Hi! I’m looking at a 12 series preloved reissue 225 which is in amazing condition. I haven’t bought a 10 year old bag ever and just want to know how it does in terms of longevity. Does it mean it will wear sooner ? It doesn’t have much wear on it now from the looks of it. Corners clean, no scuffs etc. anything else to watch out for when buying an older series? It is almost 1/2 price of boutique and while I can pay the full price financially it worries me to wear 6k on my arm. If that makes sense. Thoughts?! Thanks!!
 
Thanks! I should have attached a pic. Thoughts?! Do these get flatter as time goes on? Or just more distressed

Yep doesn't matter the year, it matters the condition. If well maintained, there is no reason it should wear any quicker than new. In fact, most would argue the quality was better than anyway.

I miss having a 227 (sold it for my 225, which I love but finding I miss a bigger size in my collection as well) and I am going to be looking exclusively pre-loved for it for the price difference and Im very picky with the distressing on my reissues so it helps to be able to see the bag before going to a store/bugging an SA etc as all are somewhat different.

Received it and it is in pretty good condition! I was wondering if these white dots are normal for this age of bag. It was something not noted before I received it. I think it’s the stitching that’s showing? doesn’t bother me too much but want to know if it can be fixed with LS? Or leave it alone. Thanks in advance!
