Hi my dear fellow purse forum friends. I have a question, not sure if you can help. I purchased my 12a red jumbo from shophers. It had the tags attached brand new never used. However I noticed the color is brownish red in some lighting and compared to others posts of the same bag. My bag tends to look slightly darker (more brown) than the other pics where it is more candy apple red looking. I asked the owner if she had it repainted and she said no but I know they had lots of issues in 2012 with white specs on these bags. Also I noted that my bag had not one single white spec on it which I read that almost all had some amount of white spec which prompted owners to have their bags refinished for free by chanel. Is there anyway for me to tell if the bag was-repainted/refinished?
Also does anyone know if there were differences in the 12a red color due to color absorption? I tried to search the threads and saw info on the white specs issue but none on the color differences between one bag versus another.
I love my bag, I just have an issue with paying $6,300 for something that was supposed to be brand new when it was repainted and if I can prove it was repainted I can try to have shophers refund a portion given the bag was not as described.
TIA
