OMGGG I LOVE IT and the labubu <3 There are 2 options on the website, I'm guessing yours is the smooth leather? Do you have any problems with scratchings or marks? Do you wear it in the evenings or take it out at night?

Yes, I think it's considered a smooth leather. Or at least a very fine grained leather.
I don't really have issues or concerns with wear and tear. I'm relatively new to smooth leather bags and that was a concern that held me back from buying them for years. But I took the plunge last year with this bag and haven't had any issues.

However, I'm not a particularly picky or detail oriented person and I do not baby my bags.
There are very minor scuffs on it but unless someone looked at it closely, they're not that noticeable to me.
This is one of the few bags I will not put on the ground (others I don't mind, especially if they have feet). That's my way of being more careful I guess lol.

I wear it pretty much whenever. It's not a go-to evening bag for more formal events. (would not take it to a red carpet, gala or evening wedding) But I will take it on a casual night out like dinner with friends or date with the husband depending on the restaurant and my outfit.
It is something you do kind of need to keep on your lap though (if there's no where to put it) and make sure it doesn't slip due to the smooth texture. But I have no problem leaving it on a chair next to me, hanging on a hook (some dining tables have that), or taking the more long "couch" benches to put it on.

Thank you for your detailed response, literally answered all my questions and doubts! I tried both on today and preferred the softer-grained leather, just cause it was comfier to wear and my SA said it's more durable. I might give it a shot with a smooth leather and get a Chanel lambskin cluth with chain. Still confused haaha but thanks for all the help!
 
Hi guys, just wanted to update you all! I finally got a burgundy bag, just wanted to share some pics ☺️ My mum surprised me with this custom Siamese crocodile piece! It’s not a luxury designer brand but checks all my boxes and super happy with it! If I were to get a designer burgundy shoulder bag, would have definitely gone with the Gucci Jackie, literal perfection. Thank you all for your suggestions, truly love this forum 🥰💗
