Does anyone own the saumur bb in epi leather? I can’t find many reviews on it. Seems like the monogram is more popular and I only see posts on that one. Mod shots? Thoughts??
 
I just purchased this in the cognac and absolutely love it. I don’t have modeling pics but I’ll try to take some to share. The lack of the back pocket didn’t bother me as it would have just been a paper holder for me. Everything I daily carry does fit except my mini pochette because it’s a smidge too large. My iPhone 14pro fits nicely along with a cardholder, hand sanitizer, pill case, lip balm or 2 and my keys.

I’m currently only using the crossbody strap and not putting the top handle on it.

My favorite thing about it is the epi leather honestly. It’s a structured bag but not stiff at all! ❤️❤️❤️
 
I'm trying to decide between the saumur bb in epi and the empreinte diane.

Saumur bb - love the strap options, ok size but only essentials, looks like a little trunk

Diane - perfect size for my everyday carry and has a back pocket, but dislike the jacquard strap

If the saumur bb epi had a back pocket it would have been perfect

I also bought the Cognac a few weeks ago and have been using it daily. I don’t miss the back pocket as I really wouldn’t have used it. I picked the epi because it felt lighter to me than the monogram and I love the quiet luxury.
Hi, I‘m thinking about getting the black Saumur bb. Do you still love yours and how has it held up? Is there any cracking on the flap where it bends? Could one of you ladies share a picture of the bag irl? Thanks a lot! :flowers:
 
I forgot to post here, I went to the store last November to try the quartz Saumur and made some pictures. I would say the look of the bag is really stunning, very chic and I love how it doesn't scream LV. The thing I didn't like was the interior, there are two bulky areas on each side of the interior taking up so much space. I really don't understand why these things are there? Doesn't seem to have a function. I could live with that if there was an interior pocket, but no not even that :sad: with these things in mind I have a hard time deciding if I really want this bag because it's also quite pricy. I still have it on my wishlist tho because it's really beautiful! I go to the store again this weekend and will give it a second try, maybe it changes my mind. Here's a close-up and some modshots, for reference I'm 170cm/5'7.

I remember your pictures now! Thank you for posting again :)
The Saumur is so pretty and it looks gorgeous on you! Also I think that the size is perfect, a bigger version wouldn’t look so good imo. But I agree, the folds of the lining taking up so much space is a problem. It was probably a design flaw and they only realised it after production started. Otherwise I don’t have an explanation for this.
Yes, the price is really steep for what it is - Epì leather, no inside or outside pocket, the bulky lining. But it is so pretty! And I love the tiny circular logo! :love:
How exciting that you go to the store on the weekend? Please take some pictures! I‘ve been ill since mid December and cannot go in the foreseeable future. Would you mind also looking if there is a dent in the leather underneath the buckle? Thanks a lot! :)
