Woot! The forest green/navy color for the Madeleine Petit must be so pretty! :smile1:

I'm about the same height as you and the Madeleine Petit is the perfect size for me too. It's not too big and it's roomy enough to carry a lot of things. I like the fact that there is a handle drop as well as the adjustable shoulder strap option.

Most of my daily items such as keys, a wallet, a small daily planner, cosmetics in a small case, a phone, and my kindle all fit inside nicely. I have received so many compliments from others for the kelly green one and it is a great highlight for my wardrobe. I hope Clare V. keeps bringing in new colors for the Madeleine Petit; I think I would like to own in all different colors. :D
Would love to see pictures of the Madeleine! I'm debating buying one. Two questions:

1. About how much does it weigh?
2. Would the Petit fit an iPad?

Thanks!
 
she uses Italian leathers but made in USA.....the quality isv good, styling is great. Simple, clean - color range excellent. Its not a hearty bag for someone who wants to carry a ton of stuff....but great for casual use - for a number of seasons they will hold....she has a great eye and clearly has hit a chord with many women. updated modern classics....it's a good mission for bags.
 
I recently purchased Clare Vivier's Madeleine Petit in lovely green color and I really have enjoyed it. However, this morning when I was taking off from bus, I realized that a nail-like part in one of the D-rings (sorry for not knowing the exact terminology) fell off and I couldn't find it anywhere. :-(

Has anyone had any similar experience and do you think if Clare Vivier customer service would be able to fix it? I'm going to send an email to them anyway, but wasn't sure how they would be able to resolve an issue like that. Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks!

I recently contacted CV with issues with the handles on my Messenger. They were excellent!! They fixed the handles and when they shipped it back even included a dust bag.

Hi, does anyone have a recommendation on how to clean and protect the nubuck leather? I'm specifically referring to the messenger bag style. I gifted a red one to a girlfriend and even through she's been very good about not putting it on the floor or anywhere dirty, it still picked up some dirt. Thanks!
 
Clare V. is having an online sample sale today on small duffles and large duffles only. It's accessible through a link on Instagram on the shopclarev profile page. Prices for the small duffles appear to be $140-165!

I have that bag as well and it got terribly dirty very quickly. Suggestions would be great!
 
I just received the black fold over clutch and can't send it back quickly enough... what an uninspired, blah little thing it is.

Sorry to hear. I was going to purchase one of her clutches but came across the American Apparel version instead - http://store.americanapparel.net/large-leather-carry-all-pouch_rsalh500l and the medium size http://store.americanapparel.net/medium-leather-carry-all-pouch_rsalh500m. Much lower in price! I found one on Ebay in the large size and I LOVE it.

Shopping for the leather clutches are really tough, because it really depends on what type of leather was used. It's one of the rare times I rather shop in store (unless I'm 100% sure of what I see online and there are tons of close up pics). There aren't too many low maintenance leather clutches.
