I love the way u store your bags !

I usually stuff all my bags but decided to fold some mzw to save space. Talking about the change of fabric, is Bedford air history now? the latest is it rec (Bowery) Bedford? Is that better or worse than air?
These hangers are just for my Mini SoHo’s really.., the rest of my bags are stuffed with air packs and stored in dustbags in my closet on shelves..D84F0AEB-8E22-4151-8B66-517D71573F0C.jpeg
 
I have to say I have fallen for my own bag. I kept putting off wearing the tribecca downtown in grove. When I finally started using it , I couldn't put it down. The bag is light weight , has great pockets and the zippers glide like butter. I am so delighted. Are there bags you bought you weren't sure about and then was pleasantly surprised?
 
Maybe I didn't turn on the steamer hmm. Did u iron with a towel between the bag and the iron? Plus steamer function on? Or was your iron the vertical steamer type? Thanks for sharing :smile:

Hi ms p,

I own a hand steamer. Like the one below. No towel in between, just steam. It did the job. I hope it works for you as well.

I have the impression Bowery is a thinner Bedford air. Not sure where I read it from. Did it felt thin? Stitching was uneven or diff thread?

From what I recall, the nylon on the inside of the Black Bowery backpack was this beautiful pink, which was thin, light and soft. On the outside, however, the black nylon was thicker, shinier.... it felt a cheap to me.... yes the finishes of the stitching were not great on the sample I got. For me, the stitching was a dealbreaker. I returned with Post-It notes all around pointing the places where the stitching was faulty. I hope my feedback will serve to improve quality. On a contrary note, I have read good reviews on the printed versions of the Bowery Backpack though.

I own a few Old Bedford nylon pieces, where the nylon is top notch and the stitching finish is perfect. The old school pieces were put together like couture.

I recently bought a small Sutton in rose. I knew I liked the style since I already had one but I wasn't so sure about the color. It turned out to be a really pretty shade of dusty pink that I think will be more versatile than I feared it would be. Its a good thing since it was a final sale price.

I'm glad you're enjoying your downtown Tribeca. Its so great to find a bag that suits you perfectly. Grove looked like a really nice shade of green.

The original Bedford nylon bags were the best. Superb quality. I'm really sorry they discontinued them.
 
I like the new print but don't plan to buy it. I would like the outside pockets on the small Sutton deluxe for my keys and cell phone. If they ever offer it in dawn I might consider ordering.
I have a gift card but nothing at the moment is jumping at me. It is not enough for the small Sutton but once points come maybe. I wish they would bring back the old Bedford fabric in new styles.
