Camel Coussin PM from my recent trip to Hawaii I’ve loved this bag since it’s launch and this color fills a gap in my collection perfectly!

I finally caved and purchased this classic. Happy early Valentine's Day to me When I first saw her in store it was not love at first site.... but then I kept thinking about it for like 2 months as I wanted to make sure this wasn't a FOMO situation. Can't wait to pair her with my Japan mini

The alignment on the bottom is off but I'm fine with it. Otherwise the flowers will not be centered on the bottom. Super happy (and lucky?) that my mini pochettes are also MIF along with the mono strap. Thanks for letting me share this obsession!

You could totally do a DIY MPA with your pochettes!! You already have a strap ready!!

I don’t deny it’s the strap that won me over. My SA offer me the khaki strap a month back but I rejected him. I’m just a little cautious now, will it get dirty easily? It’s like my first light-colored item in my entire bag collection.

No, it doesn’t get dirty easily. I‘ve worn my MPA pink strap with the MPA and other bags and it still looks brand new over a year later. I would guess there is something inherent to the canvas or thread that helps it not attract dirt. HTH! It’s a fun and beautiful and useful bag. I often use the pouches separately and the RCP easily holds my air pods pro. I find if I don’t put the AirPods in an LV case of course case that I drop the AirPods and they open and fly across the room. Congrats on your new bag.

PS if you stuff your pouches with something like a hand towel and leave it is can straighten the pouches a bit at the bottom.

Yes! Around March, they release new colors for the Taigarama series. I started with the bright bleu and orange back in 2020. Missed out on the yellow in 2019. Got the fuchsia last year. I think the cobalt blue and black are the perm colors, they have been consistent on restocking those and seen them in the boutiques. I could be wrong too, *shrugs*.

Can't wait to see the silver and coral red next month.

Gorgeous bag !!! Mahina leather is so beautiful

Thank you! It really is! I’ve never owned anything in mahina before and was pleasantly surprised how nice the leather is and feel that it deserve more attention.

I hope so too! I would love a green.

My new to me multicolor cosmetic pouch from a Japanese reseller via eBay. My second purchase from Japan, this transaction was such a breeze.View attachment 5322564

Hello, just curious about customs/duties tax when buying from Japan. I have a few things I'd like to purchase but am nervous as several reviews mention being hit with a huge bill later on

I have decided it’s too beautiful to return. There was a slight zip “flaw” as it was hard to open after zipping it all the way to the end when closed. From what I read, either I keep zipping (using) it to season the zip or use wax paper, wax candle, graphite/pencil to smoothen it.
So I tried zipping it open and close multiple times to season it. It became better. I inspected closely, alignments, pipings, everything seems in place. Those I prefer it more flushed and not sagged at the bottom, but it’s common for pochettes to sag. I decided to keep it. It will be good to see if there’s any PI for it on 15 Feb.

I can really only fit the essentials of essentials in this MPA. Not sure if lust (for the MPA) over last (usability) works.

Congrats on getting this with the rose clair strap! It’s such a beautiful colour.
I have the Multi Pochette in Empreinte and even though I use it with Samorga inserts I think it holds quite a lot and is a practical bag
