Hi everyone,

I'm on my third Neverfull (the first two were MM's in the red and rose ballerine linings, but they weren't quite big enough for my needs). I purchased a preloved 2016 Damier Ebene GM Neverfull from Fashionphile over a year ago to serve as my work horse (also because I prefer the old lining).

Today I had a day off and was casually strolling through a local Barnes & Noble with my bag cinched. I go back to my car to find that one of the cinching straps has broken/tore off. I was so shocked, because there was no force of any kind on the bag and I know those straps are very durable (having worn the DE Neverfull's for years with work laptops, books, makeup, etc. loaded in them).

I'm going to send a repair quote through LV tomorrow, but I was just curious - has anyone else experienced this with their DE straps before? I find it absolutely bewildering. And I'm absolutely devastated by the damage (granted I know my lining isn't very pristine :angel:).

Pictures attached for reference!

The Neverfulls (dozens of them) I bought in new or like conditions never had that string broken, dozens of used ones also hold up perfectly , but I had bought a Neverfull had that one piece broken (was broken when it was bought ), had it repaired, cost $90 if I remember correctly

Honestly, if you are going to have to have a repair done to a strap at least it's DE! This way it will match no matter what. I personally would feel obligated to repair all the leather if I had vachetta so that it all matched, it would drive me crazy to have new vachetta mixed with parts already with a patina. At least this is a much cheaper option!

Thank you! That's good to know. It's just so bizarre to me!
