Capucines handle question

[iamthecutest]

Does your Capucines handle move (tilt) forward if you move it? Mine does, and I could've sworn I read somewhere it's supposed to be fixed in place.

It will slightly move forward or backward as the leather weakens over time, but the two rivets that hold the handle should be tight to the bag and the handle should stay tight to the Rings. If either one of those is loose, I would bring the bag back to the store for repair.
Do you have a picture you could show us?

Ugh, it's brand new. I'll take a pic.

This is with the handle tilted. It actually wobbles back and forth when I try.

Here is a set of pictures of my Black Capucine with python handles.
The handle will rock about ¼ inch at the peak of the handle on the ring, and this bag is about two years old.

Thanks so much for your useful help! I'd say that's about what mine does and I think I'll just let it be

I've also never spent $7300 usd with tax on a bag and I'm being even nuttier than usual about the perfection

You’re welcome,
It's OK to want perfection from any LV bag.
When you first wrote the post, I was concerned that it was bending at the rivets.
I’m sure you will love yours for years to come.
One good thing (of the many) about LV, if you have an issue with your Capucine years from now, they will work with you to resolve it.
