The Matelassé Club

I meant to join too but I got side tracked. Thanks to KDC for reminding me about this thread.

Here's my Marine Matelasse. She arrived, a few weeks ago, very dry with few scratches on her. With LMB lotion, the leather became supple and the scratches evened out too....

You know what I LOVE about this style that has all other bal bags beat? The stitch down the tassel! My bordeaux first tassels are starting to split :sad: ....but not on this bag! Why doesn't bal put that stitch down all their tassels?
I'm taking mine on a trip tomorrow! Perfect size for a travel purse.
 
Whow so pretty, I love the look of the matelasse would love to get the larger size some day...I regret not having got anything in sienna but it's never too late just that I need to wait until next year.
