Hint regarding storing the Valerie. Detach the straps when you store the bag. That way you will avoid having them curl when the bag slouches in your closet. I have a Valerie from years ago, and I keep the straps stored inside the bag.

Thats a great idea. I don't think I would have thought of that.
Received my NWT mini zebra Juliette last night! She's in perfect condition! And she has the leather leash! But the trade off is she was made before all the new compartments so there is only a small cell phone pocket (that I'm using for my Coach card case), and a small zipper pocket (that I'm using for my MK card case, and cash). There's room for my red pouch, which holds hand wipes, lens cleaners, Neosporin, lipstick, and lip moisturizer. I knew the crossbody strap would be too long because I don't carry my bags crossbody. I meant to bring back my red Dillen strap from my pocket satchel but I forgot it in Oakland. I'm using my saffiano strap and it's working well. You'd have to stare pretty hard to see the difference in the leathers. Today will be our first outing. We're going to the bank, grocery store, and of course Starbucks!
Adorable. I have her bid sister. I bought it years ago and enjoyed carrying her a lot.Received my NWT mini zebra Juliette last night! She's in perfect condition! And she has the leather leash!

Thanks LJ! Getting this made me think of her big sister for when I need a bigger bag.

That's a classic bag! Love it!
Miss Portofino Valerie is Crimson does not dissapoint!!! She is awesome. I won't carry her everyday, she is huge. But at 60% off, she is worth the buy. I will mostly use her on trips and long days out. I'm heading to Dallas soon, so I think she will be my carryon personal bag for that trip. Love[emoji7] [emoji173] [emoji173] [emoji173]
Hi BW!
YAY! She's a keeper! I had a nylon Valerie a few years ago that I thought would be my everyday bag and the size prevented her from being that, so I know what you mean. But she's a great carry on/trip bag!
Congrats!
I'm glad she is a winner for you. I love the color and the style is great.
My new crossbody in light blue has arrived! There were several shades of light blues but I'm happy with this. I wanted a light bright color for spring and summer but not pure white. In bright sun it's close to a white blue. Since this is convertible I wonder if I can remove the attachment and put it on my satchel. I'll have to experiment.
Got it from the ILD sale for $100! Emmy approves.
