Hi everyone! I have been looking for a k32 - would function as a workhorse and for travel when I need to take more than just wallet and phone around .. SA informed me of a Craie Togo K32 that came in and while I know I will love the bag I am nervous for it to get dirty quickly —we have 3 kids we are traveling with. I also have a c18 in epsom in nata and have had no issues w color transfer and getting it dirty but am concerned it could be more of an issue w a larger bag. Does anyone have this bag? Am I being too paranoid ?

I know that @carlinha has this exact bag. Maybe she can chime in but from speaking with her recently her bag after several years looks brand new. I think the thing to watch out for is jeans and dark bottoms.

Can’t wait to see what you decide.

yes!

nonetheless it is prudent to be cautious
use your experience with your C18 to help you decide
you are clearly happy with a pale bag
as you know, just make sure that your other clothes are colourfast - don't blame the bag
 
Hiiii yes I have this exact bag and she is 8 years old, got her in 2015, and have used her traveling to Europe, NYC, etc. She's in pristine condition, although to be completely transparent, I rotate through many bags so I haven't used her as a daily workhorse, and I don't wear with dark jeans. I have worn with black dress and it's been fine, again just make sure it's colorfast!

Last pic is the most recent pic I took of her last year with Nata gator CDC, to show her condition! Love her soooo much.

Gorgeous @carlinha ! Thank you for your post ! Bag is gorgeous and to be said I don’t have a ton of jeans .. but I’m paranoid. But I love the crisp look of this bag and literally can be worn w anything - with and without any embellishment ! Love your looks

I think you should get it and enjoy! The spa can usually clean it up if needed. Because you will love the bag, you will also take care of it. I won't worry about a mark or two. I have a craie sellier K28 and a B25 togo craie. They are gorgeous and amazing, and still look beautiful even with some minor signs of wear.
