My name is Ludmilla, I am a purse addict and long time lurker on this subforum.
Two years ago I fell in love with the Flo Satchel, but D&B is not available in my country. I thought that I would never own that bag. Yes, there is internet shopping, but somehow I never pulled the trigger and kept drooling over tpf pics and youtube videos.
Fast forward to last Wednesday. There was a surprise box in the mail. From really really kind and dear friends in the US (who happen to know about my Flo crush). In this box sat my dream bag as a thank-you-gift.

The leather is so smooth and silky. I am completely over the moon with her and I still cannot believe that she is mine. I am a lucky girl.

Thank you so much for the bag love! Yes, they are wonderful friends. I am lucky to know them.Welcome!!! And what wonderful friends!!! Your bag is divine, so beautiful!!!!!
Thank you so much for the welcome and for sharing my excitement. I have to stare at Flo several times a day, because I cannot believe that she is really here with me.Welcome Ludmilla!
What a beautiful debut for your first post in this forum! I can feel your excitement and I'm so excited for you! We know what it's like to long for a bag and to finally receive it. Your friends are very nice to give you such a beautiful and thoughtful gift. And if it's a thank you gift it sounds like you are a wonderful friend to them to!
I hope you love carrying Ms. Flo for many years!
Thank you so much for your wonderful infos! I am going to search the forum for more.Congratulations. Enjoy your new treasure. The natural Florentine Satchel is a beauty and your friends are so thoughtful to get you the handbag and the matching wallet.
Natural Florentine leather can be a little delicate. It can pick up color transfer from rubbing against clothing and can develop stains from rain or other liquids. If you search the forum you will find the experiences of others as well as information on how some of the ladies pre-treat their Florentine handbags to minimize problems. I can't recommend you do or don't pre-treat... there are plusses and minuses....but at least you will be informed and can make your own choice.
Personally, I don't pretreat, but I baby my natural Flo. I hand carry, so it doesn't rub against clothing. And I never take it out in the rain.
Thank you!Absolutely beautiful! Congrats and enjoy your new bag.
Beautiful bag! I didn't pretreat my natural flo but I do keep a plastic bag inside in case it rains.Hello ladies!
