You are my new favorite person :love:

I was so thrilled when I read that reply too. I mean that in a neutral and friendly way. No harm or offense meant, but...

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!

this is everything. agreed agreed agreed. :biggrin: oh and the black speck debacle. I have some on almost every piece of pastel I received. At first I was like f%$* what is this crap ! But it really does wipe off easily. My TP26 has one spot that seems to be a tiny divot taken out of the canvas. Clearly that doesn't wipe off but like you said I'd rather have that beauty and live with that divot than not have it at all ! <3 <3
 
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!
Gorgeous pics, and comparisons and :what fits: post! Thanks so much. I love these kinds of posts. It reminds me of that old HGTV commercial tag line “you know you want to look” :P thanks again, I know it takes some time :heart:

My pleasure! I had everything scattered on the bed last night while trying everything out so I thought I'd take a few photos :D

I didn’t realize it had changed into posting only stalking because I see chatter in there all the time. I also don’t know what my post said that was off topic, but I think it was related to why I didn’t like the escale speedy.

If the rules of that thread have changed maybe a sticky at the top of every page like some other threads have would be helpful.
I’m seriously surprised a mod hasn’t closed it and started a new one due to the size of that thread (since they’ve done that for others). Not sure when it got changed to a no chatter thread, then!

Anyway...my on topic bit for this thread: expecting three other Escale items this week, I don’t intend on keeping all 3 but we will see (the Kirigami was a bit of an impulse but the one I’m most excited for!)

I recall some members claiming the thread is/should be only for stalking and nothing else so I guess that's where the mods picked it up from..
