Thanks papertiger! It was very warm this past week in southern California, so I thought I'd put together a light suit with the purse! So, so glad you posted your picture, it motivated me, and voila, the photo!
Sorry for the delay, I couldn't find the camera! I got so many compliments on the purse! I also have kept it out of its dustcover for now, so I'll use it again this week, before putting it back in its dustcover
I have an Ivory Christian Dior Jeanne which has not seen the light of day since I bought it. I take it out periodically to admire it and put it back. Plus, my life as a toddler's mom makes me even more nervous about using it.
oh my...i feel so guilty! am i allowed in this support group even if i use my ivory muse quite often - and at a tropical country at that! - i figured, i paid good money for it, so why not maximize it just made sure i coated it with stain/rain repellent and i clean it every after prolonged use...so far, it still looks clean, not as spotless as brand new but looks well-loved
Of course you can join annajanina, the more members the more marbella and the rest of us will be encouraged.
I have to admit my Ivory Mjrll is the ONLY leather (as opposed to suede or canvas) bag I have ever sprayed. There was a very slight scratch in the leather even before it left the store (last one left in Ivory) and the SA told me if the bag gets dirty to clean with a tiny amount of soapless soap on damp cloth and then go over with another clean damp cloth staight after and then a dry cloth and then feed with clear leather cream and to 'paint' the scratch with milk? I haven't reached that point yet, I think the main thing it to spot clean before the dirt 'sets'. I never put it down on the floor (there are some bags I don't mind).
Well loved and used is better than spotless and never carried
annajanina- we would love for you to join us, as papertiger mentioned! It's great to know others who use theirs all the time, so we can start carrying ours more & more often!
annajanina Hey you! Ive seen your pics with your Muse and you look smashing as always!!
hi all!! Ive decided to venture away from my beloved Chanels and get my very first YSL bag, an off-white Rive Gauche! Eagerly waiting for it to get delivered , woohoo!
i was paranoid about the issue of color transfer, but after reading through all these posts, it's true-- why spend so much money on a bag, love it, but not use it?!
So as soon as I get that baby I'm dousing it with stain and rain repellent, and im gonna take it for a spin
