So how is everyone’s 22 holding up? I bought mine because I absolutely adore the ‘everyday’ style and practicality volume-wise. I did do extensive research and watched all the horror stories of peeling, but the desire to own one convinced me that ‘I’m not going to have one of the defective ones’ and ‘I’ll be careful not to overload the bag and use both shoulder straps’. Alas, after around 5 uses of my beautiful bag, I can see peeling/rubbing of the leather within all four strap loops :’(

I won’t be returning because I still adore this bag and will continue to use it now that it’s quite literally broken into…!

Wow I can't believe your bag wears away this fast. I'm so sorry :sad: I have mine from last fall and *knock on wood* the loops are still fine. I do wear mine every chance I get and the only wear I noticed was a tiny rub on one corner at the bottom because it is a bigger bag and tends to rub on surfaces when I carry it to places. Is your bag made of shiny calf or regular calf? I heard that shiny calf tends to break more often than regular calf.

Oh no, that’s too bad to hear. I was at the Rue Cambon store yesterday and saw a beautiful navy blue in the larger size. I like the bag, but don’t love it, so decided to pass- especially at the 5650 (if I remember correctly) euro price tag. However today, I saw a girl walking in front of me with the black one and loved how effortless it looked.

Quick question: how do you all store your 22? Is it better to stuff it with anything like a bag pillow or leave it empty? I have a random organizer from a different bag that I left in it, and noticed it left a faint mark where the edge of the organizer is. Anyone using an organizer experienced the same issue?

I stuff with some Sealed Air bubbles inside and lay the bag flat and in a dust bag.

Any recommendations for an organizer? I saw the ones from Samorga and Zoomoni, but wonder if the felt would be too stiff. I saw a silk one from Ztujo and curious if anyone has it and could share their experience.

I have one from Samorga. I really like it. It keeps the inside of my bag clean and gives it some structure at the bottom. However, the organier only covers the bottom half the bag, so you might want to stuff the top half of the bag with some tissue paper to make sure it the top half doesn't crease when you store it.

Thanks. I noticed the crease on mine, but am not sure if it was from this other organizer I have or from where the inside fabric stops toward the middle of the bag. Hopeful it goes away…
