I dont think I’ve seen a thread in this forum showing our bags with the most wear.
I’ll start with my most favourite bag, my Pochette Métis in empreinte noir.
It’s a 2018 and has been my daily bag (for the most part) for the last 6 years.
It has flown off my passenger seat onto a gravel scattered farm truck floor, been scraped against brick walls, been caught in doors, fallen and skidded onto rough pavement, been in the rain, snow, heat.
I’ve shown my friends the wear and tear and they say that they barely notice it, that my bag still looks amazing.
I used to be afraid to carry my most favourite bag but realized I may never get to enjoy it, so here we are.
I do plan to add a spare into my collection just in case, but not having to worry about this bag and just being able to enjoy it is the best.
Because it looks so great in that photo I wanted to share the imperfections that aren’t visible unless you’re inspecting for wear.
Front left corner from where it’s been scraped against brick
Back pocket where it always rubs when I wear it crossbody
Right front corner
Glazing worn where I always grab the top handle when picking up the bag (3/4 sides look roughly like this, one side of the handle looks perfect still)
Cracks in the glazing on the side of the flap and where the strap rubs. The glazing is still fine and there is no damage to the flap at all (I also never bend the flap completely back) and the stitching is still perfectly fine.
Hope this was useful and I can’t wait to see everyone’s favourites!
