Thank you for sharing! Funnily enough I was actually trying to see if I could get your style as well- do you have a picture of the top handle not being held, just hanging naturally down on bag? Beautiful piece and congrats!!!
My SA had 2 of the pale yellow chain bags- the first one has the better colours on the front, with the green and orange, whereas the new one in the back has the yellow and red instead. The first one isn’t as fresh since it’s been handled and has a small mark on turnlock closure. And both of them have these 2 little tiny black dots/marks on the back, which she said are attributed to the items being hand dyed- “ It’s like diamonds- there’s specs sometimes when they are deep dyeing but doesn’t affect the quality” is what she told me. This is true, but it does affect the appearance of the colour as the material is dyed and they evidently missed a spot. Not an issue of the bag quality but an issue of overall aesthetic it seems.
She also mentioned that the bags in the future will no longer be coming with protective plastic over the CC hardware. Apparently this is how they will come now. However, for this much money, I would rather not pick up a bag that already has a scratch on the turnlock. If it’s going to happen, I’d rather wait and scratch it myself I think.
So as much as I like this bag, I’m not sure what to do. The version I prefer (orange and green on the front featured chains) is the more flawed one with no plastic, and the new one isn’t my preferred colours in the front, and then there’s the black dots on each of them. Would the black dots and slight scuff on CC turn piece be a deal breaker to you?
I want something fun and colourful in a green or yellow, but I’m in no rush. I do prefer dark green such as the one that just came out on the mini top handle, and I see a dark green is coming out for 21A.
I’ve attached the front and back of both bags for reference
