Someone had a question about the accessory and wristlet straps for Penelope/Penelope Midi. Accessory strap is longer and more plain (no buckle).
Top - accessory strap
Bottom - wristlet strap

A question on the strap for the Penelope Midi. I looked at the site and there is a default strap with the Midi, isn't this the one pictured on the light blue Penelope Midi on your photo? If so, anybody knows what the optional strap is that is available as an extra for 15 euros?

Here is my promised reveal of my new to me bags from the BST! In three different leathers! Thanks to HopelessBagGirl and Coastal Jewel for sending these beauties all the way to Singapore! I am looking forward to taking each bag out for its first outing.

You are very welcome!

The raw edges are not my favorite because of how they feel (they look fine to my eyes) but the price point makes it worth it to me. I may get some edge paint and do them myself as you have once mentioned doing (I think it was you.) My cobbler sells awesome leather spray paint so I bet he could sell me good edge paint as well.

If (when) I get a little Tulipano, I will go for edge painting because I have been pampered by MM and tone on tone edge paint is a must for me nowadays with all bags. But of course, it comes with a cost, so I need to wait for a sale. :smile:

The accessory strap would come in handy if you want

Can you show a close up of the raw edge?

Is there a durability issue with not using edge paint? If there is no edge paint to crack will bag look nice longer? Trying to figure out why Marco did the Tulipano without when his other bags have coated edges.

Laurel Dasso is really concerned with how bags hold up after hundreds of uses and prefers waxing edges. She offers free refurbishment and had one client send in her bag after 9 years of constant use to be refreshed. That's amazing to me. So some think edge paint is a bit of a liability after long term use.

I did not know she offers free refurbishment. I have a couple of her bags, so I'll keep that in mind.
