If you treat your bags well and baby them when you carry them, the pepe textured lambskin will last forever. Ive had my first pepe for almost 8 years and ut looks brand new still. The goatskin is a diff look, so if thats what you like, go with that. The durability of the two leathers are less relevant if you are fastidious caretaker.
hmm... i do take care of my bags but i wouldn't say i baby them. i don't treat them with any products and i do place them on the floor in a movie theater for example. that's why i usually go for low maintenance bags (chanel caviar, LV mahina, etc). Would you still recommend the pepe?
Thank you very much for your input!
To qualify, I dont put any spray or protectant on my bags, but I do rotate them often. I dont put them on the floors of a movie theater, but I do put them on the floor of an airplane [emoji4].
Which leather look do you like better on the panda? If anything, there's a high likelihood that once you get one, you'll find out how versatile it is, and want the other leather! Go with the goat since thats what you originally was thinking...
My pleasure, please share your thoughts after comparing. Would love to know which one you fall in love with.
I went to the store today and completely fell in love with the pepe leather! Surprisingly, the pebbled leather had some scratches already and seemed more delicate.
Anyways, I'll be picking up the small pepe for sure - hopefully next month
Woohoo, cant wait to see when you bring her home. Isnt pepe a beaut? It goes so well with the unexpected shape.I went to the store today and completely fell in love with the pepe leather! Surprisingly, the pebbled leather had some scratches already and seemed more delicate.

I have read in some threads that ppl seem to experience fading in pepe, which hasn't happened to oldest one yet, but I dont use it exhaustively either. The texture allows for hiding minor scratches and stains imo, and if you get a darker color, it'll be even easier to maintain. A swipe of a good leather conditioner usually makes it better again.
Hey gals. I didn't want to start a new thread just for this Pandora question....
Am I crazy or is this the same bag (in black)? The style #s are completely different so I'm suspicious.

The only thing I can come up with is the description in the 1st link just says "black grained leather" and the 2nd link describes it as "black grained goatskin" ... so maybe it has to do with the leather, right? 1st is cow leather and 2nd is goat?
However, in the 1st link the grey and blue bags are labeled as goatskin so wouldn't they all be goatskin?
TIA for any input!

They're the same goatskin leather. Sometimes a previous seasons is kept unique from current. Usually because the designer made a tweak to something, or just wanted Bnys to catalog the new batch differently for whatever purpose.Hey gals.

Ahhh, I see. Thank you for the help!! Between the two, which would you buy? Should I close my eyes and point to one? Lol. Pictures say a lot and I like how rich and black the pics are in the 1st link. Nitpicking at this point. [emoji1]
I got the blue one from that same collection when it first came out and its divine, no issues so I'd recommend that batch. Only thing is the newer one seems to be 1 inch more in height, which not be a bad thing. After owning the med sz panda only, I'm kinda spoiled by the extra space. The small is great for errands tho.
I saw that size difference! Hmmmmm.....that's a tough one. I think I'm going to shell out for more space. My daily bag for years has been my Balenciaga Days and while I love the space, the weight is starting to take a toll on my shoulder. I've been wanting to downsize a little but I can still appreciate an inch more of space. Thanks again for the help chica!
PS: I love that blue color! I wish I could have jumped on that sale on Barneys. I'm sure yours is divine! [emoji7]
Givenchy has finally released a Men's Pandora. It's available now on SSENSE for $2,150 USD. The bag measures 15 x 9 x 7.5 inches, and the shoulder strap on this is thicker than the women's and adjustable. The top handle, however, is not designed for shoulder wear.
