I'm going to try and make is long story short.
In Jan. I bought a preloved Denim Twist MM from a seller in Japan I trust (eBay). When the bag arrived I LOVED it and my very experienced eye knew it was authentic. Well used, but authentic. Here's the thing... the handle color is different blue than the bag! (See pics)
I thought it was no biggie and I could deal with it... but lately I've felt like it bothers me a bit . I took it to my SA to see if LV could fix the handle to match. Because it was the earliest version of the bag, there were like 5 SA's hovering questioning its authenticity ( so embarrassing) a manager came over and said that yes, it's authentic and informed us all of the differences in the new versions vs the old. He said that LV would never be able to repair and match the epi of a denim bag that was well used. So I said I'd live with it.
Still, I decided to reach out to the seller ( yes, almost a year later) and they said they'd take it back and give me a full refund.
Guys... I LOVE THIS BAG THO! A denim Twist totally defines me[emoji14] I want to be buried with the Denim Twist. So I could take the refund $2k and add a another $1700 and buy a new Denim MM. But geesh, it seems crazy to spend another almost 2k to buy the same bag.
ALL the denim twists on eBay seem (by the pics) to have the same handle color differences? Am I making a big deal about nothing???
Thanks in advance TPF friends!
