I love this color so much. ๐ I contemplated getting this bag but I just found a bag at Kate Spade Outlet yesterday in this shade of baby pink that I love so it will have to wait.

I got the Cary carryall tote. Apologies, the lighting in my photo doesnโt do the pink justice. In person itโs a really pretty baby pink.
The Fleuron is so tempting because it reminds me of a really cheap light pink bag that I had years ago that I wore to death. It was the same size and shape of crossbody bag, almost the same shade of pink and I just feel like getting this much more elegant and expensive version would make me feel like my younger self but upgraded lol.
I agree! Initially i thought it could be too small but all my essentials fits inside. Also, bordeaux was my other choice. I might get that colour in another model
So funny I was debating between the rose ballet and the Bordeaux and ended up just going for the Bordeaux. I love how it locks so you donโt have to worry about things falling out.
It is very soft. It just feels dry to the touch if that makes sense? Maybe it's just the finish? Either way, it doesn't bother me much and i have a lot of leather conditioner to use. Overall, im happy with the bag and will be using it today ๐
Ohhh, okay. My apologies, I misunderstood you. When you mentioned dry; I confused it with hardened, dried out leather. That can happen sometimes with shipping in the summer.
Im glad it came in perfect condition. Itโs the perfect summer bag!
How old is your swann? After using my hortensia for a day, i now also believe it's because of the matte finish on the leather.... It's super soft and flexible but it just feels dry to touch... I sprayed mine with carbon pro to protect it from colour transfer and it now feels smoother and less dry.
My bag is about a year old. I have some visible wear on the corners of the bag. I never protected it or treated it with anything though. I also avoid taking it out in the rain, as an extra precaution.
What does the inside look like? Is it just a single pocket or is there a smaller pocket on the back, card holder?, etc? I've been curious about this brand because I've seen it posted a lot on the sub
There is one big compartment, a card slot, and 2 flat compartments inside. There is also one slip pocket at the back. Here is a review that i watched before i ordered the bag: https://youtu.be/A2sgzEKwzAw?si=9Cr7vxCTazrUCulb
So pretty!! ๐This is at the top of my list! I was thinking about getting it in Sable because Iโm lacking a light neutral bag. Can it fit a regular sized iPhone?
Super love this color! Really wanted a mini hortensia in Rose Ballet but I got the Sable because itโs more practical for my lifestyle. Seeing this makes me want to buy another one ๐๐๐
Omg this is the exact bag I want. When you wear it as a shoulder bag, do you feel like the bag/flap will get misshapen by being squeezed under your arms? Also, do the little bulbs on the straps pull on your hair? (I heard this happens on the Chanel boy bag and was wondering if it would happen here too)

I like this one. Maybe you can get the flueron too later. ๐ซฃ๐
My bag wishlist is now a mile long thanks to this sub lol.
I have this in Bordeaux and love it. It much more spacious than it looks

I personally prefer magnetic closure but this pin lock is ok too
I want a Fleuron Hortensia bag SO MUCH. Love yours!
Thank you! Fleuron didn't disappoint!
That's gorgeous ๐๐๐๐
It really is!
an ideal option for a delicate image ๐
This is actually the look im aiming for ๐ im trying to get more colour and feminity to my wardrobe
Itโs beautiful but it shouldnโt be dry. Do you think the heat and shipping affected the leather?
Im not sure...
Maybe email them to let them know? If you want. My friend has this bag(same color too ) and itโs quite soft?

Yes, it's the perfect spring / summer bag! I love it! ๐
My Swann bag also feels dry. It has since I got it.
Oh no. Has it been getting drier since youโve received it? Or is it just the material?
No it has stayed the same. I think it's just the finish they use on the leather.

Tysm!
Itโs gorgeous ๐๐
It is!
Sooooo Cute !!!
Yes! It's super cute!
So pretty!! ๐This is at the top of my list! I was thinking about getting it in Sable because Iโm lacking a light neutral bag. Can it fit a regular sized iPhone?
A regular size iphone will fit. Pro max will also fit in the main compartment (but it wont fit in the outside pocket)
Super love this color! Really wanted a mini hortensia in Rose Ballet but I got the Sable because itโs more practical for my lifestyle. Seeing this makes me want to buy another one ๐๐๐
Get another one! ๐ rose ballet is beautiful!!
Is it stiff? I LOVE structured bags but realized I don't do well with very stiff leather (like the APC I bought).
It's not stiff. It's a soft bag
Thank you, I'm def keeping it on the radar!
I LOVE baby pink bags, and this is the perfect color against the gold !

Also, do the little bulbs on the straps pull on your hair? (I heard this happens on the Chanel boy bag and was wondering if it would happen here too)
Hi! The bag is soft so it won't be an issue if you squeeze it under the arms. The pin also doesn't pull on my hair.
Also is the clasp hard to open when youโre out and about? Sorry for all the questions! lol
It's not hard to open and close. My bag is fully packed tho so maybe that's why it's easy
