I call b.s.! That is NOT an naturally occuring imperfection in the leather! There is no dye there for whatever reason. The only time I have seen that is when somethings gets stuck to the leather and pulls the thin upper coating off the leather in spots and takes the dye with it. I'm not saying that's what happened with your bag, just that its a DEFECT and not a naturally occuring abnormality in the leather. If your bag had of been dark colored, that defect would stick out like a sore thumb.
Maybe you should take your photos and send a letter along with the photos to someone higher up the food chain. As much as those MTO bags cost, they should be more careful in the making of them and not try to cover up when the leathermaker makes a mess of the bag or uses damaged leather.....or the when the SA sends a bag with man-made imperfections to customers.
That's ridiculous! You mean to tell me if a company continues to send me defective product it's oh well??! The first time the bag was defective and they made another one out of courtesy??? How about they produce one that isn't defective? That is so not right! Tell Kyle you're going to let every Coachie on TPF know their policy!
I was thinking of sending a letter because basically I can never get my bag. He didn't say this, but I feel like I'm banned from ever ordering a mto.
