Should I keep or return a BBag because of it's lighter heat stamp on the back of tag?

Hi all,

I just received my Mogano Flat Messenger from AR (will post a separate thread with pics), but my main question was, do any of you have Bbags with a very light heat stamp instead of the firm and deep heat stamps which are customary? The messenger's heat stamp behind the leather tag is definitely authentic but very lightly imprinted. While it is fine for now, as I will be carrying the purse, in case a few years down the line I decide to part with it I wonder if it will be a deal breaker if the photos won't accurately display authenticity. I also called them and it looks like they don't have any more. What are your thoughts? Would love to hear any advice!

keep all the receipts and cards everything...if possible take pictures now as a record. can you post a pic of the heat stamp so ppl can take a look??

my mom's sahara city has really light stamp behind the tag as well..
but i don't think they will actually go away.. and plus it's not the only way to prove the bag is authentic..
if you can find another same bag, then maybe you can exchange it and feel better. have you looked anywhere else?

My eggplant clutch has very light printed heat-stamp too which I haven't seen in most other bags

Maybe it's a "flaw" once in a long while

I have always bought my bbags for use only........not to sell them down the line.....I have never been anal about these things...if I love the leather/colour etc I will buy the bag....with light stamp OR deep, no biggie to me......I am a user NOT a seller although I can see where you´r e coming from!!

Thanks everyone! I think I will keep it if it is true that the heat stamp is not the sole indicator of authenticity...
