Just received a large, chocolate goatskin RG from the Houston YSL via a really nice SA from Bal Harbor who called around to track one down for me. This is my first YSL, and the bag is so completely me- the size, the shape and the soft leather are exactly what I was hoping they would be (had seen but never before touched an RG IRL) . Getting it at the sale price makes it a double winner.
Does anyone know the best way to protect the leather from the elements (I'm in the Chicago are where the "elements" reign supreme -- or should I say "rain" supreme" ) . I hope rain spots will not be a problem with goatskin. Also, I was wondering- the bag arrived in a silky dust bag but with no YSL box- is this typical of how bags arrive in the mail?
BTW, if anyone else is looking for either a chocolate or ivory RG the SA at Bal Harbor told me there are still some available (or at least there were as of last Saturday, the 22nd).
