Hey Jaspearl, I’m in Singapore too! Me, msd and Vink have an informal SEA swap group, it’s good to have more members! About the humidity issue, mold is a big problem in Singapore but if you put those dehumidifier tubs like Hungry Hippo in your closet, you’ll be fine. I personally buy the charcoal ones from Watsons and they work well for me. Just be careful to put them in a corner where they can’t be knocked over since they fill up with liquid.

Hi Soramillay! What a coincidence!
Ok, i better get Thirsty Hippo. I saw them selling on Qoo10. Easier to get a delivery.

Posted in the reference thread: today’s bag is Aphrodite in plum and geranio pebbled, mahogany vacchetta handles, geranio stitching and plum edge paint. Thought about putting her up on the BST since I’ve downsized the stuff I carry, but nope, I’ve changed my mind. I’m keeping her!View attachment 4099358

I have always thought of Vacchetta as a heavy leather? Is that right? It's almost like untreated on the surface so it's not so water resistant?

Vacchetta is the heaviest MM leather, that being said it's not much heavier than pebbled. Also, MM vacchetta is treated so it is definitely water resistant - nothing at all like LV handles.

Everyone must weigh their pros and cons for themselves. For me, the beautiful depth of color and variation in the texture is worth a few more ounces:)

I love this bag! Such a gorgeous combination.
Funny, but I have been contemplating an Aphrodite for the group bespoke. Going off to ponder that idea a bit...

It is the heaviest of Marco’s leather, but it is not “vachetta” in the sense of the untreated, undyed leather used by LV for the handles of their bags. It is dyed and lightly treated. So you can wipe water spots off as soon as they happen with no problem.

mleleigh and southernbelle43,

Thanks for your replies. I was actually thinking of Vacchetta as like LV handles and couldn't understand the offered colours.

I guess i will stick to Merinos. The softness and lightness is better for me since i don't drive and have to lug my bag everywhere.
