I pre-ordered my turquoise p9 but I am having thoughts of canceling the order.
1- I wanted it on launch date.
2- I'm scared to actually take it outside
3- I'd rather travel with that $
(but I still want one 🩵)
What a conundrum - it’s beautiful for sure. And you should have gotten it on launch date!! It is indeed $$ you could travel with, the bag of course is a collectors forever piece I would imagine. And I’m betting you would get less fearful of taking it outside. Our lovely pieces are meant to be enjoyed and to go places. Hope your decision gets easier, I’m wondering if you had gotten on launch date if all your doubts would have slipped away… if you get it we can’t wait to see it!
 
How gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your stunning bag @DrTr ! It's great to actually see this elegant finish on an actual bag before the Alma's release :smile: Is the leather rubbery or smooth feeling (like the black leather on the Palm Springs backpack line)? And do you find it high or low maintenance? TY
Hello @MyBelongs to Louis! Thank you, I absolutely love this bag. The leather is smooth and soft feeling, not rubbery at all. The handle has a gorgeous hand to it. And the monogram is subtly shiny. I’m not 100% it’s the same as the ink leather, but it certainly looks the same. The chain is heavy, but gorgeous, and the ink piece’s chains look like they might weigh more also with the gold and the leather entwined. I don’t always use the chain on it. But for the right outing I would wear the chain as a necklace!! šŸ¤“

This is a bag I would call medium maintenance. I don’t hesitate to use it for errands or a meal out, as many here know I use most of my small bags on dog walks and hikes, I doubt I will take this one on walks. That said, if I happened to be out with it and my girl, and needs be, I would take it. My guess it might scratch, but not so far with regular use. HTH. If I hadn’t gotten this piece I would have considered an ink piece, I think they are gorgeous.

I love the monogram ink too! Don’t know for sure, but as soon as I saw it it reminded me of my camera box leather which is indeed calfskin. And it’s a lovely leather if they are similar! I was sorry to have missed the original monogram ink pieces.

Wow! Thank you for spending the time to give such a detailed response and description of your bag! I love how meticulously you've described everything for me: from the leather quality, design and finish, and even the hardware details and weight. Superb breakdown of your bag's features and its overall ease of use! It's been extremely helpful in my decision process for this Alma BB :heart: :hugs:

I hope you continue to wear your black beauty in the best of health, dear DT! :heart::heart::heart:

Hi all. Has anyone gotten the new eclipse pochette accessoires xl? I heard the zipper is not very smooth, probably due to the size and length of the bag?
I just played with it at the store today! No issues with the zipper. Smooth and easy to use. If not smooth, can easily fix by running wax paper over it. They can do it at the store for you too.

Of course MyBelongs! So glad it was helpful. Hope you get the ink Alma! I think it is a gorgeous bag. The grey is beautiful too, but the black is just a stunner. Can’t wait to see yours if you get it, and thanks for your good wishes :hugs:

I think I’ve become more of a lightweight now that I’m in my 50’s. I need to lift weights šŸ‹ļø.
I agree about Hermes leather being the best. My Hermes bags show little to no wear over the years.
I went to LV and have decided against the carryall cargo mostly because of the lambskin leather. I also had difficulty snapping the bag shut with a decent amount inside including a water bottle but there was still a good amount of space left.
I’ve decided to go with the low key pm hobo. The photo shows the strap going underneath the bag. I wonder if I’ll have the same issues with it hanging below the bag… I shall see.
Do you have a review to share with us about the Low Key PM?
