perfectionThanks. Blue and brown are my favorite colors. Too matchy-matchy though, is it wrong I just bought a top to go with it?

Sharing my favorite bag over last year or so....after sitting in my closet for so long, unused, for many years...my Vache Natural Plume 32 emerged as my number one go to. Over the years, my tastes and proclivities evolve....Birkins become too heavy. Kellys too fussy. Both too recognizable. Picotin not quite right. PB 37 too big. Black box too dressy.....and voila. I had the right bag for the mission all along! I love her patina...have worked on her over time with many of Docride's time tested methods/products. She is light, holds everything I need, under the radar, fits over my shoulder when I want, is worn in and impervious to water or light scratches...and people always remark and ask about her. I love Vache Natural!! And I love the PLUME!

I know exactly what your saying, the Plume is awesome. I have a Barenia/Toile that I use for summer.
Your Plume is lovely❤️.

The patina on this bag is perfection. I’ve always liked the Plume but have hesitated to buy one because I’m afraid of repeating the issue I have with the Garden Party — it almost-but-not quite works as a shoulder bag. Does this mean your Barenia Kelly has fallen out of favor?

am taking a break from lugging her around. The canvas strap I use from Chapman is perfect but it is also heavy...with rugged hardware. I think as I get older I just get tired of the weight....I have never owned a GP. For some reason they don't appeal to me though I know so many love them. I don't know about a 28 Plume, but my 32 Plumes do fit on my shoulder though its snug with the bag right under my arm pit It's not a long term comfort carry by any means, but if I need to I can do it. I don't know - I love the 32 Plume - you may want to revisit It holds about the same if not more than a 30 B, and certainly as much as my 35 K. It's pretty roomy while remaining light and comfortable!
