Thank you for the info, Rockerchic..

Awww, thanks! I didn't know there were two kinds of CdC. She's not stiff, so if there are two kinds she probably is souple. Yep, she's my workhorse. Last Saturday she was filled to the brim as I took her to the beauty salon with me... magazines, snacks, umbrella, a Valentine's gift for my hair stylist and a shawl to keep her covered and safe while there. She was bulging and I loved it!!

Wow.. Seems like a great candidate for a workhorse Does it stand well against water/stains?

I'm loving CDC sooo much now..

She's never gotten wet. I keep a Longchamp Pliage in my car and one in my office. So when it is raining, I put her in one of them, depending on where I am when the rain is discovered! I've always heard that Chevre handles water well, though.

^^definitely good in the rain. similar to swift, fjord, togo in that sense. if it gets a bit wet, no worries! I'm telling you, it is the perfect skin!

Katel, the indigo has a relax yet classy feel!! Thank you for taking her out of her hiding place. Which year stamp is this?

 

[Kallie Girl]

^Gorgeous Katel... just gorgeous!!

Katel, that indigo bag is really beautiful! The brushed hardware looks great, too.

Kallie Girl, thanks for posting about doing the Blackrock's treatment on your chevre. I've been thinking about doing it to my Kelly, but it's sort of hard to work up the nerve. I'm still so protective and nervous about her-- but it looks like your bag came out beautifully afterwards.

calexandre: Oh, the Blackrock's is really not a big deal at all. Really... don't be scared of it. You will be amazed how gorgeous your Chevre will look. If you have a Chevre accessory, try it on that first. I had bought a pre-owned Chevre accessory and used some Blackrock's on it and it went from looking so-so to looking
brand new.

Don't use the Obernauf's on it though. That is a waterproof-er and you don't need it on Chevre.
