New Sapphire with STAIN. Help! (pix)

kellykelly · Jun 14th, 2008, 11:24 PM

I just got my first balenciaga today and just found that there is a stain! :( Can you guys see it? I think it is huge and ugly. :( Or is all balenciaga leather like this?

Another thing I am not sure about is leather. Is it too distressed?

Should I return this and wait for another one? When I purchased this, the SA was kinda giving me pressure so i did not look at the bag carefully. My fault. :(

You mean the patch on the front under the pocket zipper??
Honestly I would return it, they are not cheap and you should really be happy with the bag. I don't think that is normal for a new bag. Insist that the SA calls around to find a replacement for you if you love the color and style.

Eww... i dislike pressuring SA's .. that's such a turn off.. definitely GO exchange or return it, and don't take no for an answer.

Thanks, KayMomto3 & oogiewoogie. I am so disappointed! I drove 1 hour to get this bag! Does it look too bad?

I don't see it. What part are you worried about?

imonpurseblog- the patch on the front right under the pocket zipper. Maybe it is not a big deal?

Okay, thanks...I see it now, you called it a stain but on my monitor it looked lighter there. Hmm, if it bugs you, I'd definitely exchange it. I have a small lighter spot on one of my bags and it would definitely bug me more if it were bigger. I do think it's a characteristic of some of the leathers since I've seen it more than once.

I think you need to think it over and see if you feel different in a day or two.

It might be fixed with a dab of conditioner? If you don't feel comfy with that, I'd say return/exchange it.

I could see the "ugly" spot right away.

Return it. If it isn't love at first sight then you should return it and get one that is. You are spending too much money to "settle" or have to fix it.

omg..i didn't even notice it at first. i don't know..if it bothers you..exchange it quick!:)

Return or exchange it! It is not right for you to suffer in this huge dilemma when you have paid such a hefty price for it! take the hour drive and go

you'll be a much happier person thereafter :)

I don´t see it well. But if it bothers you, then you should go to exchange it.

chinkee21 · Jun 15th, 2008, 02:05 AM

Yep, return it for another one that you are happy with! The leather on this is gorgeous though, I love how even the distressing is.

The stain is right up there. It looks quite vieny to me. Return it and wait for another one.
