I really like it thus far; but I also honestly haven’t taken it out too much. (Mostly to the patios, an artist market, but not for a full day out.) I can fit my Félicie Card Insert, an LV RCP, iPhone 12 Mini, lip product of the day, mask, and I can rest a pair sunglasses on top if I need to. For me this is DEFINITELY NOT an everyday bag.
BUT. The sticker shock..... oy. This is the most I have ever spent on a bag, and I doubt I will ever do so again. If I did it over again and was on the fence... I might just wait for the trend to calm down and find it preowned in like, 2024.
Re the colour: I have a vintage navy oblique Saddle and do not find either colour feels less summery than the other. I’ll be putting it away in the winter (along with the Saddle) because we get too much salt, sleet and slush here. But no ragrets!
