Purchased a Hermes Bearn Compact Wallet in Black Mysore. After using it about two weeks, the internal pocket containing the Hermes indentation tore on both ends ... kinda like an alligator tear. Tear is about 1/16 inch long.
Was very careful in not placing too many cards in the pockets so was surprised and very disappointed with the tear.
So brought it to a local Hermes store and off it went to New York. 6 months was the projected time frame for the repair. Called about 4 months later to check. They said it is going to take another 6 months due to employees taking summer vacation. After about a week, got a called from the SA. This time he said it is going to be sent to Paris for the repair since it cannot be done in New York. Time frame - 1 to 2 years. (???) I was about to rip my (or my SA's) hair out.
Is this normal? HELP!!!!
I can't look at the tear everyday, so not sending it for repair is not an option.
