the SA said that she liked the potiron better, it had more structure than the clemance, which is very squishy and falls in the bigger size. since she's worked with me before and i'm doing this sight unseen, is the gold similar to the potiron. she said it was more pumpkin colored.
Yes - there are pics of potiron in the reference thread under members' items... I would definitely say that potiron looks closer to orange in those pics.
Potiron is beautiful! But if Orange is not your color, then you would probably be better off with the Blue Jean Clemence. Both colors are tdf! But I personally would go with a 35cm. Good luck!
I have a 35 BJ Clemence and it doesn't flop over - it stands upright, but the overall look is still casual. I personally love the slouchiness in this bag since the color lends itself to a more fun look, but it's an individual preference. I'd go for that one in a heartbeat though - it's one of my favorite bags.
