one in medium!
Can anyone tell me if the straps make it uncomfortable when you carry many things in the bag? I will be carrying snacks and kids drink bottles in it so am concerned the chain strap would be uncomfortable… any thoughts on this would be appreciated!

I really disliked it at first, but it's growing on me. Need to wait until I actually saw the bag in person before I form any solid opinion though.

Still, I was really surprised at how popular it is. It doesn't have the 'it bag' look for me.

I haven’t put bottles in it - just a regular amount of stuff- and I’ve found the straps to be surprisingly comfortable.
