Hey guys, my suede Mademoiselle just arrived but there seems to be a misalignmen. Take a look at the pics. The strap pulls the right side in n the left side juts out. Nothing I do can make it equal on both side. Do u think it’s a suede issue or will it happen to the calf leather too? Cos if it’s a suede issue then I’ll return n won’t bother to exchange it. The misalignment causes the clasps to not meet close properly too. I’m so disappointed.Congrats and looking forward to your reveal
This isn’t really a problem in my opinion but it’s obviously a matter of what you are comfortable with. The Mademoiselle leather is soft and flexible and the sides of the bags easily push in or pull out depending on what look you want. If you browse through this thread you can see it both ways. You can sort of “train” the sides to stay in or pull out depending on how you stuff and store the bag. I always store my Mademoiselles on their backs because of the soft leather.
Hey! Thank you for this explanation.My celadon one was more stiff n both sides were the same. I thought it was more of a structured bag but now I know it isn’t. So I tried to pull both sides out n it seems to work. Then I loaded my stuff in and the whole bag just kinda got in shape. Thanks! Think I’ll keep it!
You’ll probably find that with use the leather gets softer and broken in and it’s harder to keep the sides pushed in.
Ok, thanks for the heads up. Good to know so I won’t get fed up when it happens.
Agree with all that @Cosmopolitan had shared. My orange XS crossbody arrived just like yours. Honey Mlle softened after consecutively using it for a few days. I did stuff it with paper stuffing and laid it on its back during storage to help it maintain its shape.
Sigh...really wanted to keep the bag so I did a thorough check n found a stain...arg..looks like it’s going back after all. Oh well...now the quest resumes for another color. Any suggestions?
That's too bad
Look for the Navy calfskin - call a boutique. I got mine here in Malaysia when I visited the boutique. Since you can't visit one, perhaps you can call? It won't be online on the LC website since it's from a past season
Awww, that's a disappointment. I hope you find another color that appeals to you.
Mod shots of my Small Mademoiselle Bucket Bag. I’m 5’1”. I can wear the bag with the short strap on my shoulder and reach in for things provided they’re easily accessible in the bag. The long strap it came with proved too long for me - even though I can curl my fingers around the base when the bag is crossbody, it just looks too long. Parisis strap to the rescue which has a shorter drop by 2.5 inches and is the same width as the short strap and hence a better match
Thank you so much for these reference pictures. I think it looks best on your shoulder. and I’m sure it’s very practical. You sure scored with that awesome price! 
And that leather looks yummy!

Fits my usual work stuff including a cardigan and smells divine!
