Hi @hrhsunshine! By the way, may I ask, who is Erica, the one your purchase from? I'd like to look at what she has for sale. Also I just bought a Pepe anthracite Pandora mini. Should I worry about yellowing or color transfer as well? I noticed you have one. May I ask- have you noticed any color change. I noticed it on someone else's anthracite in public. Got me a little worried about mine. .. thanks !

Hey guys! Quick question about the Pandora top zippers.

Are yours hard to open and close? Mine is harder to close than to open, but both feel like more of a struggle than it should be.

It's obviously a chunkier, more heavy duty zipper than most bags and I get it because it has to hold the weight of the bag's contents when it hangs...but I'm finding myself really having to grip that zipper and then grip the opposite end of the bag to close it. It's pretty much the only thing that's causing me to pause about the bag. I'd like to be able to unzip the bag easily, especially when I'm on the go.

The bottom zipper seems more fluid, so I have that for comparison.

Anyway, if your zipper is/was the same does it get easier to zip open with time?

It should be easy to open, but if its not, try running a stick of candle over it lightly and repeat until its easier.

Oh that's a good idea! Only thing is, I'm worried about getting wax flakes inside the purse in the event that I have to return it. (?)

I'm going to the mall on Saturday to check out other Pandoras to see if they zip better, which would mean mine is a dud. I seriously feel like I'm trying to pull-start a chainsaw [emoji1]

I'd imagine after a month of that type of pulling on the zipper the little leather pull tabs are going to turn to dust.

Thanks again for the help! [emoji3]

It's a miracle! My zippers zip like butta now!

I was seriously contemplating returning the bag for another one because it was super frustrating zipping/unzipping it. As a last ditch effort I found a website that said to use olive oil so I dipped a qtip in olive oil and VERY carefully ran it up and down the closed zippers and holy cow, it worked. So happy!

Anyway, I thought I should share an update on Zipper Gate in case anyone else runs into the same problem. [emoji3]

Yes!!!! I have the same exact problem!! It bothered me at first, but now I'm used to it. If it's being difficult, I just hold the opposite end! I think it does get a little easier with time, but we've also learned to get along with each other...:p:p
