Can anyone comment on the quality of the CL Paloma bags? Are they worth getting? Asking because they are the last thing on my luxury wishlist before getting into Hermès (which requires much funding haha). Thanks!

I own a CL Paloma and it is BEAUTIFUL. I purchased it new about 3 yrs or maybe closer to 4 yrs ago. I have the one with the patent leopard and gold studs on the sides with a solid black leather surface on the front and back. It's made exreamly well and worth the price tag imo. At the time, it totaled up to just be a little over $2k. It is a heavy bag even with nothing in it! The bag is very structured as well. I do not have any back issues and I do not need to bring a ton of items with me so for me, the weight of the bag doesn't bother me. I do like the look of the bag when carried in the crook of your arm or by hand the best but the majority of the time I use the included leather strap as I am a hands free type of person. I purchased the medium but imo it is slightly larger then your typical medium size bag and really looks like a large. I do not use it that often as I have other bags that are more casual for everyday but whenever I do use it, I get many compliments. To this day I haven't seen anyone using this bag. I'm in California and I see more LVs and Chanel then anything which may be why it gets a lot of attention when I do use it. Looking back, the small would have met my needs but I was talked into the medium as it was I believe only $100 or so bucks more and the small if I recall, was pretty small. In the medium it look more like art as well. If you are considering this bag and you are concerned with weight DEFINITELY get the small! As I do not use it often it is prestine. I did get a slight finger nail scratch on the black leather but with leather conditioner and some light rubbing, it went away. I just purchased some Tory Burch pony hair leopard print flats a couple of weeks ago and it matches up perfectly. Hope this helps. Maybe one day I'll get a Hermes too!
