Thank you very much for your replies. I bought a 32 Daily battle, the normal one without the Zip. It arrived today, beautifuly packaged.

however, after searching extensively for a tag where it was made, I found a small engraving ‘Made in Spain 2010’.

I emailed customer service of 2010 was the year of production and they replied immediately it’s a serial no.
I am not satisfied, however.

how did the serial numbers of your Daily Battles look like?

thanks

I’m curious if anyone has had a similar experience. An acquaintance saw my DB and said “ooh nice bag is that goyard?”

That was one small concern I had about getting this bag, that it would be mistaken as a goyard or *gasp* goyard knockoff. It doesn’t make me love it any less but just made me feel awkward at the time. Just wondering if this happened to anyone else and how you responded.

Hi,
I am thinking of getting the daily battle zip 32 but want to check whether it is heavy as i have stiff shoulder?
I am also torn between getting the blue or the grey one?
Thanks for answering my question.

I've never had that happen before. I think the two brands are distinct enough that people who are interested in fashion will be able to tell the difference. But I also don't mind if people mistake my designer bags for non-designer bags (and sometimes I actually prefer it that way).

I've heard this a couple of times. Either this or people would ask for the brand when I have my carry on with me. It just makes me love the brand even more as it's not as famous as the other luxury brands. it's like going to a hidden speakeasy where only those who are in the know would understand :cool:

Anyone with the Daily Battle 41…how is it holding up? How slouchy is it? I’m looking for big slouchy tote. I am considering the Goyard Anjou GM size or Daily Battle 41. Perhaps the LV ALL-in tote too.

I have the DB41. It’s maybe 2 years old now, or a little less. I love it. It’s a little slouchy when empty, maybe, but it’s made of semi-sturdy canvas, so it’s not as floppy or thin as the basic Goyard tote is. The sides will kind of flop in towards the middle when the bag is totally empty, but it has a separate bottom panel, so it won’t totally collapse in on itself.
I have noticed some wear/tear on the edges of my shoulder straps where the paint FlP uses to seal the strap edges has gotten a little worn-away, and parts of the leather of the straps has gotten crinkly from use but it’s all very minor. I haven’t noticed any other signs of aging.
The only thing I don’t love is that because the bag is so big and the brand is not super well-known, it was hard to get an organizer insert to fit when my bag is empty. It doesn’t need it to keep its shape but it can become a total black hole. I finally settled on the insert Cuyana makes for its totes and it works but I’ll warn you that even though it works, it is a little small and stuff can slide under the insert (which is fun when your car keys go missing, lol!).
If you are looking at this as a work tote, I will tell you that I was on the hunt for a good office/court/laptop bag for a LONG time. Everything was either too small and full of too many tiny, unusable pockets, or so slouchy and thin that I knew that I would not be able to carry everything I needed if I didn’t want the bag to break. This bag is like my holy grail.
I don’t know if any of that helps. Let me know if you want some glamor shots of the bag and how floppy it is/isn’t and I will see what I can do!

I’ve been using my DB41 mostly daily for about 3 months. I keep baby stuff in it, large agenda, seltzer bottles, pochette. It holds a ton. I love it, it is so comfortable on the shoulder (especially compared to lv neverfull). I would say it is quite slouchy. If it’s not full it flops over and is squishy under the arm. So far holding up great. I do see some idk if you call it cracking or what on some part of the glazing on the straps which was a little disappointing but it doesn’t really bother me and I don’t think will affect the longevity of the bag.
