I have several Altos, I have five for everyday use and all other for special or dressy occasions. I would offer that you choose one for everyday first and watch how you use it. This can help you get use to the Alto.

I use my Ladies in the rain and I have never had a problem with my Altos. They can scratch!!! I had to learn how to avoid how I tote my ladies. Thats why I designated everyday bags.

I have two side stitch shoppers and I use them for school material and they get a lot of use and knocked around. They are in Great condition!

I hope this can help you!

Do you pretreat your Altos before you start carrying them? If so, what do you use?

Following up with the group. Are you finding your Alto's are scratching? Has anyone discovered a pretreatment to avoid this? I have an Alto I love but I'm scared to wear it for fear of scratches and am thinking of selling. Let me know, please. Thanks!!!

it does scratch, but honestly not too easily. I have a Gucci lady stirrup, and it is ridiculous how easy that scratches, and how well it shows, but Altos are nowhere near that sensitive. but please, do not pre-treat the Altos, also see All2Joy comments above. she answered this for another user not too long ago! :D

and don't be scurred. break those Altos out and show the world how beautiful they are!
