For those of you that have bought the Madison Sophia or shoulder bag in the embossed python, how are you liking it and is it wearing well? I really, really like the grey embossed shoulder bag but am worried about peeling. I would love to hear from anyone who has had a python Sophia or shoulder bag for a while on what they think. I tend to rotate bags a lot, but do not like to worry about carrying a delicate bag. TIA!
Madison embossed python -- how is it wearing?

i'm curious, too. i finally caved and ordered the python madison shoulder bag today....my dh drove me to my boutique and waited for me for almost an hour while i made my picks and now i cannot wait to get this bag.
I have the Large Blue Pthon Sophia, but have only had it since Thursday. I have worn it for 3 days now and I love it. I have been wearing it with the 2 handles over my shoulder most of the time. It is nice and soft and not showing any wear at all yet. The corners don't stick out they are nice and floppy. I like it that way. I ordered the Grey Python Shoulderbag today, it should be in by Friday. I also got the Large Toffee Croc Sophia, but haven't worn it yet.
Is this the bag you are talking about? I have this Sophia. It is wearing really well. Only place you see some slight wear because I use the small handles and put that over my shoulders, it the top of the purse between the handles. It isn't even bad though. That purse is gorgeous. Love it!
Many displays I have seen around here are damaged, and the first python shoulder bag I ordered actually arrived damaged from JAX (BOO!!).... BUT...I have used the heck out of my purple multi (pink) python Sophia, and there's NO wear at all!! I carry it as a satchel, so it has every opportunity to peel and get color transfer on it, and it's still perfect. LOVE this bag...absolutely one of my favorites, which is why I've carried it a lot, and I've gotten so many compliments (not from employees)!!! I almost didn't buy into these bags because of my first experience, plus the ones I saw that were damaged, but I think if you get a good one, it does seem to hold up (at least from my experience). Like you lmc, I'm constantly rotating, so I don't have an issue. Mostly I was concerned about the small Sophia size, but it worked out very well for me. As for the gray color, I really love my clay python Miranda more, though, but that's just me...I'm not a huge gray or black leather person in general (case by case for me). I tend to like the lighter, more natural python better if it has gray/black tones (i.e. less dark gray). Anyway, if you get a good one to begin with that doesn't seem to be already starting to peel, I think you should be ok!
