One of my Saks "buy 2 bags/triple points bags" was a Bouton d'Or Day Bag ordered via locator and it arrived today from San Antonio Saks.
I was so excited when I opened the box but my heart sank when I noticed little black specks (almost looked like fine black pen ink marks) in various places in the leather and a few spots of what looked almost like tiny dabs of green.
While the leather was great & not dried out as many have posted, I was very disappointed and just felt like it was an "irregular".
I took it over to my local Saks at lunch and they don't know much about Bbags since they don't carry but they called San Antonio store & got someone from Designer Handbags who said they had another one but it appeared this one had black specks in it too and he told local SA that this is how the neon yellow bags came.
Now I saw a Bouton City at Barney's and looked at it but don't recall black specks in the leather but I wasn't seriously considering the yellow at the time & I wanted to save the $200 to get a Day vs City as it will have more limited usage.
So they saw that the Greenwich CT Saks had them & they called there and interrogated the SA who swore there there were no black specks in the leather. Then I got on the phone with her to do same.
They are going to get the bag from there and exchange.
I am just curious if anyone else has seen this in the Bouton's or not and if the San Antonio person SA knew what they were talking about.
It is really a great spring/summer bag in this color & style.
I was wearing a ivory slacks, black sweater & my zebra French Sole flats and it really popped.
I tried snapping some pics of the spots/specks with my iPhone but I couldn't get the detail.
I know there's a post @ buying in person or online and I will say I much rather buy in person but I am limited to Barney's here which doesn't have a gigantic selection.
Thanks.
