You have good eyes! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Actually, my new-to-me Diorissimo also have stickers on most of the hardware, too. I guess the previous owner loves it too much to take it off?

Not my discovery - but yes, I can see it!

Once I saw really bad discolouration on an H B - I take them away asap. A woman bought the bag preloved in Tokyo, moved right in and in the elevator I saw how she pulled the stickers away and was not happy with the metal beneath. I felt for her and this experience sticks...

ugh! I just saw the perfect bag for all my outdoor shows. It is a tumi crossbody in the Nordies early access sale. The old tumi I use now could still work just the metal closure drives me bonkers and I need a bit more space. What would you do?

OMG my 2018 is not going so great.
So I sold my used SpeedyB 25, and bought a black bucket bag (JW Hulme) which I love, and then (oops) slipped again and picked up this cute Orciani in Pink.

The whole shopping in my closet thing is going poorly, but at least the # of bags seem to increase very slowly (is that good news?).

Ew... I feel sorry for her, too. [emoji20][emoji20][emoji20]

Interesting! And cute addition to your closet! We talked about Orciani in another thread - maybe you could share your experience there?

The stickers if left on too long can react with the metal.

There’s always debate on it for bags with easy scratched locks, I feel normal wear and tear gives character to a bag, especially for locks and feet.
 
Buy!! It fits a need! And it’s pretty. Truth be told, I want one myself. But no. [emoji3]
I think blue camo to hide any dirt that might get on it. It is not something that gives me a thrill like a real handbag but it is exactly what I need when I do outdoor art shows. I can't leave my bag in a pocket in my chair anymore as my set up has changed . I need to wear my valuables at all times and be hands free.
