I am so distraught, I know that you guys can help me feel better so here is the vent. First let me
Tell you that I didn't take pictures yet because I only have my phone and I didn't really want to focus on what I did too much
.
I own a monogram musette perfo in green that i adore!!! I got it as a graduation gift from my parents. I rarely used it because I was too afraid of damaging it. Last week I decided to ear it because the weather was great in new York and my outfit would match it perfectly. So there I was strolling
Down the street when suddenly I feel something fall from my bag. I was shocked to realize that what had fell was the fake lock that keeps the flap closed. I picke it up from the groud and realized that tiny pieces were missing from the bag in order for the lock to be attached to the bag again. I took it to the store right away... Not only were they mean, but they told
Me that since the bag was LE they did
Not have parts for it any longer and that something like that would only happen if the bag had been abused! My
Bag doesn't even have a patina! That's how often I've worn it so I went home desperately, and decided to glue the lock to the flap with crazy glue. It actually worked and held the lock in place. However, te flap would not stay shut any longer, so whenever I put the bag on my shoulder it would come undone. I then decided to buy heavy duty magnets and glue one
Of them to the inside of the bag and the other on the inside of the flap. Needless to say the vachetta was ruined. Completely ruined. The magnets did
Not stick and the leather turned black :-0 so I took a nice and started to scrape the black glue amidst tears in the process a good
Amount of the vachetta was scraped creating irregularities. I then bought sand paper and started to smooth the leather. It looked better I was almost relieved.... And then the yellow stitching on the flap just snapped. Just like that. (from all the sanding I am sure). So then as a last resort I took my scissors (yes I know) and completely cut the flap!!! I just cut it.
Now the result is a bag with nothing to close it. I am so sad. I ruined my bag. This probably makes no sense because I typed so fast... Sorry.
