Thus far I have two vernis cles (one pomme, one pearle) and they have held up very well. I haven't had any heat transfer issues(and so far have had 90 degree plus weather) and no scratches or anything. I primarily use mine as coin pouches. If there's a clip inside the bag i'm using I'll clip it to there. I prefer not to clip mine to the outside of my bags in fear of them opening up or snagging on something. I would def recommend one though. I'm so addicted I want many more colors. The ones that are primarly in stores right now are the pearle and the beige color. Pomme is on it's way out the door and at least in the US so far there are no framboise. Also the indigo was discontinued a while ago in the US and there are none anywhere in boutiques. Hope that helps!
