A lot of bags show up on eBay from the re-releases, but it's been easy in the past to see that it was a re-release by the Adios keychain (think of when Foresta re-released...). This time around, with Spiaggia, I see a definite increase, but a lot of these new ones still have the white bear. I find this suspicious. Have people gotten wise and bought cheap white bear qees, knowing it would bring a lot more on a re-released bag?

Excluding the non-colored hardware on the OP re-release, is there any way to tell if the bag you are getting is the original release or the re-release?

Is it dishonest for any of these people to lead you to believe that you are getting an original release when you are not? It does seem to get them a higher price, after all...

What are your thoughs?

LeSportsac stopped using the Adios Qee beginning with the L'Amore release. The Adios qee heads were popping off too easily. So both the L'Amore and Spiaggia re-releases are back to using the White Bear Qees.

But what about Foresta and all the others?

I wonder if the new bags Carnival print onwards will have their Adios qee prone to be-heading you reckon?
