I got two packages today! My violet clayton and my patent wallet and the coin case! Every piece is perfect! The clayton shipped from the warehouse and arrived wrapped up Fort Knox style. His leather looks wonderful. Very uniform. The wallet and coin case shipped from the outlet and was nicely and appropriately wrapped.

Cannot believe I have 3 nice wallets at one time! These will last me for many years! And a designated coin case! So excited.

Love Ms Clayton and love the wallets and coin case! I need that patent one pronto!
 
I got the suede satchel today and it's already packed up to return. :tdown: I swear, this is the thinnest suede I have ever seen. The bag is a limp mess and folds into a beige puddle when the stuffing is removed. I do like the color, though. It is light weight but has one of those very thin shoulder straps. Back it goes!

One other BIG thing is that the front panel of suede is a lighter shade than the back of the bag. It's not noticeable unless viewing from the side, but still annoying. You can sort of tell from this pic, but it's more obvious IRL.

Too bad something this pretty is a dud.:shucks:

Even violet Clayton's look like "Mr."'s (that punctuation really confused me) I really want one of those cute little coin cases.
 
Thank you!

The drawstring is scheduled to arrive next Tuesday. That will be the last. I thought man was going to bust a coronary when he saw the two boxes on the porch today. We had to have a talk and came to an understanding. A fair understanding. I have enough for now and need to lay off. I agree and am happy with the massive bounty I have accrued. Until my time comes again, I will live vicariously through your all's purchases!

The only thing that stinks like a wild hog is that he doesn't know about the drawstring.

Girl, you better tell him about that bacon that's already frying in the pan. I don't know a man that can resist bacon!:biggrin:

LOL. I want you to know that I will be using that phrase from now on! That's awesome!

However in regards to said bacon, my technique I use to get through stressful situations is to be an ostrich. I will have my head in the sand, pretending all is well until all hell breaks loose then I make a break for it. In other words, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Okay....Dillen is here ! I'm having an issue though ;( the girl promised me the bag was pristine...and she basically is ...except the leather is dry...the. Kloe looks like it's fading and I don't know what to do about it. The bag doesn't look like it's been worn once ...maybe she had it stored away for a long time ?? Anyway here are some pix.... Can I put conditioner on the leather ??? I know it's a risk I took buying from someone but still :sad: any advice appreciated !

I am so jealous of that pink dillen style of satchel! It's gorgeous!

As far as the drying, I can see a little of of what you speak of on the handle in one of the pictures. I know how difficult it is to capture the details you want to show. As far as the leather conditioner type and if you should apply to the dillen, I will leave to more knowledgable persons because I'm not sure when it comes to the dillen. I just know I use Apple conditioner on my Florentines.
 
Yup....I have some conditioner I use on my flos too... I would only put it on the tan trim because that's where it's dry .

But as far as the rest if the bag goes...she's so pretty :smile: it's pink...but I've convinced myself it's a "fall" pink lol
