Thank you for this advice, I appreciate it. I was not sure how an exchange worked since the return policy change.Take it to your nearest Coach store. Plenty of people receive gifts without a gift receipt, and I guarantee you that they will order you a new one.
Tell them how much you love the tote, but the imperfection bothers you. Say it was a gift, and that no paperwork was attached. They'll be happy to help you!
This is adorable! This would look great on my tote as well!
