I am SO OBSESSED! So glad I tried this bag on in the store and was able to order online. This is the color caramel, and I've included my mini pouch also in the color caramel as a comparison - they are pretty much the exact same color.

I LOVE this bag in this color. It is on my "wish list" I think I will need to grab it up for Fall 2021! Great choice and congratulations! :yahoo:

Just arrived, and I love the colour. One that that concerns me is the closure. every time you open and close your bag, you have you smush/grip one of the squares/pads. Has anyone who owns this bag experienced deflating on the puff used to open and close?

Not sure I’m keeping it but wanted to share pics nonetheless for anyone interested in the racing green colour. I’m also a bit concerned about me scratching this soft buttery smooth leather. 81D26348-92C9-4EAC-B7DD-381C744E9AA1.jpeg826F06A9-CC50-4890-9982-A6186FCEC16C.jpeg127FA451-D2F8-4771-80F3-FC25A49CC1F0.jpeg5121645A-E781-49EA-BE83-56924F76DBC2.jpeg

Congratulations! Is it possible to just grab the bottom edge which is flat to maneuver the locking mechanism into place? It isn't as convenient, but it will prevent a spot from developing on the more prominent puffy part above it from a finger touching that part all the time.

Thank you! Not fully, as it is really a narrow little sliver of glazing and doesn’t allow for the grip required to open it. I did try from the corner which is a tad better but this bag does seem very delicate to me

Mmm, looks like Daniel Lee picked up that clasp mechanism from Celine :heart: - I've honestly been awful about yanking down on the flap of my Belt bag to get the lock to perform - sorta using the tension from the shoulder strap lifting the bag vs me yanking the flap down to close the bag. I've been eyeing this bag for a while (and don't have a store nearby to try) but if the mechanism is hard while the bag is delicate then....The Pouch it is?

Oh true, yeah it’s the exact same clasp, I used to have the belt bag and the closure did bother me a bit, but it wasn’t bad in terms of creating an impression on the leather as the leather was grained and more durable. And mixed with the puffy leather, ooh it worries me. I did see a YouTube review where someone discussed this effect on her bag. The pouch is a lovely option!!

Obsessed with this bag/color, but will i regret this color choice in a few years? i saw someone wearing it in person yesterday and it was stunning. they were also a Bravolebrity so they def have more money to spend on a non classic piece lol

We often don't even know if we will stop liking various styles in a few years. I know of people getting a Chanel Classic Flap and wanted it for years prior, but stopped liking it.

Our tastes will probably change. Get the bag that you like now, because it is hard to predict if we will still like it in the future.
