Hi folks,
After many moons of searching I've decided the Bayswater is for me - simple, classic, big enough to carry my life in...
What I'm stuck on is the choice of colour/leather. I'm a classic girl really and think black should be the colour, as it's the most versatile and I'm not really into having loads of different bags. I've got a vintage tan satchel for casual/summer but I want a traditional handbag for everyday and office.
SO. Is the bayswater durable for every day?
In terms of the leather, I must say I find the classic NVT leather a bit matt for my taste - I prefer a smooth black leather. For this reason I'm quite tempted by the black patent. What do people think of the black patent? Too shiny? Too showy? Not right for every day? If it was wrinkled patent I think it would be perfect, but they are what they are...
I'm in the UK so need something that can withstand the weather. Can also go to the factory shop in Somerset and certainly plan to. Has there ever been a wrinkled patent black bays? Does the factory shop stock older ranges?
Sorry for all the questions! Would love to hear your opinions...
