I am so sorry for the late response! I’ve been MIA in the purse forum for a little while. When I first got her ( it was my first LV bag [emoji4]) I used it pretty frequently even carrying it to work and using as a daily bag. During the first year of use I noticed some faint scratches and it freaked me out. So I put it away and would only use on the weekends when I need a little black bag. I would say by the start of the second year, I probably used it twice a month, sometimes even less. When I’m not using this bag I keep it stored in the dust bag and I keep the lock stored in its tiny dust bag. The lock has quite a few scratches on it but you can’t see them in the picture too well. I do still feel even with the scratches the silver hardware is still shiny. In a nutshell at this point , it’s definitely more of weekend bag when I want to carry less or if I’m going out and want a smaller handbag to carry. Sorry for the novel! Lol
