Miu Miu F/W 06 bags - Coffer et al

[Handbag lover]

Is the Coffer heavy to carry around? like the paddington

 

[Guessgirl96]

^ It's a little bit heavy but not as heavy as the paddington I'd say

 

[Cicciolina]

Yeah it's not as heavy as most other bags that are around these days with all the hardware.

I was looking at that bag a few days ago. But I think they only had the very large version left. It was a bit tooooo big. I got this one from my boyfriend, in a darker brown;

neimans.

I really dislike coffer, it's unbeliavble how quick the fakes came. I don't even consider it an it-bag and there's like 10000 fakes on ebay.

 

[MJCouture]

^well it is def. an 'it' bag, its incredibly popular. and its been out since late Summer 06, so its not that quick for fakes to come out.

meh..i bought mine last august and i swear i carried it twice..i bought it before i even knew it was an it bag...but i thought it was cute and my friend told me how much of a bargain it is (yes, anything less than 1000 euros nowadays is a bargain)..maybe i should carry it again..

 

[Guessgirl96]

uniq, how did yours hold up? I also got the creme and mine turned blue after one wear no matter how much protectant I sprayed on it. I just accepted that the back will turn blue and I'm kind of ok with it since no one can see that part anyways. The rest of the bag is ok. I dont have problems with any of my other light bags, just this one, the leather is so fragile.

Do you like the new green version of the Coffer?

[Beautiful Stranger]

It's cuter than the regular.

 

[stilettogirl84]

I love that color

 

[Guessgirl96]

I like it too

 

[PrincessImp.]

Love the new green coffer!

 

[Cicciolina]

It's quite nice, it'll be versatile. I hate the velvet printed Coffers :S

GuessGirl I have a cream coffer too, I've only used it twice though and very carefully as well, it seems to be alright so far. I've used a microfibre eraser (the brand's called Magic Eraser) here in Australia to wipe off scuffs and it seems to be working well for me What sort of protectant did you spray on yours? I'm afraid of the colour changing if I spray something on it

 

[Guessgirl96]

Thanks for the magic eraser idea! I'll try it out. I've been using apple leather protectant avalible at http://leatherstuff.com , it darkens the leather at first but it dries in like 20 min and goes back to it's original color.

giving this a little bump

I'm trying to decide between the brown suede and the black leather coffer so I'm trying to get as many opinions as possible..

Which do you guys think I should get/which do you think is better?

 

[mundodabolsa]

I think the black leather is a little less expected, like most of the celebs I feel had the brown suede. or maybe I just like black

 

[Guessgirl96]

chrissy, I preffer the black leather. I really dont like the shade of brown on the suede
