The Cartouchière doesn't look too bad but the speedy seems to have seen much better days, I would return it.
Doing just that! Indeed! Thanks babe! I wasn't as lucky as you!!

Poor speedy :rain:
Yes, I agree. The speedy is going back. And the Cartouchière I'm going to sleep on. Maybe I can stuff her and get back into shape!
Heck, I have a 30 from '98 that's in far better shape then some of these 2-10 year old bags. In just makes me shake my head when I see people throw down x amount of money for a luxury good or vehicle then proceed to abuse and neglect it and shortly after turn around and blame the company/designer for selling them a piece of garbageI know! I sold my 25 last year and it was from 2008. It was way better taken care of. It was still perfect. This one is from 2006 and I just can't comprehend how someone would treat their bags like this...

I can't believe the condition that some of these preloved purses that I see for sale are in! It's like no one cared for them. I don't overly baby my bags, but I do take care of them and not beat them up. I don't get how some people treat their bags!
My thoughts exactly. Keeping a decent rotation and at least a little care is so important. I have a girlfriend who wears the hell out of purse, trashes it, then moves on to the next.
To OP, I think the Cartouchiere is in pretty decent condition. I'm in the market for one myself and that's one of the better looking ones I've seen. I got a pre-loved Deauville this past weekend that looked like it had been store kinda flat. I stuffed that bad boy with old T-shirts and let the canvas get a little warm while I smoothed it out. Once I let it sit for a few hours, with the T-shirts still in it, it remembered that it had a shape once upon a time and looks great now. But alas, if you don't love it you should leave it.
This shows how important it is to ask questions about what a seller means by "good" or even "mint." People's standards sure vary.
