Hi ladies! Need some advice.
Just received light beige mini and the crease at 1 side seemed much more obvious than the other side. Will you keep it as its normal for lambskin or?

I may be in the minority but creases don’t really get to me. Unless it looks completely crazy. We have to remember that these bags are made of leather and leather isn’t meant to be “perfect” and blemish free, although with the crazy prices I think we expect it to be.

That being said, if you’re uncomfortable with it, you should definitely see if your SA can get you another one.

I have some minor creasing on my beige rectangle (altho in calf) and I’m perfectly ok with it but it’s really up to what you can stomach :)
 
I agree with snkgnbt’s sentiment. Totally up to what you can stomach. When I got my 2.55 I was a bit hesitant with the location of the aged wrinkles on the front flap, so my SA helped track down a brand new one and opened it out of the box in front of me. The new one’s front flap had a big wrinkle on the front that didn’t look nice imo and I was slightly traumatizing by seeing how flat and squished the bags are when transported lol.

The location of the wrinkles on the side of your bag aren’t super noticeable when using. Given how coveted the 22c beige is I would keep and see if you can reshape it on your own (try a bag insert), but like snkgnbt said “if you’re uncomfortable with it, you should definitely see if your SA can get you another one.” Worst case if your SA can’t and your attempt to reshape doesn’t work, then you can keep it or I’m sure one of the ladies here would be happy to take it off your hands:lol:

Thanks both for your kind replies! Yes.. Really love this light beige thus don't feel like returning it too. Anyway, shall take your advice and check with my SA first, if there's another one. Otherwise, will try the reshape method. :)

Yeah it’s such a beautiful beige and this mini is pretty hard to get. Congrats on scoring one! The creasing wouldn’t bother me. May I know if yours came with stickers intact on the logo? Mine was a new piece and it arrived without the sticker on the logo - so I’m just wondering if it’s like that for this beige mini.

I recently got one myself and it’s the same - one side has more creases than the other. I watched an unboxing YT video of this bag and that one is the same as well.

Oh, congrats to you too!

Yup, mine came with the sticker.
 
i hope you love yours when it arrives :love:

my vanity is a little peachier than my classic flap and other slgs but it's so cute and the elegant chain really gives it that 90's vibe!

btw it does fit my iphone, i have the 13 pro

Hi such lovely collection. Can you tell me the code for this color please? Did you purchase recently? I really wanted the flap wallet one and it’s pink too
