Hi all! Question for those who have had their reissues for sometime. Have you experienced the top of the bag/flap pointing instead of curving?

I have the reissue 226 and it’s a year old, purchased from boutique. I want to avoid that point that can potentially develop over time. Has anyone experienced that? Or how do you prevent it.

I love every other feature of the bag and how it ages over time, but just not that pointy top. Lol.

I've heard that the point becomes more pronounced if you wear your Reissue crossbody mainly. Mine is pretty rounded on top, but I wear mine shoulder-carry the majority of the time.

I finally got hold of my HG.. the 20A so black chevron mini reissue!! I’d love to know if it’s normal for the flap part to be more stiff than the classic quilted reissue? I’m used to the softer, more malleable flap of the classic reissues. I’ve never owned a chevron one apart from a caviar CCH. And this flap seems to have similar level of stiffness to the caviar flap. Dear owners, is this true for yours as well?

It's definitely not as soft/flexible as my calfskin 227. Mine overall tends to hold its shape & structure well, which I love. I don't have to worry about the bag sagging at all. LOL.

It’s a pleasant surprise for me. Upon touching it for the first time, the bag feels super steady and very well made compared to my 21A so black!

Hi, I just purchased what Was listed as a So Black 2019 226 like new from a major resell sight and it’s actually a 225. I think I want to keep it but am wondering would a 225 be priced lower then a 226? Should I ask for an adjustment? Thank you for any advise. It was 6k plus tax and I can return it.
