black in pepe


i personally leaning towards more on the black pepe but i heard the pepe leather fades and scratches easily... and i am planning to use it as my work and travel bag. is the goatskin substantially heavier than pepe? TIA!

Of these two, my vote's for black pepe. Even tho you're generally better off with the goat for wear and tear....not crazy about the blue.

Not a fan of either....don't like the blue color of the goat one and donät like the pepe leather.

I have a medium one in pepe - wouldn't buy it again now that I know how sensitive the pepe is. If I could choose I would get one in black goat.

how's the wear and tear in your pepe? does it have a lot of scratches?

Not scratches, but wouldn't be too surprised if they show up. Only used it 5-8 times and I have wear where the bag hits my body when worn crossbody. The pepe leather is a bit uneven and the higher parts gets worn as well as corners. Does look like there could be holes eventually and I am not so happy about that. But time will tell. I can't stop using it due to this and I rather use it myself than sell if at a loss. If there goes holes in the leather I will find someone good at leather fixing and not care about that it is patched. I am disappointed by the pepe leather as I heard so many recommend it for the durability and directly when I got it I noticed it was thin and not durable.

So, I would buy a black goat Pandora if I were you. The style is just great and very comfortable. I love it!

I was deciding between the black and anthracite Pepe. I ordered both since I don't have a retailer anywhere close to see them in person. I was amazed in the difference in leather quality between the two bags. Wonder if it is hit or miss depending on the bag? The anthracite was so thin and had a papery feel. The black was completely opposite, very sturdy and quite heavier.

My pepe doesn't feel papery, it is very soft and nice :) but thin and a little bit fragile hehe.

I do like the anthracite, choose the one with thickest leather if you go pepe. But do remember it is lamb and lamb is always a bit fragile. But also lovely due to softness :)

seems like the anthracite colour have thinner leather, it looks lovely though!
 
Hi,
I am so interested in this bag it sounds amazing. Does anyone know, is the ghw only available with the Pepe leather? This season, it seems as though none of the color ways have gold hardware.
Thanks for any insight!

AFAIK, the gold hardware only comes in the pepe leather.


I have seen goat with GHW at Mytheresa. But no Pepe with GHW this season.

I bought one pepe with GHW from Farfetch and got SHW. Not so fun but I didn't have any energy to return it so I have a pepe with SHW...I actually did a lot of research and found out thag GHW was last season so I was so happy when I found it at farfetch haha but no, the description was wrong.

Oh that's a bummer! I don't know if I would have returned either. It will be hard to wait to see what they have next season.

BTW, what does AFAIK mean?
