I was so excited to be getting a new BV Mini Messenger! I also found it in the color I wanted--so super plus. Thanks so much for those whom helped me; I ended up going with Barneys in Beverly Hills since a lot of times I have layovers in Los Angeles; so i felt connected to the store more than online. Anyway...
With excitement, I tore open the box, only to find the bag haphazardly thrown in the box with a bit of packing paper, but not really. The bag didn't appear to have suffered from the lack of care in packing, but I still was disappointed in that. The chain (removable) was still attached and both were inside the dust bag. Even though the chain isn't rough, it still could have done some damage to the bag. And since it's removable, why was it just not tucked inside??
The bag itself. Oh me, oh my; was it a return? did someone sit on it? It didn't even smell new. And worse was the inner flap leather. Wrinkled and worn. Very unsatisfactory--and a huge disappointment since I know there aren't that many left around.
O_o
Of course I didn't get a chance to ring Barneys until this evening, and they are already closed, but maybe that's a good thing. I don't think I'm as disappointed in the bag looking "off", but more that the sales rep actually mailed this out to me like this. I didn't even get the cards that come with these bags, and the receipt was all crumpled in and stuffed inside the bag. Had I not been careful, the zipper could have snagged the receipt; that's how crappy it was.
I've received bags and SLGs that didn't have the "special wrapping", and that's okay. But for this to leave any store? Noooo.:no-good:
Tell me what you think? Will it end up looking like this after a couple uses, so just don't worry about it? Did anyone else not get the cards?
