Has This Had This Happen?

I went an looked at my feather key fob and noticed that the clip was hanging, the only reason I think I didn't lose everything is because I clipped the ring onto it. The left pic shows what it looked like and the right shows what it looks like now.

,Lucky you didn't lose it. Take it back!

This happened to some others on the forum. I remember seeing it. You're lucky you didn't lose any parts.

Yep. Known problem. And it also just happened to be my *denim* (I have a few different colors) feather that was loose when I first got it. I wonder if the denims, for some reason, started out loose? Since I've tightened the screw, though, it has remained tight. Nonetheless, that is why I always do exactly what you did ... clip the large, split-ring keyring *into* the clip when using the clip to hang it. (But I'm also a little paranoid, and I also have homemade, small safety chains that I use to further secure such charms to my bags.)

And the fun part (read that as sarcasm) is that many of the recent straps use that same kind of clip at the ends. This is true on both boutique bags (eg. at least some Swaggers), and MFF bags (eg. Coras). So if the screw comes out on one of those, and if the screw is lost ... well, unless you do the math to jury-rig something, then your strap won't work anymore either. What a fun surprise! (yes, more sarcasm).

Love the sarcasm! Unfortunately it was an eBay purchase but it sounds like a Coach issue and I'd be really PO'd if this happened with a bag. Now I know to stay away from the bags that have this. I'll reattach to my bag (denim turnlock bucket) but I'm going to add reinforcements to make sure it stays on.
I think I may be returning my other stars fob if it's attached the same way.
It's attached the same, so this one is going back to the store. Oh well.

OMG! glad you didn't loose it. I own nothing with this method of clip... that is bad sounding like it's a defect
