The Azur is also a stunning color! Do you use it frequently, for travel or work?
Thank you ! :hbeat:

I use it as an everyday bag. I'm a stay at home mom, so I don't work. I have the MM and it is plenty big for me- even with random kid stuff thrown in (but nothing that could leak like a bottle). It goes to the store with me, to parks, to playdates, and on vacation. The only time I don't use it is when it rains. I adore the pink interior!
 
Same here... got it in April and used it twice... :hrmm:
I always wanted it and it took a year to finally get my hands on it (hard to get in Europe) and I told myself I would just use it no matter what. Fully aware of the corners...
I didn‘t :sad:

but it is not very popular and I would lose half the money of the bag when selling. That is not really an option.

It is SO beautiful and this purple/burgundy interior color is really everything!!! I love that it is not the normal red. :heart:

What will you do?

I might submit pictures of it on Fashionphile and see how much they would quote it for. I know it will be a lot less than what I paid but then again, it would be too much of a waste if it just sits in my closet. I’ll go from there and then I’ll decide whether to keep or sell.

That is so great to hear... I appreciate the insight. :flowers: Do you mind to share a picture of the DA with some patina? I am always curious about how they age!
The bag is so practical and this is why I wanted it in the first place. Thinking of just jumping into it and enjoy ... :panic:

I just wonder what people are doing to their bags when I see Gracefuls and Iénas on resell sites with corners that have no color anymore and torn/rubbed canvas....and then the vachetta is really light :confused1:

@strawberrylemonade08
Please let us know about the quote you get. I just did a little research and have found a DA MM fullset almost brandnew for 750€ (from the website its 1170€) :nuts: I might just have to get over the fear and just enjoy this bag... it always takes some time, but once the bags have their first tiny „flaws“ or little „marks“ its a little relieving to me and I just can use and enjoy... so so so weird :doh: I know....
 
Damier ebene print provides such great autumn vibes, especially combined with burgundy or cherry interior! :girlsigh: :loveeyes: Thanks for sharing!:flowers:
Thank you sweetie! Yes it does!
Only thing: I am constantly checking these stupid folded corners... that kind of takes the fun out of it.
I am trying hard just to love and use it -And live with any wear and tear „the love“ might cause:amuse::heart:
There are more important things for heaven's sake ! :noworry:
 
I was going to buy an Iena pm in DA maybe two years ago before I read anything about the corner issues. I still like the bag, but are the corners that bad? I mean, if you rotate your bags, could they hold up? I still think that a little tote bag in azur would be adorable. :smile:

Well I hope so...I love it so much that I am willing to give it a go. I will let you know if anything happens !

I think that a good idea could be to just rock and enjoy the bag because you really like it! :tup: And in case you discover any corner issues later on, you could either (if you want to keep the bag in your collection either way) ignore them and further enjoy it or (if those things bother you) just stop wearing it, maybe wait for one or two price increases to come, and then sell it! ;-)

Hi,
I just purchased the iena pm in azur. Will mostly use it during spring and summer months although people have mentioned it looks great in winter. Has anyone had issues with dye from clothing transferring to purse? I plan to be careful but wondering if shirts/sweaters can transfer dye as it sits close to body. Thanks
 
Hey girls! After stalking Iena MM in DE for a while, I have been able to order it at the end of May, but the next day the called me and cancelled the order due to the bag being unavailable...

In another thread on this forum, I have seen several posts complaining about the corners' issues on Ienas (like canvas rubbing and peeling off on the corners) and not long-lasting corner quality. To decide, whether it is still worth stalking, I would like to ask you, whether you have experienced any corner issues? Thanks!
I never had issues with the corner wear. Had my Iena MM DE for more than two years and it still looks as good as when I got it
Been a while since I last posted here! Hope everyone's safe and well with the virus still around
