So cute! Are yellow Panda bags rare? They don't pop up much online. Is it safe to say that this is the only shade of yellow for Panda bags? It's citrus lemon yellow, isn't it?
Hello everyone! I hope you can help me with some few questions.
First my story: I have been interested and obssessed with the pandora ever since I held one on a local store a few weeks ago.I didn't get it because I'm on a ban and my DH was looking at me with eyes saying, "Are you nuts? I just gave you a bag," Anyway, I have moved on and settled with my new lovely structured bag. But after a week of use, I was unhappy. It was heavy, the strap was digging on my shoulder, and it's hard to open. My thoughts came back to the pandora and I started reading on this nice thread. Ofcourse after reading your wonderful experiences with the bag, now I am just a few steps away from purchasing one. My questions are (I'm not sure if these were answered before):
1. Is it still comfortable after wearing/using it for a day or at work?
2. For those who had it for years, how is it holding up?
3. Sheepskin or goatskin?
Sorry for such a lenghty story. Thank you so much in advance. Have a great day!

1. It's very comfortable after using it for a whole day. I have 2 large Pandas and I even use them during my travels or vacations. The shoulder handle and messenger strap allow you to use them in 4 ways (on the shoulder using either the shoulder handle or messenger strap, crossbody using the messenger strap, handheld using shoulder handle, or crook of the arm using the shoulder handle) so it's very easy to adjust to a comfortable position as the day progresses.
2. I've had my black Panda since Jan. 2012 and despite being used on a daily basis, the bag still looks great, and the leather has become softer. I also have a pre-loved brown Panda from 2010 that I got this year and despite its age, it still looks good as new. I don't baby my Pandas at all (I've been caught under light rain yet bags weren't affected).
3. Depends on your preference. Both are sturdy leather so it comes down to what kind of hardware do you prefer. Sheepskin (pepe or wrinkled leather) usually is paired with gold while goatskin is paired with silver. I personally like goatskin become it goes with every occasion.
Sorry for the long response! Hope that helped

You made me love the pandora more. I love how you describe your personal experience as well. Now, it'll only be a matter of time for me to decide which color and leather. Thank you for being such a great help mmmilkman.

What colors are your pandoras? And may I know your height? How do you feel about the length of the cross-body strap? I feel like I need to tie it to shorten it (I'm pretty short). Even the mini pandora seems long for me.
My large pandas are black and the other is a distressed brown. I'm a 5'9 guy so the bag is just at a right height when worn cross-body. I can still pull off a medium panda using the cross-body strap, but it really depends on your preference because I don't like my bags hanging too low. I think the mini panda is just at the right height although an inch longer with the strap wouldn't hurt.

I love my Pandora!
I've used it for work almost everyday for almost 5 months not and it looks brand new. The only thing I didn't like was when I had my lunch on it and the bag would tilt my lunch container. However that was resolved with triple bagging my lunch!
I am nervous about bringing her abroad though because I like to stay in hostels if I travel alone.
Has anyone had any experiences with their bags in hostels?
Thank you for your reply Anithic! I really appreciate it. I'm super excited to get myself a Pandora. Hopefully I can get one soon as I am still deciding what color and leather, lol.
My cousin brought hers abroad but not sure if she stayed at a hostel.Hi! Just saw this now and we have the same problem. Got mine last month. it annoys me that the hardware doesnt match with the zipper inside.
Hi! Any idea on how to shorten the strap of the mini pandora? Or where can i have it shorten? It's way too long for me even if i put the hole on the shortest knob. I'm 5'0 and the bag falls lower than my butt.
Hi. I own 2 small Pandoras and I got both straps shortened at my local shoe repair shop. Although not as beautifully done as the original, the sewing and glueing was good enough, plus no one ever notices! I'm happy!
They basically cut the straps at an angle and glue together before sewing.
( I'm sorry I don't know how to post pics )
Hi there! May I ask if I should spray my Pandora mini box in mirrored leather with Apple Garde rain and stain repellent? Or does it not need it since it's a different type of leather? Please help! Thanks!

Your leather is already heavily coated. I would imagine any kind of spray would just drip and run off the surface. If my bag had that kind of finish, I would just leave it, just as I would likely leave patent alone.
You may want to test your bag's surface, for curiosity. Just flick some water from your fingertips and see what happens. I would suspect the only way water would truly penetrate your kind of bag is through seams or crevices...that would be a vulnerability for virtually any bag.
