I LOVE this! I have the same strap and clutch too, now kind of wishing I ordered the cooper instead of the duffle. I'm too short to use the novelty strap with the duffles, but I think I could make it work with the cooper.

The duffle is a great choice though. It's definitely more me, but I couldn't stop thinking about this Cooper. I wonder if it would be short enough on the duffle if you connected directly vs using the dogleash clips? On Cooper it hangs just below my hip bone, vs below the knee on the duffle, but I didn't try it without the clips.

Hmmmmm...I didn't even think of taking off the string. Does it come off easily & how?? That was the one thing I didn't like about the bag. I may have to reconsider but I will have to order online as I can't get into the store today to check it out. Thanks for sharing! It's a beautiful set!

If I can remove the string anyone can. I don't girl well at all. I did take a picture so I would remember the direction in case I wanted to put back on, but you basically slip the strings through the slot. Easy peesy.

Lol pardon the clutter on the table. Lol it's my birthday weekend, I'm not in charge.

Have you tried to moisturize this bag? I just purchased a Rodarte clutch from the bay and want to moisturize it. I think if I use a makeup brush to get in the areas around the sequins, it would work - a new clean makeup brush, of course! Just wondering how people are caring for these Rodarte pieces where you have a mix of flat smooth leather and then the sequins.

I've never tried to moisturize this one, seems like too much work lol. I think if I ever do I will just stick to the areas without sequins.

I would agree. I would moisturize the back and sides. I do not know how the moisturizer will affect the sequins.

Does the bag look and feel dull and dry? Or are you just concerned that the leather sequins might lift or curl and dry out? I don't have a bag with leather sequins, but I would be cautious about using any creamy or pasty leather products because it might build up and look nasty.

When I have a delicate leather bag to clean or moisturize, I tend to use Lexol products - they are thin and light-weight and work well on many different leathers in my experience. Lexol does have a bit of a smell but it fades quickly.

You could also try posting your questions in the Rehab and Rescue thread to get some additional opinions, good luck!

The sequins are leather. I just sprayed my Rodarte with Apple Garde spray and it’s been fine.

Actually, it is the background leather and not the sequins. I probably wouldn't bother with the sequins. Way too tedious even for me to tackle! The background leather seems like it could like some moisturizer and I see a few faint wrinkles. I think I will try the Lexol and apply with a makeup brush to just get where I want it to be. it really isn't bad but was just wondering what people were doing with this type of bag. Thanks for ideas everyone!

Lexol also offers their leather conditioner in a spray bottle, see link below. You could try "misting" the bag (in a well-ventilated area) and then use a small brush or Q-tips to get the moisturizer into small areas.

Just a word of caution, I have used Lexol conditioner on many different bags and I've have never had any problems - it seems a good "light conditioner" and I especially like it for bags with pebbled or textured surfaces - but it is always a good idea to "test" a product first, on an area of the bag that doesn't show.
