I love it in the brown (probably in minority) because I like going under radar. It's not like I don't like colors, but the current offerings on the 25 are too audacious to me. It's REALLY hard for me to think of ways to wear those colors and I like colors, but more on a pastel palette. Not bold and strong, and in your face. They seem too masculine to me.

But they sure look nice on a lot of the male models carrying them. Somehow the sharp colors work so well on men.

I hate to say this but if the colors are more sophisticated like Hermes, I think I'd go for color! In artist terms, the colors are "straight from the tube". Each color needs to be mixed in with something to make it more alluring and endearing.

PS: yeah, what is traditional orange color? I'd like to know as well.

“Straight from the tube” - I love that! And so true!

I have some questions for owners. I really like the pink. Does the leather get rain marks or scuff easily? Also, the vachetta seems to be aged or treated. Does it get water marks? I live in southern US and our weather is so unpredictable. I'd hate to get caught in a surprise shower.

I got the vachetta on my 40 relatively wet accidentally and was so pleased to see absolutely no water marks. It’s tanned and then sealed on top of that for sure. I can’t speak to other liquids and how it would handle them, but as per my water incident the vache is 100% aged and then sealed. Now the actual body of the bag is quite soft and I actually have some very light wear already showing on the bottom corners of the bag despite being quite careful with it.

I'm planning my P9 purchase, will you recommend a 25 or 30 for a female, ~5'7 height? Will the 30 be too heavy? Thanks for any advice!

How much do you carry? Try to put your usual stuff in the 25 and the 30 in their regular monogram bags and see which one you find more functional. Try on both the 25 and 30 in regular and visually take in which one you prefer more. Then ask the CA for his/her advice.

I find that CAs usually give pretty solid advice because they've seen too many ppl of all ages and sizes and can categorize ppl accordingly.

I'm eyeing the 25 not because I'm 5'5 but because I really don't want a bag to overwhelm me and subconsciously make me carry more than I need to. Of course, there is a need for bigger bags. I have 2 35s in monogram. Also take in that bigger sized P9s will slouch even more.

Good luck. Which color are you planning to get? Shopping is fun and exciting. :smile: 🌸 :smile:
