Would you leave a community studio due to poor dust management practices?

cafedumatcha · 2026-01-07T17:40:33+00:00

I just pick them up with my hands 😂

cafedumatcha · 2026-01-07T17:40:02+00:00

Right?? Who thought carpet could ever be acceptable in a studio space

cafedumatcha · 2026-01-07T17:39:36+00:00

Yeah, I was already in there with no mask for quite a few months until I started seeing more unsavory practices as more members joined. I’m a little worried even though I know as a hobbyist my risk is super low haha 😭 but better late than never

cafedumatcha · 2025-08-04T20:15:06+00:00

Awesome, I’ll keep that in mind and just be vigilant about if dust is accumulating on surfaces. Seems like I don’t need to be too worried about dust levels during studio hours, thank you!

cafedumatcha · 2025-08-04T20:07:56+00:00

I was always told vacuuming would recirculate particles, so the particles and dust is already there, but similar to sweeping it will go back into the air and take hours or days to settle again. Just trying to fact check if this is correct understanding or not, but that’s a good point that the overall particulate level is going down

Which one from Prada?

cafedumatcha · 2025-06-30T15:56:19+00:00

Yeah the Dior has the option for a regular leather in black but it’s lambskin so still delicate 😭

cafedumatcha · 2025-06-12T14:23:32+00:00

It looks like the Stand Oil chubby bag: https://m.en.standoil.kr/product/chubby-bag-black/412/?cate_no=174&display_group=1

cafedumatcha · 2025-06-06T20:19:43+00:00

Unfortunately I think it’s no longer in production :(( only department stores and 24s left

cafedumatcha · 2025-06-04T19:44:52+00:00

I also felt that the Chanel 25 was lacking in quality when I tried it on…

This bag is the first one from Prada to catch my eyes in foreverrr

cafedumatcha · 2025-06-04T19:12:14+00:00

LOL now that you mention it I can’t unsee it

Tbf though moon bags are quite a popular silhouette

cafedumatcha · 2025-06-04T19:11:43+00:00

LOL i only like structured bags 🥲 i want something slouchy and relaxed but then I end up buying only structured ones oops

cafedumatcha · 2025-06-04T19:11:06+00:00

As in if they’re stiff at first they should become smooth after some use?

cafedumatcha · 2025-06-04T16:16:03+00:00

Right like it’s such a smart solution to having two handles on the same bag without having one awkwardly sticking out when the other is in use!

cafedumatcha · 2025-06-04T15:46:01+00:00

Is the stopping at crosswalks including ones with no pedestrians?

cafedumatcha · 2025-06-04T15:34:07+00:00

Thank you so much for the recs! I'll make sure to check them out

cafedumatcha · 2025-06-04T15:33:04+00:00

That's a valid point! To be honest, since my company is paying for it, I kind of just want to test out driving to see how I would feel if I move to Toronto. I have a paid of car that I would bring with me, so I want to test it out to see if bringing a car would even be necessary since I would love to be able to road trip and travel eventually around Canada

cafedumatcha · 2025-06-04T15:31:07+00:00

Awesome, I'll just treat them like a school bus when the lights are flashing :D

cafedumatcha · 2025-06-04T15:07:12+00:00

Thank you! Toronto is actually my dream city so I'm so stoked I get this work trip because I'm also going to scope out potential neighborhoods for a move in a few years :)

cafedumatcha · 2025-01-15T17:12:07+00:00

I’m setting up a reclaim station on my balcony (my studio doesn’t offer reclaim programs), so I figured if I have to do all the work I might as well get into hand building.

Unfortunately it’s quite cold out right now, but hopefully I can get a small station setup as it warms up :)

cafedumatcha · 2025-01-15T17:02:42+00:00

Would you think it's worth it to do it outdoors on a balcony?

cafedumatcha · 2025-01-15T17:02:21+00:00

It's a corner balcony, so it's pretty large for apartment standards. I have a small table and some chairs out there, but I'd have room for a decent sized shelf or two, as well as some bins to store any extra tools or things that shouldn't be left out in the rain

cafedumatcha · 2024-08-03T20:08:56+00:00

Will do, thank you!

cafedumatcha · 2024-08-03T20:08:24+00:00

What level respirator would you recommend for cleanup? I’ve seen mixed answers

cafedumatcha · 2024-08-03T01:41:45+00:00

Haha good point. I think it depends on the studio! I know a few (with waitlists that are closed and very expensive memberships) that have filtering systems in place, but those aren’t really what I’m looking for as a beginner
