After a long shipping delay, I ended up sending my Grand Palais back. It was just too large for my day to day and I don’t work outside of my home. Ordered a neo alma pm in empreinte and it surprisingly shipped in less than a week. Love the purple interior and the pm is just enough smaller to make it perfect for me. Plus it has feet! Just sharing in case anyone else is looking for something slightly smaller
I looked at the alma on the day I chose the palais too, it’s beautiful!
 
I have the Grand Palais and I absolutely love it! It's perfect work bag, it fits my macbook pro 13 and lots of other staff. And finally - a bag with a zipper!
It’s a lovely bag. I’m worried about the folded corners. I’m wondering if the bag maybe can get problems with the corners? The bag Flower tote has the same folded corners and I’ve seen some bags that the flower tote has sackings corners.. what do you think ? I’m in love with the Palais bag ❤️

It's too soon to be sure, but I also have Alma PM in empreinte leather (corners are different there, but they're also folded) and I didn't have any issue with them. Of course we need to keep in mind that every single bag after some time will show some wear&tear. It doesn't bother me, I'm loving this bag and I use her a lot.

I’m also just using her, I love her classiness and she’s a little bit edgy! I’m sure she will wear in the corners, but I worry less about this with leather than irreparable canvas once it cracks. I had a Bastille PM that had corner wear, and it was repaired to the extent I couldn’t tell it had been done. I have been swapping her out now though, so I will keep her in rotation!
Edited to add the Bastille was also empreinte

It’s nice to hear. That Alma is also very beautiful!
thanks a lot for your answer. This is my first empriente bag

Hello ladies, I am trying to decide between getting the Petit Palais in pure black empriente leather or to go for the tourterelle/creme. I love that the pure black is so simple and chic whereas the tourterelle/creme is more unique. I am worried about color transfers on the light color leather as well. Any thoughts? TIA!
 
I personally would be bringing it back, that would annoy me! Whatever about a bag getting wear, I don’t think I could handle that from the get go! I’ve used my bag every day since I got it and no sagging or indentations like that.
I did bring the beautiful Palais back to the store. She was to sagging in one corner. So I changed my mind. I do love the bag but I don’t like when it is a sagging from the beginning.
I bought the black Onthego empriente instead. I hope I will be happy with her. She is adorable and structured.
have a nice Sunday evening everyone

A beautiful bag to get instead! I’m having no issues with my Grand Palais, I love her. No sagging or wear yet. I’ve been alternating a bit, but she has had a lot of use!
