So I got the pochette accessoires in damier azur after stalking the website for about a week. I received it in 2 days and was so excited until I noticed a crack on the strap. It's underneath near the d-ring so it would never really be seen so I can't decide if it's worth returning. It's made in France and I love it but it also kind of puckers at the bottom and doesn't seem like it would ever stand up on it's own like others claim it's supposed to.

I know there has been tons of posts like this but honest opinions...would you return this?

I might ask for an exchange on the strap if that bothers you- I personally never use the strap.

I got the same piece in 2015. It does not, nor has it ever stood up on its own, and had a similar dent. I would stuff it when you store it to help the shape. This piece is very malleable so it will bend somewhat on the bottom piece. You really don’t see it when the bag is filled, in my experience.

best of luck!

Yeah the strap is really the only thing bothering me. After playing with it filled the shape actually looks fine. I'm guessing they probably wouldn't do an online return for only the strap if I shipped it back?

If you have a store close by, just bring it in and they will order a replacement strap for you.

Hi! My first Felicie Pochette arrived yesterday and I noticed a difference in leather grain on the flap versus the rest of the bag. Curious if others have seen this and if it is typical of this type of leather? I only own one other piece in empriente - a montaigne and don't have this issue. Kind of on the fence whether I should exchange. I anticipate using this bag a lot, so not sure if I should be too picky since it won't be a special occasion bag. Thanks in advance for your input! :)
