Just bought this one from Bloomingdales. Love the red color. I have always admired Bao Bao origami bags but never bought one because there are so many counterfeits or inspired ones out there. This one is special with a pop of bright contrasting color to make it stands out.
To tell from counterfeits. There is a tiny white tag inside the pocket sewn together with the label tag. The tag has a silver strip across.

Do any of you know if the bag is easy to maintain? The instruction from the company said "not to bend, avoid heat, easy to snag, with warranty only one year, avoid contact with printed material, easy to get color transfer"...
Please share your experience. Thanks.

Hi: You have an impressive collection. I just recently bought one. How is the maintenance? Is it prone to color transfer, curling of the PVC pieces? Anything you can share on the maintenance will be appreciated. Thanks.
i have three bao bao bags, all i bought well over a year a go. one is almost like my everyday bag and one i just use on weekends or special occasion. i never baby this bags and they didn't show that much wear and tear, i will try to post some pic later but i didn't do any protection on them and they still looks great, granted they're only two yeas - three years old..
Super easy to maintain. I've taken the bags on trips as my day/excursions bag, it's been my workhorse bag, etc. - no visible scuffs, no tears or anything! Surprisingly because I thought the mesh lining might be flimsy but it's surprisingly durable. It actually maintains well since it doesn't hold a specific shape, IMO; you don't have to worry about creases or cracks!
hi! I have a white Bao Bao bag and I was at first worried about the color—but it has become by number one go to everyday casual bag! I NEVER baby it, I take it everywhere and travel with it. Any spills wipe right off. I wear it with denim and have had no color transfer. It looks good with everything after a few years of frequent use. I’d say if you’re intrigued by the bag, go for it. It’s definitely been an unexpected highlight in my collection.
I cannot find the Auction Listings in the Purse Forum. How do I find it? Thanks.
Hi ladies. Can you help me? Did Miyake change the material and logo on the interior pocket from the ones in 2015 to the new ones? The current ones are made with checkered pattern (2nd pic). I have seen some on pre-loved market with plain black material and the logo is raised (1st photo)
I don’t know about the new ones cause i haven’t buy one for so long.. but my 2016 clutch still have the black leather with raised logo..
