Tory Burch Help! Should I keep this bag?

[lil_twin_stars]

Hi, I recently bought this brand new TB Fleming stud woc online. But the studs look tarnished n darkened. The sales said that is the original colour of the studs, but I have seen many photos of the TB studded bags and the studs are all shiny, which make the stud bags look so pretty! N this range has been discontinued so will probably not be able to buy on the shelves anymore.

One part of me is wanting to keep the bag coz I love this design, with the studs, Fleming quilts n tassle.
Another part of me is telling me to return coz the blackened studs are spoiling the look of this bag! It’s worse coz the TB logo n chain strap are both very shiny compared to the studs.

Any comments or suggestions if I should return?

I replied in the AT thread. I think you should return it because it's going to start to tarnish soon especially if the studs were exposed to humidity.

Thanks harlem_cutie! Yes. I’ll return it.
I stay in a humid country, maybe not so suitable for studded bags. Probably I will go for the woc without studs instead.
Hope u have a great week ahead!
