Im thinking it is just the typical thing with reissues, being foldable the bottom part can look crooked/bowed etc. Have you tried pushing the bottom part in to make it even?

Yes, and that’s how I determined it wasn’t stitched straight. In the picture with the arrow, I’m actually pushing down on the bag to get it to flatten out at the base (this was after gently pushing out the base edges with my fingers from inside the bag, as I’m aware 2.55 bags come shipped more folded at the bases vs their more structural CF counterpart).

So here is the bag I curbside picked up today. I didn’t view it in store, only via my SA’s text. I love the color. My 2yo LOVES this bag. She calls it her rainbow bag.

Here is my dilemma.
As a chèvre (goatskin) lover, this leather does not feel like chèvre. It is dry. It doesn’t have that thick, soft, and lux feel like my 16C iridescent purple flap. And finally the kicker, the bottom isn’t even stitched straight (see pictures). I did a side-by-side comparison between this bag and my CF mini and 2.55 mini to confirm that the base is indeed uneven.

I do love the mix of colors on this bag but between the off stitching and dry leather, I am not sure if this is even worth keeping (even if I got a new exchange with a beautiful colorway and perfect stitching).

What do you gals think?

Oh no :sad: I saw your post with the pic the SA had sent. The colour combination is exactly what I am after (I was using your photo as reference to my SA) although this is disappointing. Can you not put something in the bag to weigh down the uneven part? The dryness of the leather is worrying. I would go back to the store and see if there are others to compare it against.

As much as I love the wonderful colours, the dryness will bother me.

I think the dry leather will bother me tremendously because it might crack over time. The crooked stitches don’t bother me as much only because it’s a reissue and most of the time the bottom doesnt flatten out.

Keep it, because this bag varies so much and you have the perfect combo if you ever want to resell. People will be hunting for it for years to come I bet...

Will inserting a bag organizer help with the shape?
