While I don't own any, to my understanding, Pebbled is nigh indestructible (I think the very first bag of Colette's with MM was taupe Pebbled actually!)
So glad you snagged this one! I was definitely tempted but have been trying to edit a little.
Love your new bag. When Marco first introduced the Divina I bought one of the first ones he made in purple leather. When I received it I felt it was way too big for me. I told Marco he needed to make a midi version of the Divina at this time he had no midi versions of his bags. I worked with him on what size I felt a midi Divina would be a good size. We spoke for about an hour on what he felt was a good size vs what I felt was a good size. I told him that there were people like me that could not carry a large bag because it overwhelmed us. He agreed to the size I suggested which I felt made the most sense. After having had all the input about a midi Divina I never purchased one myself. There are just too many bags to choose from and if I got one of all the ones I like I would have even more bags.
I have both the midi Zhoe and the Phoebe. I don't find one better than the other just different. I have 2 Phoebes that when I am going to the stores and do not need to carry that much I will use a Phoebe when I need to carry a little more I will take the mini Zhoe. Also the Phoebe I will put into a larger bag like a midi Selene and often just take the Phoebe if I am wanting to carry a little less and put the midi Selene into the trunk of my car. The Zhoe to me is more of a handbag and I hope you understand what I mean by that but as I mentioned it holds more and I do not put the mini Zhoe inside a larger bag ever. I have an Africa lead Phoebe which I use as an evening bag I purchased an additional all leather strap for my Phoebes along with the chain strap that comes with the bag makes it very versatile. The mini Zhoe is my fun bag because it is in sunflower yellow and living in Florida I use it quite often. Zhoe is such a great bag but understand I have 6 Zhoe's a mini, 3 regular and 2 Legends so maybe I am the wrong person to give an opinion on a Zhoe vs a Phoebe. I am particularly partial to the Zhoe of all sizes because I find it to be a very versatile style.I would like to get a small summer bag, and I'm looking at the Mini Zhoe and Phoebe. The price difference is significant, even though the sizes and styles are quite similar. Can someone who has one or both explain to me why one is better than the other?
