It suits you. The leather is incredible. <br /><br />I tried it in Paris several years ago and it really is wonderful. The only thing that left me questioning was the weight. It&#39;s really heavy, but I find Hermes the same way when I steal my moms and carry it around all day.

I sold one of my 2.55 to fund this bag in PM size last year and honestly, no regrets! It is so beautifully made!:) I am only 5&#39;1 and the size is just perfect with lots of room left. I guess I carry very light.<br /><br />&quot;the SC bag is the perfect bag. it is one of those dream items that in real life looks exactly like how you imagine it.&quot;<br /><br />I totally agree with your comment and while doing research on TPF, some members commented that the leather is close to Hermes leather. Would you agree? <br /><br />Love yr blog by the way!justeileenhttp://justeileen.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-46986735919166080832012-02-04T01:43:58.433+08:002012-02-04T01:43:58.433+08:00Love it.

Congratulations! I saw the SC several times in the Paris métro but it was worn in such a prissy way that I couldn&#39;t appreciate its understated cool quality. I think it was Karl Lagerfeld who said something along the lines that if you can&#39;t afford to let your (Chanel) bag be ruined than you shouldn&#39;t own one. I feel that it&#39;s quite true, a lux bag shouldn&#39;t be worn with extra care but extra cool! :)) <br />Jeans, sweater, flats that&#39;s exacty how I see it teamed with.<br />One thing I wonder is about the weight of the bag. Isn&#39;t it tedious to hold it over the shoulder with all your stuff inside?Aïssahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17200586147804815951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-31841701418653805252012-02-01T11:30:39.248+08:002012-02-01T11:30:39.248+08:00Longtime reader here (first-time commenter)! Under your &quot;shop&quot; category, I wasn&#39;t able to access but a few of your favorite shop links. (In your Hermes Kelly thread, you mentioned that you have linked to some of your favorite online vintage-luxe retailers but I didn&#39;t see any of these particular links. I wasn&#39;t sure if the links were no longer posted or if I need to change settings on my computer.<br /><br />I&#39;m actually so hesitant to buy pre-owned/vintage luxury goods online, for fear of purchasing fakes. Reputable dealers/stores recommended by people like you would be immensely helpful. And Ebay is a whole other story--I just fear that I would be scammed... <br /><br />I enjoy your blog, thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-8946552958238954872012-01-31T22:14:44.346+08:002012-01-31T22:14:44.346+08:00yep - thankfully i only have a few of those....miss sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09427223953623415005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-47030548280550091662012-01-31T14:54:16.599+08:002012-01-31T14:54:16.599+08:00you&#39;re welcome! hopefully this post will be helpful for SC fans who want to see the bag IRL. i remember not being able to find any blog posts about the SC when i was considering getting it!<br /><br />as for buying pre-owned, only buy from a legit retailer with a 100% guarantee on their merchandise. you HAVE to do your homework and as much online research as possible. some people also asked about this downthread in my post last year:<br /><br />http://www.lesantimodernes.com/2011/06/lust-and-found-vintage-hermes-kelly-bag.htmlmiss sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09427223953623415005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-64402244141131122782012-01-31T14:44:44.422+08:002012-01-31T14:44:44.422+08:00oh, i&#39;ve made plenty of purchase mistakes over the years! it&#39;s slowly gotten better as i&#39;ve started blogging and seriously editing down my wardrobe. but it&#39;s definitely a long process/project :Pmiss sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09427223953623415005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-8947876693835512852012-01-31T14:33:41.737+08:002012-01-31T14:33:41.737+08:00hehe...how is *your* amazing Celine box bag these days? are you getting a ton of wear out of it?miss sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09427223953623415005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-58074158731948228692012-01-31T14:32:05.778+08:002012-01-31T14:32:05.778+08:00yes it&#39;s definitely got all the design improvements over the speedy! i think LV is really trying to compete with Hermes with a bag like the SC. it&#39;s there are so many other luxury bags in the same range that are meh, IMO.miss sophiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09427223953623415005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-88550546295834368752012-01-31T14:16:26.554+08:002012-01-31T14:16:26.554+08:00I&#39;m very curious about buying pre-owned; how do you make sure you&#39;re not getting a fake?
