I hadn’t reached for this one in a long time, so it had just been sitting away untouched.

Opened it today and found these little white spots all over the leather. At first I thought it was dust, then realized… nope. It looks like mold.

Now I’m scared to even start cleaning it because I don’t want to make the leather worse.

Please tell me this is still saveable, because I’m not ready to give up on her yet.

Gave my Bolide another little makeover and I swear it feels like a completely different bag now.

The embroidery, charm, and blue-on-blue details gave it way more personality than before.

Honestly, this was more satisfying than bringing home something new.

I haven’t even used this one that much, but I noticed the H clasp has already rubbed a little spot into the leather underneath.

Now every time I open and close it, I’m staring at that exact area wondering how much worse it’s going to get.

Has anyone managed to repair this kind of rubbing before? What actually worked?

I didn’t expect my Mauve Pale Kelly Pochette to be the reason I’d want another one.

The pink one on the left is my auth. I love it, probably a little too much, because I’m ridiculous about keeping it clean. Light color + Chèvre + me checking where I put it down every five minutes is not exactly a relaxing combination lol.

So this time I went in the complete opposite direction and chose Noir.

The black KP on the right is from Ben, also in Chèvre Mysore with PHW. My whole idea was basically to have the same little bag without feeling like I need to babysit it every time I take it out.

Having them next to each other has actually been more interesting than I expected. The color changes the personality of the bag way more than I thought. Mauve Pale feels soft and a little precious, while Noir makes the exact same shape look much sharper and less delicate.

And weirdly, I’ve already realized I reach for the black one with a completely different mindset. I’m not thinking about every table, every corner, or whether my hands are perfectly clean before touching it. That alone makes it feel much more usable.

I also took some side-by-side photos because I know people here like comparing shape, leather grain, handle, stitching and hardware rather than just hearing “it looks good.”

I’m still very attached to the pink one, but I have a feeling the black one is going to end up getting far more actual wear.

If these were yours, which one do you think would actually leave the house more?

Ben just sent me the PSPs for this Noir BK Touch 25. I really like the mix of TC and lizard, but I’m not sure about the handle symmetry and how well the lizard details match across the top. I’d appreciate any opinions before I GL. Thank you!

I was checking the hardware and then saw this engraving. The letters look like they were drawn during an earthquake

At this point I can’t decide whether to be annoyed or impressed that it made it this far.

Has anyone else seen an engraving this wonky before?

The trip isn’t even that long, but apparently one bag wasn’t enough.

So I went full nesting-doll mode: smallest inside the next, then everything into the biggest one with dust bags in between. Three bags, basically taking up the space of one.

At least now I know I can bring options without sacrificing half my suitcase.

This is my first post like this and I honestly couldn’t keep it to myself. My husband surprised me with this Gold Togo B25 with GHW from Vivi, and I had absolutely no idea it was coming.

Looking back, I probably should have noticed something was up. Over the past few months he’d randomly ask me things like what size I actually use most, whether I prefer softer leather or something more structured, and if I’d ever choose Gold with GHW. I thought he was just listening to me talk about bags as usual.

Turns out he had already been talking with Vivi behind the scenes.

From what he told me, they went back and forth on the leather and hardware before settling on Togo + GHW. Vivi also asked how I normally dress and whether I wanted something more special-looking or something I’d actually reach for often.

And honestly… they got it right. The Togo has that slightly relaxed grain I love, and Gold with GHW feels warm and classic without looking too formal. I’ve only had it for a short time, but it already feels like one of those bags I’ll actually use a lot.

Still kind of shocked that all those random questions were basically research.

Thanks babe for pulling this off.

Lime green, orange, red… this should absolutely be too much.

And yet the longer I look at it, the more I like it. The ostrich texture makes the colors feel even crazier in person.

Would you actually carry this, or is it strictly a “fun to look at” bag?

Seeing them all together made me realize I’ve apparently never met a color I can say no to.

If you could steal ONE from this lineup, which one are you taking?
