My new numero neuf in cognac. I can’t tell you how gorgeous this bag is in person! I wasn’t going to buy the cabas tote because I think it’s too big for me but now I want it anyway because it’s similar to this! Wow

Congratulations! As others have said already, this is a stunning bag and you look wonderful! I have the black Neuf on my wishlist but I think I’m tempted with the cognac too thanks to your pics. The second photo of you holding the bag, does the bag have anything in it or is it empty?

And I'm getting a new one of these

From a lovely Englishwoman for $276. That's 30% off! For a never used brand new one. Yay! And the 50% off new Un nano in smooth Burgundy (my favorite) as well! I'm almost enjoying a mini parisian bag BOGO holiday weekend. :yahoo:
I live for thrifting.
Now I just need to find a smooth Sept for a steal and I will have all four polenes I am into! (Trio camel un, smooth un nano, Sept mini and a smooth Sept).
 
Question: As a Canadian buyer, should I purchase in Euros or USD? It is slightly cheaper in USD but would I be charged duties? Can any fellow Canadians assist?
You're going to be charged taxes regardless. I believe if you pay in Euros you only get charged sales tax + DHL handling fee, but i read that if you pay in USD you might get charged duty too. People have said if they pay in Euro then you pay less taxes overall. I ordered in Euros and paid around $60 extra in taxes, but others who ordered in USD said they paid around $100 in taxes.
 
Can anyone who owns a bag in the smooth calfskin please let me know how it wears? I’m looking at the numero sept and like the smooth calfskin better but am concerned about wear. Does it scratch super easy?
I don't think the leather is that smooth. It's called smoothed leather because it's not deliberately grained, but it does have some graining on it so it should be pretty durable.

Really? My nano is 100% smooth (to the eye, at least). I have a few small dents and scuffs but I'd still say it's decently durable if you take care of it.
 
So, I finally ordered the #9 in black this morning (going back and forth between black and cognac). I'm super excited to be getting this bag...in fact, I haven't been this excited for a bag in a long time!! I hope to buy more of the Neuf in different colors because I think this is my favorite style of all of them. I've always been a satchel girl!!

I am so happy for you! :yahoo: :happydance: Excited to hear what you think of it when it arrives. I have a feeling we will end up bag twins once I hear your review...
