I was thinking of buying the pastel zoe and keep going back forth what issues did you notice on it and do you feel its insanely small ? wonder if the victorine would be any different .....I completely agree on the kirigami I only wanted/would fully use the large one and couldnt get myself to buy it only to utilize one but the large one is gorgeous adding a chain would make it a perfect little bag.....I always love hearing someones perspective before buying the good the bad the nitty gritty that you wont know until seeing the item thank you for posting about it

I'd rather not disclose what imperfections are there since people then tend to latch onto every tiny thing mentioned and then proceed to look for such "imperfections" - look what happened with people talking about the lining issues with the Mini Pochette and the Neverfull! They are minor imperfections I can live with and don't bother me, I think you will have to decide for yourself if you choose to buy a Zoe
The Victorine wallet is simply too big for my needs and would be mostly wasted space. I will most definitely still be able to use the medium and small Kirigami pieces. I don't love the set as much as I thought I would because I overhyped it in my mind, and I wish the red was the medium vs. the blue. I thought maybe I could use the medium as a tiny clutch but it can realistically only fit my iPhone 8 (without the case) and card wallet and maybe a lipstick, even so it bulges in an odd way so I could never use it as a mini clutch.

I think we all overhype things sometimes I do its hard not to when your so excited about something. I really do love that you get each color in the kirigami set thats the biggest appeal of it to me. I personally have never sold anything LV but if you wanted to you could always sell or gift one of the pouches and keep the one/ones you like best
I keep debating if my rose ballerine/Mono josephine wallet matches or clashes with the escale pastel ....
Received my blue escale speedy today.Made in US...
I finally received my Bleu Escale Toiletry on Friday. Now I have both! I was surprised that I loved the Bleu more than the pastel! I mostly wear pastels, but the bleu really has me. Much more beautiful in person than in pictures.
I got the Escale Zippy in pastel and it is gorgeous, highly recommended!
You can sell the Kirigami you don't want. That is what I do- buy the set and sell the one(s) I don't want. I did that with monogram set, first epi set, and the Escale set.
Ops. Checked the outside and it is made in France which is stated on the outside. I had just checked the inside tab...
Lovely! Looks like a functional beautiful little clutch and glad the Zoe workedI’ve decided to keep the Zoe. Once I tried putting my cards in it and tested it in the large Kirigami with some of my other things, I decided that it belongs in my collection
Thanks and yes, it is! I fits fewer cards than my Chanel card holder, but the trade off is that it can fit surprisingly many coins and bills if I have cash with me without bulging...Lovely! Looks like a functional beautiful little clutch and glad the Zoe worked
An observation about the discussed black flecks on the pastel - I didn't notice this on my pastel mini pochette but saw it on the Kirigami and my Zoe. I personally believe it's extra flakes of glazing which stuck to the canvas, or some sort of lint...it takes a bit of work to remove even if it's not stuck to the canvas, could be some sort of static or just the flecks getting stuck in the nooks and crannies of the canvas. If you find black specks, it's probably normal and can be cleaned off.
Some other photos I took yesterday...

- Red Escale with 2015 Grenade (pinky red) - I debated the red Escale strap for couple days because I wanted it to go with this bag. It’s not a perfect match but it would’ve still looked really nice together. Ultimately I couldn’t justify the cost for just a strap.
- Seaside with blue Escale and 2015 Grenade with red
- Some people mentioned their medium Kirigramis could fit as much as their mini Pochette. I managed to transfer all my stuff over from the Escale mini Pochette to the medium Kirigami but the things are messier inside. Also, it would fit significantly less than my monogram mini pochette but I’m still surprised it’s able to fit so much!

Haha, yay!You are my new favorite person
I think discussing tiny little imperfections really spoils the item for many people - they agonize over what really would've been nothing had they never read it on TPF. I'd like everyone to decide for themselves on what "imperfections" they can live with!
