Yes and yes (they just tighten the stitching, and that usually fixes the problem).
Thanks so much ☺️Yes and yes (they just tighten the stitching, and that usually fixes the problem).
Can that happen to Birkin as well, the handle flopping down?Yes and yes (they just tighten the stitching, and that usually fixes the problem).
Yes, but usually droopy handles on a Birkin are caused by wear to the body of the bag instead of wear to the handles themselves. Although, if the stitching on the base of the handles loosens (especially the top one or two reinforced stitches) that would be another reason this could happen.
Thank you! So droopy Birkin handles doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a fake.Yes, but usually droopy handles on a Birkin are caused by wear to the body of the bag instead of wear to the handles themselves.

No, and on the flip side, a straight handle does not necessarily mean the bag is real.
@allanrvj, I know you asked @880 directly but my Bolide 30 is great for all the things you mention. To me it’s also a perfect travel bag, no logos, zip, lock and gorgeous under the radar. I did buy a wider crossbody strap for it, as the thin narrow strap can dig in, though only once when I was looking at/choosing new kitchen hardware, and the designer loaned me multiple pulls that I put in my Bolide. That baby got heavy then, but it held all that metal beautifully. But I don’t usually run around with lots of hardware in my bags 😆 Good luck deciding! Both sound like a great choice.@880, I don't want to derail the Action thread by asking about your Bolide 30 but how do you find so far? Is it heavy? Is it too big for daily use or running errands? Do you think one can use it when traveling? I thought I made up my mind that I want a Bolide 25 but every time I see a 30 I'm like, hmmm maybe that's what I want.
My two cents - I have one chèvre B and it’s wearing beautifully! no corner wear yet after a few years, and chèvre is my absolute favorite H leather as it’s lighter weight and holds color so well. I have a Vision Agenda in chèvre that has been in every bag I’ve ever carried since 2013, used daily, and not babied at all - it has worn like iron. The corners are still pristine and no wear on any of the resin. It has aged so well, has a lovely hand, and it has had hard use. I also have an evercolor Kelly, and still no issues on the corners after 4 years. But for me chèvre wins hands down. Good luck deciding!
thank you. this is also the info that I am looking for.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
I’ll definitely keep searching then!That is quite strange. I would go back to the Toronto boutique and tell them what happened. Emphasizing that it was only after a few uses, they should be able to see from the negligible wear and tear on the strap material and receipt date of purchase. Seems like a quality control issue and they should replace it free of charge. I don't think you should have to fix/repair it yourself, especially after paying a lot for an Apple Watch Hermès product.
