I just wanted to do a wear and tear update on the ME City after using mine consistently for 4 months (got it sometime around mid-May?) :) I literally had to self-check myself to keep me from overusing it! (I really really love it, and now I'm thinking to get a nice black RHW or a rogue cerise??)

(Note: the lighting is a bit yellow, making the gold hardware deeper, it has pale gold HW in actual light)

It's beginning to get that desirable Bal slouch :) and the leather has become discernably softer! The smell still lingers, but has gone fainter

Eventually, I guess the whip-stitch handles will be the first part of the bag to show the wear and tear, as you can see here, there's already a hint of fraying and yellowing.

The smell though, right?? Mine has mellowed too, but not gone away. I haven't used mine consistently for 4 months but it has also softened discernibly and I love it. Such a great bag. I HIGHLY recommend a rouge cerise. I have mine with me today and I am head over heels in love with it.

I really love the color of your ME! And it looks like it is wearing just fine with the Bal slouch!

I am thinking about a Rogue Cerise in the envelope pouch, red's my favorite color to wear, but surprisingly I own zero red bags!

Hello everyone! I wanted to share with you met lovers my new addition...i got a pre-loved city from designer-vintage, the bag is from 2014-1 collection (i think the first edition of the bag)and in mint conditions,the leather has soften to perfection,but keeps the glossy beautiful richness that makes this bag look so luxurious.

Is it really heavy even with an empty?

Even if it's of course heavier than a classic city bag,i don't find it too heavy at all...and really the leather makes the big difference from other bags,this one says Luxe!
And the fact that it ages without any marks play an important role...while my other cities have the corners a little bit used,this One is still perfect as new. I love it

Mine is from 2014 and no color fading at all...with black no problem...i don't know with other colors if the story is defferent 😉

Thinking of getting either black or the new holiday color rose des sables (desert rose)

Can't decide!! Anyone who has a light colored ME please share your experience on wear and tear! Do the handles yellow easily?
