Shall I get this boy- Paris Salzburg embossed calfskin ?

Hi All,

I'm in the market to buy a new Boy bag. My first preference was Black caviar but somehow this bag caught my eye and now I'm unable to stop thinking about it. Just wondering if anyone has this bag and can share the pros and cons of it. Also, I'm not sure if I'll be able to use this style after couple of years. When I buy a bag, I try to stick to semi classic version so it can be used for a long time without being outdated. Do you all think it'll look outdated or wear fast after some use?

That's a very pretty boy! I think it still looks classic with the quilt pattern and you can't get more classic than black. Don't think it will look outdated.

I vote yes! It's classic but with a twist, imho you can't go wrong with it!

I have this boy in old medium. This is the only non exotic boy that I know of that came out with leather interior. I really like mine and I do not think it will be outdated as long as the boy bag itself is in style. This is the most rigit style of boy bag that I ever came across, it keeps its boxy shape very well. The leather is very smooth and stiff, this means that while it keeps its shape it is also very noticeable when scratched. I think that it is quiet durable, but once it is scratched somewhere it will not be easy to remove the scratch and it will be noticeable. Also because it is leather lined it does not stretch as much. What I mean is that I am not able to comfortably fit my iPhone 6+ in the inside leather pocket. I was hoping it would stretch a bit like my cloth lined boys, but it did not. To be honest, this is not one of the bags I use often, but because I like using my lambskin boy in black. But I do recommend this bag since I feel it is quest durable and I like that it is so stiff.

Great as the only thing which was stopping me was if I'd be able to use it in future. Thanks for helping me make up my mind

I didn;t know it holds the structure so well. This is great. Just wondering if you have any modelling shots also would you be able to let me know how it weights? Is it as heavy as jumbo or lighter than that? Thanks
