Henri Bendel Bags Anyone?

My concerns exactly!!!
One more Q then- I've always had difficulty CLEANING my iridescent bags- what do you use/how do you keep them clean? I'm terrified of color transfer on this, as ALL my iridescent whites look 'dirty' now, despite my best efforts and clean-freaking... :sad:

Esp. since it's a crossbody! I so wish this were a standard 'satchel'...
I haven't had any issues but I switch my bags almost daily so maybe I'm not getting the normal wear and tear.

I love the Gotham Tote, both large and small, and was sad to see them discontinued! The Petrol is so pretty on that model too. I prefer the "caviar-ish" bumps on the Gotham over the Houston Satchel; the texture feels totally different.
 
Do you notice a big weight difference when wearing it compared to the Jetsetter backpack? I need to be careful of weight of bags..shoulder [emoji57]

There is a weight difference (Jetsetter weighs less then the Rivington) but I don’t know that I find it to be a huge difference. I have sensitive neck/shoulders (injuries from repeated lifting) & I’m not sure if it’s how the handles are situated but I find both very comfortable.

Aaargh:
FYI there's a 20% off weekend sale online.
They're actually making me RETURN and REPURCHASE the bag I JUST bought... :hrmm:

I read that you purchased the iridescent mini 57th and was looking forward to your reveal! or even just your thoughts or review on it. Is this the bag you're referring to or did you score something else? :graucho:

I wish this thread moved more because I love seeing/reading about Bendel bags. Their stock photos aren't very helpful so real/action photos are what usually pushes me into making the purchase. (Don't know if that's a good or bad thing lol.)

ATM I'm having to turn my original bc they wouldn't do a price adjustment, aaaargh!!! D
So after I get past that, I'm considering a monogram. Which means I'm sitting on it for now- will post soon!!! :nuts:

It's beautiful, but I'm not sold on the weird opening. Nervous about the zipper and small-ish interior.
