Dazzling December beauties 2023 post here

The bag is pristine and much smooshier than the initial bag. The only thing I could note is that the embossing is noticeably deeper on the bottom than on the flap. Would this bother you? Sorry if I am driving you all crazy. But I do not purchase frequently and when I do I totally over think it...

Yeah that might bother me, if it shows difference already, the inconsistency will be greater after use

It looks perfectly fine. Very few Empreinte bags are made from a single hide of leather, and each of those seems to have a a slightly different depth after getting embossed. Also if your bag is smooshy, you are lucky, stiff Empreinte drives me mad (although this is a personal preference, but for a leather that mimics natural grain (unlike Épi) it is a little unnatural not to be soft as natural leather).
There is a finite number of bags that the store will order for you, and the chances that the next one will have more noticeable issues is high.

Had to return mine but already ordered a replacement.. Classic Speedy 25 with a deep crease on the side

Treated myself to this little cutie the other day. The perfect bag in my opinion. Holds my essentials plus a little bit more. Have used in the rain already without concern. Absolutely love it ❤️ I have currently swapped the “guitar” strap for the Alma bb strap. I will use the “guitar” strap, but for now the leather one is a little more carefree.

Oh so they are still doing the classic DE speedy. I thought they were discontinued as not showing online as available! Shame yours is creased, hope the next one is better.

Thanks Donna! The denim collection looks fab, can’t wait to see what you get. The only item that catches my eye is the key pouch but then I have one already and it doesn’t get much use so not sure if I should get another one hehe I’ve also been thinking abt the nano alma in fuchsia so will have to find some time to pop into store to check it out and see how nano it is lol. Keep us posted on what you order.

Yep I have pre ordered the denim key pouch as I think that will sell out quite quickly, you have great taste! But fair enough if you don't use them a ton. I tend to use mine as bag charms as well, so I can get my cost per wear up of using them lol That Alma sounds so good, keep me posted on how you go and I am pretty sure the denim bumbag is calling my name and I promise I'll let you know what I end up deciding on @Bumbles and have a great weekend x

Love how warm and soft these wool scarves are. I prefer the men's scarves, as the women's are more like shawls. Plus I love the neutral color. I was going to get black, but opted for the charcoal instead.

Petit noe, 2013 model. Wanted a bucket bag for a while and is my first epi piece. I believe the colour is mandarin? If someone could clarify? Now waiting for a bag insert to protect the inside of the bag.

It looks lovely. Isn't it the regular Coquelicot colour?

Nope, coquelicot (= poppy) is red with orange undertone. This color is called piment. It is a bright, true orange color.

Mandarin was way lighter tone of orange, close to darker yellow with orange undertone. As I mentioned in other posts, I believe this color is called piment. It is a bright, true orange color.

Yes, you are right. The lighting in the pic mislead me, but it is Piment indeed. Such a classic colour.

Ah... I was going to suggest Piment (I have a wallet in this color), but the color in this pic did look more red. It is beautiful, indeed!

Right? Indoor lighting can be tricky.
I envy you both, this is such a classic, lovely colour.

No worries ladies, I have Noe NM in this color, so I can recognize it from miles away I believe Noe in coquelicot was never made, only almas, accessories and maybe some other bags.
