I told myself I did NOT need it. I reminded myself that I already have the classic Speedy 30 in DE. But I kept wanting this! When I tried it on in the store, I decided to bring it home before another price increase makes it really difficult to add to my collection! :smile: Totally justified, right?!? Haha.

Lovely!! Of course it’s justified if it kept being on your mind. And none of us have ever had the experience of bringing home we thought we “shouldn’t” :P glad you found it and before yet another PI!
 
Sharing my July purchases - Noe BB Mono and Alma BB Epi Noir :smile:
Though it was a somewhat bitter sweet experience (had to surrender my recently purchased bi-colour Pochette Metis due to paint chipping :crybaby:), I am quite pleased with my new pieces.
I already have Noe BB DA and Alma BB DE in my collection, so I know I am going to love these as well :heart:

What a great pair to add to your collection. Sorry to hear abt your pm, how long had you had it for? I’m planning to get a mono Métis or alma bb soon. Would you say one is better than the other? Which do you prefer?

Thank you!
I got my bi-colour (black and cream) Métis back in November but didn’t start using it till late April. The “hand painted” cream flowers started chipping at the corner of the bag within a month and unfortunately ,based on some threads here , it looks like I am not the only one. The worst part is the bi-colour Métis was a replacement for my reverse Métis that I had to surrender due to canvas cracking. Luckily I still have my Empriente Métis in Noir - I have had and used it for about 3 yrs now and it’s still perfect.
Since I love both Métis and Alma BB it’s a hard choice. I have decided to stay away from canvas Métis totally based on my personal experience in order to avoid potential cracking that ,according to my local boutique’s manager, is inevitable due to nature (structure) of the bag. Alma BB is great, though keep in mind it has a slightly smaller capacity, but as long as it fits your needs size-wise - it’s a beautiful classic.
Good luck deciding :yes:

Congrats to you both! That purple is absolutely gorgeous! I’m twins on the all leather one, I love it amd it is a perfect little wallet, it fits nicely in smaller bags. Hope you both enjoy!
Thank you! Couldn‘t stop admiring and smelling it today, it‘s perfect :love:! I noticed my (few) cards cause some dents though, a bit worried about that…
