Does anyone know which season this Pandora was from and if it's a limited edition? Found it on a website, only a tiny discount though. Very tempted but unsure if calf leather will be too easily scratched? Usually I prefer the goatskin. If anyone has seen it in person, comments appreciated!

I believe this is from the fall 2015 collection which had a variety of studded and embellished designs. I have the embellished one attached which is described as a grained calfskin, and if I didn't know any better I'd think it was goatskin at first glance (however it seems the grain on my black goat bag is a bit finer).

In any event, I've worn the grained calfskin small Pandora numerous times this winter in a variety of weather conditions (including rain and snow) and it still looks brand new! Hard to tell if your bag is grained...but if so, you shouldn't have any problems.

I should also mention that I got mine from Barneys at 60% off...so it's likely yours will go on sale for a bit more of a discount if you're in no hurry to purchase.

I have to second heytrubz here. The pandora is such an amazing bag . I remember I used to diss this handbag many years ago for its wacky, unconventional design . All that changed when I actually held the bag and wore it. Agreeably not the most breath-taking looking bag in the world, but the versatility, wearability and suave-ness factor ***** all that. I'm eyeing for a black one with gold hardware ( wish me luck ) now . My advise , go get one!

Hi there,

I would say definitely get the pandora! out of all my handbags this has to be my most fav bag. I sold the medium and just got a large pandora tote in black with silver hardware in the pepe today actually and I absolutely am in LOVE .. white its BIG .. its amazing! I know I will have this for a long time. The ease and comfort for cross body and shoulder is wonderful and so much room!

I purchased mine on farfetch and they even have a 10% discount on 1st order so saved myself $209 vs Barneys etc.

any petite ladies around 5 foot with the medium size? is it too overwhelming? i like the medium size better but i am so short, i'm afraid it would look too big on me.

I am 154-155cm which is around 5ft 1in-5ft 2in. I have the medium size and it is just on the border to too big. The long strap works perfect crossbody and the bag slouches nice. Very body friendly and comfortable.

Wow looking great! I am about 5"4 but thinking of small red instead. Afraid medium may look big on me. Too many bags too little moolah...lol

I would actually prefer the small one but bought this one to use when travelling with my little boy. And then I need extra space.

For daily use I use smaller bags :) So I am thinking of getting a small sized in goat, hopefully during a sale.

But I do think the medium size works for short people as well.

you look great! thanks for sharing :D

but i heard the small is pretty hard to get something out and in from the main compartment due to the handle and the strap is on the same hook (if you know what i mean)

does the handle kinda bother you when you're wearing it crossbody and wanting to open the zipper?

Yes, I can see that. Have been thinking about it a bit. I do think it is a strange solution (the old model wasn't like that). And I have been thinking if it is not really meant for crossbody use..?

With the medium there is no problem since the handle and strap are completely seperate. When I wear it crossbody I put the handle behond the bag towards my body, so you can't see it and it is not in the way when opening the zipper.

Haha, today my husband had to carry my bag for a while (Pandora medium black pepe) and when I came back to him he said "This bag is great on me" haha. It is a very unisex style and it is great that my husband can carry it comfortably :P

Love that your guy will carry your bag. My husband is cooperative but with less of a sense of humor. I'm grateful either way!

It is a great bag for guys, too, though.

He doesn't have much of a choice ;) and I have trained him for some years :P but yes, it is easier if it isn't too extreme and more unisex :P

Yes, have seen some guys wearing it in pics here at tPF and I think theyrock it! :D
