Seconding recommendations for Epi for Petit Malle and Alma! Those are my two Epi bags and I think they suit them perfectly, especially the petit Malle. My petit Malle is silver with black trim and it is just so gorgeous (and hard wearing!) as for the Alma, I have a beautiful neon lime-yellow and the colour just pops in Epi.
Oh wow it sounds like we have similar tastes! If there had been silver when I got mine, that's what I would've picked too! And love highlighter yellow-green.

I have something to contribute if you’re still debating. Alma all the way. This is a picture of my 8 year old Alma MM that was HEAVILY used as a work bag pre Covid. Now that I work from home … she hasn’t been used in a few years so I finally got the BB. But look at my MM - it’s been used tons, and is pristine. I don’t overly baby, but I definitely don’t toss it around. Best wear and tear ever. I guess the only difference is the new one seems a little duller. image.jpg

I love this! Your Almas are gorgeous! My Epi Alma BB is one of my favorites.

Hello there!
I am cutrently on the hunt for a Neverfull epi and found a perfect match, but i am worried about the folds in it. I believe it was stored folded for a longer period of time and I am wondering now if I will manage to get them out.
Also the side lining on the outside of the bag seems to have changed due to the way of storing the bag…what do you think? For reference I put a picture of a Neverfull epi in shape(red) so you can see the difference in the lining.
Thanks for any help <3

The navy one looks like heavily used and not well maintained. The fusia one looks much better.

Yes the navy one is from 2013, and it was folded (like a longchamp pliage I guess) but there are no scratches whatsoever. Apart from the folding it is in a brilliant condition. Do you think it will regain its form when I stuff it etc.? Or can I actually do anything to reshape it? :smile:
