Westfield Question...opinions needed!!

bekahashlea · Jul 7th, 2008, 05:06 PM

Hi Everyone!

I'm Bekah and i'm new to this website, but i have been reading everyone's posts and you guys are great with advice and information!! I have been a L.A.M.B Lover FOREVER now, and my collection seems to be getting bigger by the minute... (my poor bank account) :)
Anyways, i have a little LAMB situation i need some opinions on: I recently bought a Westfield bag in Lipstick Saddle (it's GORGEOUS!!) from eLuxury. It came beautifully wrapped in all the plastic and i'm almost certain it has never been used. Well i was going to load all my stuff in it the other day, and i noticed that right below the magnetic clasp on the front, the white stripe is wrinkling :( . You know that look something gets when it wasnt smoothed out when it was being glued? Looks like that. I'm not sure what to do?!! I think the bag is SO beautiful and i know i wont be able to buy it anywhere else, and i got a good deal on it...but it bugs me!! Is this something that happens to all the bags? Should i just ignore it and keep it? I'm sure it's probably something only i would notice, but i want some educated opinions on this!! Sorry for the super long post!!! What do you ladies think??

Hi Bekah and welcome to the forum!

Wrinkling of the stripe is fairly common, even for new bags. My mother ordered a LS Westfield from Saks packaged the same as yours and it had wrinkling on the stripe too.

All my L.A.M.B.'s (even the cosmetic cases) have wrinkling on the stripe to some extent but it's not that bad. Some of the other ladies on here recommend something called Apple Guard Conditioner - it supposedly helps improve the appearance of the wrinkling.

welcome to the lamb jungle bekah.. Enjoy your stay..
That wrinkle issue is pretty common.. I have it on my mandeville but like WinterStorm said, put some leather conditioner on it to prevent it from cracking..

^^ I agree. The conditioner definitely helps.
