Is this SPY worth keeping?

marcandchloe · Jan 4th, 2008, 06:01 PM

I need an opinion. I just received this Sienna Nappa Fendi SPY from BlueFly today. I do not doubt the authenticity of the bag, but I question the quality. There is a loose thread as shown in the picture. I paid $1660 for it. Is it worth keeping?

Litigatrix · Jan 4th, 2008, 06:22 PM

really, that would not bother me at all. but it's up to you. i think it's a beautiful bag.

I agree with Liti. It is a beautiful bag. The one particular stitch wouldn't bother me much. What color is it? The sienna looks like honey to me. It's absolutely gorgeous. Thanks.

i think it may be the rust spy

BalenciagaLove · Jan 4th, 2008, 06:46 PM

Oooh, the elusive rust.... It is quite a lovely rich color. It is quite a beauty.

BlueFly has the color Sienna in the item description. The Fendi card has Borsa spy nappa nuvolata/naturale +oro + pallad. The loose thread only bothers me because it's a brand new bag, and the discount on it was not that great. I'm glad I have 30 days to think about keeping it.

Have you called BlueFly and tell them about that? They would probably give you an additional 10% off.

ok, if it says "naturale" then it is honey after all! the other day someone got a bag from Net A Porter, and i thought it was honey and it turned out to be rust. they look basically the same to me, so whatevs.

i agree with balenciagalove -- call BlueFly and ask them for an additional discount. the standard is really not that great. they often have additional 10% off sale days as well as 10% or 15% off coupons, so I don't think they should flinch on giving you an additional percentage off.

That's a pretty color!

I wouldn't return it just of that stitch, but if you paid almost full price, def. call them for an exchange or discount!

I agree w/ everybody else, it never hurts to call and ask for additional % off. It is a gorgeous color!!!

True, it can't hurt. Does the stitching look like more will come out? I'm fairly new to spy bags but I think the price you got is pretty good.

I called BlueFly and they offered a measly $20 for the repair credit. I did not accept it, because that would make the sales FINAL. I will try to overlook the loose thread. It is a gorgeous bag overall. I still have a lot of time to make my decision.

baglady.1 · Jan 4th, 2008, 08:33 PM

The bag is gorgeous, are you nuts?

BTBF · Jan 5th, 2008, 12:33 AM

I don't think it's the loose thread...maybe you just don't like the bag itself.

KMSNYC · Jan 5th, 2008, 12:53 AM

I don't think you should keep it... I think you should give it to ME!

Kidding aside, I think it's beautiful. But you have to love it! You got a good deal on it, but it's not impossible to get a good deal on a spy these days... so if you're not in love with it, send it back and find one that's perfect for you.
