Not sure if I have already shared this Alma BB Monopaname that I received last week .View attachment 5841169View attachment 5841170
Love it but a shocking thing happened when I used it for the first time last Thursday, I noticed a lot of black stain on the canvas near the keybell side where I hang the padlock on, after checking it properly, I discovered a lot of black powder came out from the padlock !View attachment 5841171View attachment 5841172
The inner side of padlock dustbag is all black :wtf:

I informed my online CA immediately and she is arranging an exchange for me .

The choice of colour and design on the alma looks gorgeous really. If not my preference for larger more spacious zipper bags I would go for this alma bb.
What are those black colour soot? Was it oxidisation of the padlock? It looks like what it would be on the chains of my 3 Chanel19 bags which I have to clean up occasionally due to oxidisation from the high humidity of asia tropics

OMG @23adeline:wtf: is that?? I guess they are just producing things as quickly as possible with very little quality control? So bad/sad.

I really don’t know what’s that black powder and this is the first time I received a padlock like this ! It really gave me a shock when I saw the black powder on the beige canvas , I thought it would get stained permanently :wtf:
I took a video that I knocked the padlock on a tissue paper and the black powder came out from padlock , to show my CA & told her to feedback to their HQ.
Still waiting for her to get another piece for an exchange, actually I don’t mind if they just exchange the padlock for me

It might be graphite? This is a common lubricant for door hinges and your photo immediately made me think of the war I’ve been waging on my doors for nearly 30 years. It can stain, so do be careful!

Hi, my niece was vacationing in Italy and she helped me pick up the Bubblegram Alma BB in blue glacier. This is my first Alma and first handbag of color. I only have monogram or black bags. The color is so pretty! Thanks for letting me share!

This is such a gorgeous bag! I love bubblegram and in this colour and style it’s heaven. I’ve been eyeing the same bag myself but in the black. It is definitely an understated bag, but it’s such a beautiful leather!! Enjoy your new beauty and lucky your niece got it for you from Italy.

Thank you!:heart: I love the soft, squishy feel of the leather. I saw it for the first time almost a year ago and fell in love with the color but couldn’t bring myself to pay the high price for it. Plus I was petrified that the light color would get dirty. I couldn’t stop thinking about it so when my niece offered to pick it in Italy, I couldn’t resist! Thanks for letting me share. :wave:
