In another thread I described my experience with the Capsule large satchel, the fact that it was made of a softer leather, unlike the original Paddy leather. I decided not to keep it for that reason. Well, I ordered online a Capsule in the "elephant" color sold at Bergdorf Goodman which I have not seen at NM or other stores. It arrived and is made of the same squishy, wonderful leather as the original Paddy which I am very pleased about. However....
- it has an indentation in the flap on the front,probably from the chain laying on it
- as I noted in the prior Capsule, the finishing of the many brass rivets in the bag which have leather around them is not as good as in the Paddys I have (less Quality Control?). Chloe should have cut the leather a bit more around
- the last thing I noted was that the front flap seems to be lopsided.
At any rate, I am exchanging it and noting the above for SAs to hopefully send me one that is in better shape.
But ladies, this Capsule, is the same size as the medium Paddy, and IMHO it's very elegant!!
So, maybe I will end up with a Capsule at last!
