I just received this bag today and noticed this loose thread that looks like the sewing machine missed it. If you look in the second photo, the stitching on the PVC is quite crooked on the bottom row. That may be why it was missed. I can't fix it, but I could snip it off.
See in the bottom photo, the stitching on the blue PVC is about 1/4 inch above the bottom on the right side, but on the left it drops into the lambskin.
What do you suggest??? Should I send it back??
No, I purchased it from Saks through the authentic finds thread. She said she only has this one. Ugh, if it didn't cost over $5000 with tax, I would just cut it off and deal with the crooked stitching, but for that kind of money, I want to be completely content.
It's very agonizing because it is so beautiful and unique. Thanks for the comments and keep them coming.

Just seeing your post--sorry the bag didn't arrive in perfect condition. I'm going to play devil's advocate and say keep the bag if you love it besides the thread. The bag is not designed to have perfectly neat rows and perfectly tight stitches. I took mine out for a spin (finally) and although i had similar concerns about the loose stitching, it help up perfectly and nothing snagged or became loose. It's a beauty. Sleep on it. If the bag itself isn't for you, then exchange. But I think all bags in this style will have a little chic rock imperfections.
Let me know what you decide!
Send it back. You will always worry about these issues.
Thanks everyone, sigh, I'm going to send it back . . .
there's a new one on the authentic finds thread. check it out!
