My SA told me the sequin courier bags are not meant to be everyday bags. As someone mentioned earlier in the thread, each leather sequin is only held by one thread, so you definitely need to be more careful with it.
I'll probably still wear mine casually..dont know about every day for like a month though.

I rarely wear any of my bags for more than 1 day at a time. I'm pushing 90+ once I count in all brands so everything still looks pretty much brand new. The sequins above the zipper on the back scare me though. Depending on how the bag sits on me I could see them rubbing or snagging immediately. This collection never made it to my local boutique so I have never been able to try it out. I ended up ordering it plus the 30 wristlet last night. At 40% off I couldn't pass up at least trying it out. If it's far too delicate I'm hoping to at least keep the wristlet.

I look forward to your pics; they just look like such pretty bags. As you said, at 40% might as well order and see in person (I assume you are in U.S. so get free shipping/returns too so that helps!).

Yup, U.S. so super easy to just ship back. I talked myself out of this collection 1,000 times but I never dreamed I could get 40% off. I just hope my items come in great condition, since it's been out awhile I'm afraid I will be sent store models because stock might be limited. I've been trying to be good and only buy bags I can use and not be afraid of like my rogues and rogue satchels but I just can't get these sequins out of my mind!

I bought the black wristlet as soon as I received the F&F discount. I too was afraid of some of the sequins at the edges and the corners as I could see them getting snagged so I used a dabble of leather glue to glue those sequins down so they wouldn't flare up and get snagged. I only used it on the sequins I could see flipping up which was about 6 total. It didn't change the look at all and you can never tell it's glued down. I've used it casually around town and have had no issues. It is a piece of art!

Doesn't hurt to see in person, and yeah the 40% made me pull the plug on purchasing these bags as well. What color did you order? There was the chalk version that didn't have sequins so less maintenance.

My new Rodarte collection. I tried several turnlock wristlets 21, but they are too small for me, so I'm returning them. I prefer turnlock wristlet 30. I want the black turnlock wristlet 30 with sequins, but I think I have enough. Plus, I have the NASA/Space turnlock wristlet 30 with space patches. Wristlet are great for running errands, daytime events or nights out.

Also, waiting for the black tote to be delivered to my boutique tomorrow, but will not be able to pick it up until over the weekend. I'll post pictures as soon as I get it home.

My sequins courier and wristlet 30 came today and I think I'm disappointed. I guess I didn't quite understand how they were made. I thought the leather sequins were more like the leather on the metallic swagger, borough, phoebe for example. They actually are just leather with a crinkly metallic foil placed on top of the leather. Even though both my pieces were factory wrapped some of the foiling has already lifted off of the little round pieces of leather. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this clearly so I will try and take pics tonight or tomorrow.
