Hi everyone,

Does this bag hold it's shape? I would use a bag pillow but I was worried about the combination + light color losing shape or showing a lot of creases. It is SO beautiful though.

Thanks!
I have this bag in a light color using a bag pillow helps it keep its shape really well. Mine hasn’t creased much, just softens slightly with use. Still looks beautiful!

Whether a bag can hold it's shape depends on the leather. What leather is your bag?
For a Rose Sakura Birkin these days, the leather will be swift.

I will no longer buy swift birkins, especially light colored ones because the rippling is pretty inevitable and the messy look of it really turns me off. Like deflating skin on an elderly person. Here are some random pics from google, all of different bags (most are sales posts where the photographer is absolutely trying to get the best pic possible but ends up with these...)

This is what I was worried about. Thank you
 
I am really a kelly girl but I said to myself I need to add a neutral Birkin to complete my quota bags in classic colors so I requested for gold on gold but I was surprised by the best among the classic browns - My latest baby - B25 Fauve Barenia Faubourg GHW. I finally have craie, etoupe, noir and gold/fauve in my quota bags! Thank you for letting me share!
