My sequins courier and wristlet 30 came today and I think I'm disappointed. I guess I didn't quite understand how they were made. I thought the leather sequins were more like the leather on the metallic swagger, borough, phoebe for example. They actually are just leather with a crinkly metallic foil placed on top of the leather. Even though both my pieces were factory wrapped some of the foiling has already lifted off of the little round pieces of leather. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this clearly so I will try and take pics tonight or tomorrow.
I understand what you mean. :tup: That's too bad, especially as expensive as they are.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that :(
 
I didn't even notice that on mine. I can't really see the foil, it looks like straight leather to me but then again I'm no expert in leathers! I remember having a silver handbag from the Madison line which I got caught on a hook and ripped a hole in it; the leather was similar to what I see on these sequins so probably why I don't see the foil now as I have no clue what it should look like.

I'm sorry you were disappointed with this collection.

Too bad about your bags. I agree, they are too expensive for you to be disappointed. I'm not 100% sold on the leather sequins either. I think that is why I purchased the chalk eyelet courier crossbody bag and black eyelet wristlet 30. I plan to exchange the pink wristlet 30 for the chalk eyelet wristlet 30. I'll be very careful with my pink courier with leather sequins.

I probably wouldn't have noticed it if a few of the sequins didn't arrive already peeling off on the courier. Some of the sequins are also pretty "fuzzy" underneath. They needed a sharper cut to them to be a perfect circle. Considering ordering a 2nd one to compare, maybe I just got a sloppy one.

I inspected both pieces further this morning. The courier looks sloppy compared to the wristlet. It has fuzzy parts on some sequins along with the peeling and quite a few loose threads, wristlet doesn't seem to have any. I'm considering ordering a 2nd to compare.
 
Which one do you think you're going to send back?
I'm going to send back the size 30 wristlet. It's gorgeous but just too big. I can't seem to figure out how I would ever use it except for a nice dinner date which is near impossible to ever happen with 3 young kids lol. I think the courier would get more use by me. The smaller wristlet was out of stock during f&f sale and is back now but it looks to be too small. I would be too scared to use it to hold small stuff in a larger bag because it's so delicate.
