i actually own the black and i know exactly how you feel. i was looking for allumino, but they were all sold out so i opted out for a black, which i later regretted because i thought it looked a little cheap. i bought it at a miu miu store so i couldn't even receive a refund! (only credit) - i decided just to keep it. it's a great every day bag and it's pretty durable compared to the other miu miu bow colors - i don't have any sealant cracks or damages, and i've had it since january (and have been using it quite frequently!). i think if you're really unhappy, you should try to resell it back on eBay.
