Drifter wear and tear.

[LVforValentine]

Hi ladies, I've been looking at the drifter for almost a year now and it doesn't seem like the love affair is going away any time soon. I was just wondering if anyone who's owned this bag and used it regularly could let me know how the suede panels on the sides are holding up. That's really been the only thing holding me back. I'm just worried about it showing wear, especially where the side bends into the bag. Any help is appreciated!

Mine is in the all black with the mate black hardware since the first launch and she has held up just fine. I used her for a month sold when I first got her, but as of now I use her maybe once a week. So I'm not using her like crazy for the past year. However, she till looks brand new! The sides are like untouched. No wear or tear, nothing stuck in her, no water marks, and no suede coming off. The side are still soft and in grate shape in terms of structure. I will say that mine has gotten softer, and slightly sagged because the bag is leather lined. But I say get the bag! Good investment bag in the solids(or of the movement with the exotics or embellished). The handful of times I've used her was for evening functions the had me to go directly from work. Hopes this helps!

Thanks for the reply! I'm looking at the all black and I've had suede bags in the past that developed worn/shiny patches on the suede after time while is my biggest worry with the drifter. Since I doubt I'll use it more than a few times a month that definitely puts my mind at ease. Thanks again for the help!
