I have been lurking around here for a while. Had contemplated an RM something or another but never got down to it. One day I had to see deziprinzess718's tri-colour French Tote & it was instant . I hunted around & found a Cheri(it was like a bonus coz I love my bags to snap shut but I am slowly changing my mind having discovered RM). Without much thought, I gave in!!! This was just last week.
Today my Cheri reach me. First thing I noticed however was the WEIGHT!!! I have always avoided heavy bags so it was quite a shocker. I took off all the stuffings, extra straps & the hardware & I will test the weight out tomorrow. I hope my shoulders do not retaliate coz I REALLY my Cheri!
I have some questions though, being such an RM newbie. I noticed some stains on the cream patent panel(as pictured). Will water take them away? Do I need to use some cleaning agent like soap? Also, do I need to protect the leather part? I use Apple Garde spray on my Bbags. But I worry if I spray on my Cheri, the patent part would go berserk. Would it? I am sorry to ask so many questions at a time but I hope some French Tote/Cheri owners can chime in. TIA!
Here is my Cheri. Please pardon the mess around it, those are the stuffings.
