I have the medium envelope black with shw. I love it but the chain is a little short for me since I want to wear it crossbody - it’s 21.25 and the perfect crossbody length for me is 23in. But I can settle for 22.5. Either way, I emailed leather surgeons and they said they can’t lengthen the chain. Any recommendations for other places to try? Thanks!

I'm considering getting this bag in marble pink. Could any of you that have this in the lighter colors speak to possible color transfer? Like should I be worried about wearing this with jeans and such?

I haveit in the poudre and it takes care but the leather is pretty hardy. I had a big day and night with it and woke up to ink stains - easily taken off with hairspray . Much easier than a calf leather to maintain

Hairspray for ink stains? What sorcery is this??!?
But really, do you find yourself baby-ing this bag due to the color? Or is it generally a care-free leather? I really wanted this for spring/summer but I'm not a fan of having to baby purses. :doh:

Does the medium envelope bag come in chevron quilting all over, rather than the two different types of quilting? Found a large one on their website but can’t see smaller sizes ?

I love this bag but unsure about the two types of quilting on the same bag

@ncabahug - I googled it and it had good reviews so tried it and it worked! I had tried babywipes and rubbing it with some leather cleaner but it did not budge. Hairspray worked. Not sure if this would be good for all leather but worked on this occasion.

Mine is just the plain chevron quilting in the medium. Perhaps give the store a call and check, maybe just out of stock for a while?

I’ve had the large envelope without the mixed chevrons for 3 years and I love it. Hasn’t been worn a lot but it’s still in perfect condition. The problem I have with it is the snap closure. Seems difficult at times when closing it but other than that I have no issues.
