LOL thanks for info, mrss! So lots of constant stroking and caressing then, all over... My, must make sure DH doesn't get jealous! :p

hahahahahaha, you're too funny. So I guess the question is do people prefer new or older box? Does anybody have a bright color box that has developed a patina? All the older box I've seen so far are black, I've actually never seen one with a brighter color, so I wonder how it will look like... :confused1:
 
Hi box experts. As you know, I recently just bought my first box. Today I took her out for a stroke. Went to Chelsea to pick up some stuff for my baby, and then the stupid down pour came. I freaked out, poured out the rain coat, bought an umbrella AND jumped into a cab. Only by the time I went back uptown, the rain has stopped.

When I came home, I carefully inspected my poor baby. Luckily, I didn't see any wet stain. But what I did see is there was some minor scratches on the surface. I know it scratches very easily, and I know over time it will deliver a nice patina. But at the meantime, how do you use your box? Do you just use it carefree, or are you baby your box?

Thanks for sharing in advance!

Carefree, you won't see the small scratches in a while. You will have some more, and the overall aspect will be more uniform.
But obviously carefree doesn't mean I would drive over my bag with a trunk, it just means I do regular use i do with all my other bags.

A beeteefoo lady like her deserves a blown up. She's so well "moisturised". Shiny and silky.
