I liked the collection and I bought both baggy PM & speedy in pink denim. I was so obsessed .... But for some reason, I didn't keep them too long and I ended up with mini pleaty in blue denim. My mom liked it and bought one as well....she used hers once and gave it to me. So I have two of mini pleaties and I never ever use them.....still sitting in my closet.
What turned me off was seeing other gals "dirty" denim bags and there were lots of fakes came out at the same time the collection was popular back in 2005 ish?! I was afraid mine would be dirty with wear, bottom line, it's fabric.
Denim itself is very soft and very well made. I joined 40's club this year too - you don't see them being carried too often anymore and I still think it's a cool looking bag! Good luck on your decision!
