Hi There- Did you end up buying this backpack? How's it holding up, the wear and tear? Mine arrived today, still not sure if I want to keep though--

Anyone here own the Pandora backpack?

Hi!

I didnt end up getting it because I decided it would be too heavy once I put all my stuff in it.

I do have a Nightingale with the same material and it is a very tough, durable leather. It's been rained on and I even scraped it once when I fell. You can barely tell that it's been scrapped. I have to search for it and then point it out before people notice. Hope that helps!

Ya'll....I've been wanting a small Pandora ever since I got my medium Pandora in March. Like, pretty much the day after I got my medium Pandora :blush:. So, I've been looking and looking for the perfect one. This is it, I just wanted to share this is the one I want!! It's colorblock (yet understated), and an awesome alternative to black (which I already have a black medium). I saw it in person at Neiman on Thursday and it's totally....awesome. I'm kicking myself though, because I didn't look at the authenticity card while I was in the store. Reason is - for tricolor Pandoras, do they give you one leather swatch, or three leather swatches? It didn't occur to me to look until after I went home and started thinking about it. If you have a tricolor Pandora, please let me know!

If I end up ordering it online, I want to make sure I get all the swatches it should come with, if tricolor Pandoras do come with three swatches. Thanks!

Thanks for the response. Got it at $1,120.00 before tax, but wasn't worth keeping in my opinion, it was heavy, straps were uncomfortable, the hardware and plastic connected the strap made a weird clunking sound. Sent it back yesterday.

This brand new bag arrived yesterday, Anyone here own Khaki in Old Pepe, (S/S 16, I think), still debating if I want to keep, it'll be my first sheepskin in Givenchy. I noticed the corners and some parts of the bag show some sort of fading but also also understand this is the nature of washed lambskin, just not sure if it is worth keeping at $900...

My honest opinion is, I wouldn't keep it. It's already showing the fading in the corners. For $900 I wouldn't accept that, even if it's the nature of the material. It makes it look used.

I noticed you got it from Farfetch. A couple months ago I also ordered a Pandora from Farfetch. The small black in calfskin with the big red zipper pull. It was a great price but when I looked closely at it upon arrival, I noticed the stitching at the base of the handle was already coming apart! Just the right side. It wasn't noticeable unless you picked up the bag and looked closely. I sent it back right away.

I'm kind of turned off by Farfetch. It seems they send bags that aren't in "perfect" condition. To me the fading on the corners should not be. Not on a brand new bag. Just my opinion.

Thanks Annawakes, I agree, however, Farfetch is partnered with many stores therefore quality control is tricky. I had the same experience with Neiman Marcus, the Pandora backpack I ordered arrived with visible/hard to miss pen mark and scratches on the buckle hardware. I immediately contacted customer service to report my findings but they did not apologize, instead just told me to ship it back. I don't understand the behavior, but, oh well, LOL

When I reached out to Farfetch, however, not only did they apologize but also offered an option for full refund or discount for the inconvenience. Now, THAT, is customer service.

The handbag is going for $1990 on Luisaviaroma. With the shade/color scarcity in mind along with the discount, I opted to keep the bag, I'm sure a little leather conditioner will do it's magic! Will post photos of outcome shortly

Glad it worked out for you. I would agree that Farfetch has GREAT customer service in my experience. They've been very responsive, patient and understanding in my interactions with them.
