~`The Backpack Club`~

Hi all, I recently bought Montsouris pm backback and find it really hard to get the stuff out as compared to my cross body bags. If I go for shopping, I literally has to put my bag down to open it. How do you use your backpack. Do you carry on one shoulder or both. I know I may sound silly but I am struggling to use the backpack for everyday life.

I can see what you mean. But I also find myself taking a crossbody on and off several times throughout the day. I also have the Montsouris but haven't used it very often, but am anticipating taking it on and off. It's such a great bag that I think it's worth it!

I think it's meant to be worn on both shoulders so you can be hands free. At least, how I usually wear backpacks. Otherwise, it's really not anymore convenient than a cross shoulder/ open tote.

I bought the black Bandoulire and wear it cross body. I use it at least three times a week.

Which bag?

Which bag?

Sorry. I should have clarified. The Montsouris BB.

Those straps are detachable? I have the regular size and wish I could do that.

 

[JoesGirl]

Yep. You can detach them. I need to take a pick and post. Especially because I’ve worn it the last three days LOL!

My new-to-me Louis Vuitton Black Damier Geant Pionner Backpack.... He is born in 2005. Pretty light weight, the exteriors are great and durable looking! Can't wait to bring him out.

I’m in the club now with my vintage Montsouris mini from 1999. Took a year to find it and a week of meticulous cleaning and conditioning to get the bag looking this nice. It had water stains and scratches but luckily no tears or cracks. Condition wait 12 hours clean with saddle soap, 12 hour wait, condition, 12 hour wait, then magic eraser all the vachetta and conditioner again. Repeat until desired shade achieved. Canvas cleaned with armor all vinyl protecting wipes.

Beautiful. Do you have any before pictures? I’m on the hunt for a preloaded mm and would love to find one where a good cleaning is all that is needed and not replacing all the vachetta

I have it in black empreinte although I ordered this one too so I could choose between the two. It's actually a pretty decent size. Not small!
