Ladies, could you please take a look at this purse? I got it on ebay and am in love with the rich color. However, the leather strips have some wrinkle on them although most of it is located where the leather bends when it drapes if you know what i mean... Is this normal? also the leather strips seem quite narrow. I compared it to my noce tote (I'm gonna ask about the style name of that one too...) and the leather strips on this one are indeed narrower. Otherwise it looks fine to my untrained eyes. Could you ladies share your opinions? Thanks~~~~~~~~~

^Ummh, main color blue? Backpack style? I think the seller`s a bit confused.

Apart from that, my screen shows a strap that is clearly dark brown, while in the description it says tan and the colour code is the one for Noce (hazelnut brown) plus the LV key holders scream fake!

So stay away from that one, please!

Hi! I have a general question about magnetic purse closures... I have noticed that many of the BV bags have magnets sewn into the leather, as do many of the Nancy Gonzalez bags. These magnets seem pretty hefty when I examined them in person ( parts of my key chain stuck to the magnet). Do these deactivate the magnetic strips on the back of credit cards? It would be something to know, before I purchase the handbag.
TIA!

BAGGIANA- that happened to me with a NANCY GONZALEZ clutch bag, that kind of has a double flap, a typical style of hers that is repeated a lot...just had my credit card and driver's license inside the small slot compartment..and voila..so it can happen .. I've never heard of that with BV.

It's never happened with my BV's that have magnetic closures. The Nancy Gonzalez bag magnets must be very strong. It's certainly something to think about.

^ I've noticed Nancy Gonzalez magnets to be particularly strong. It could be to hold the stiffer croc ends together. Lamb is much more pliable and thus does not require much to hold

I have two Gonzalez long croc clutches and have always been afraid to put credit cards in there! I think there are little card holders you can get that shield your cards from being stripped ...
