sorryyy, it's me again! Had a chance to "examine" my bag properly before I bring it out for the first time this weekend and noticed that the white thread on the handle is quite exposed (see pic). I can't really see the white thread on the other sides unless I tug at them but this one is kinda exposed. Wondering if I should be concerned? Eg will it increase the risk of the straps getting detached? Thanks in advance again!

I don't think it is a problem. I have a similar exposed red thread on my black/flamma which I've had for a few months now and the strap still seems secure.

Yes I am waiting for my chamberlains milk. Hopefully by tomorrow .
I think on such a light color I need something good. I already notice scratches just from taking it out of the dust bag to try it on!

Hi, I was wondering which leather milk do you use? I looked it up on amazon and there's 5 different types, and I'm not sure which one to get for my MG bag?

Well, I ordered the Chamberlains#1 and Black Rock Leather n Rich, but I didn't get the Chamberlains yet. I tried the Black Rock but it smells kinda like chemicals so I will wait for the other brand since it's supposedly all natural.

I use the Apple Care conditioner and Apple Guard spray. Read that Apple's conditioner is silicon-free and it doesn't have any strong smell. (The Guard is aerosol and does have a chemical smell after spraying but the smell doesn't seem to go on the bag itself.)

I have the chamberlain #1 and it smells like chemicals too. Not sure how natural it is but it worked well on my large tote.

I had something similar - the red threads were showing on my black flamma mini bucket. I embarked on a mini DIY this weekend and glued it back together. Now...the red seams are concealed :graucho:

Looked inside the bag and realised that the thread actually came undone which is why it's so visible! Wrote to MG, hope they can do smthg about it :(

Hi there, did you hear back from MG? I noticed that the red threads on my black/flamma Saffiano were showing too and I wonder if it's an issue. It's like this on both sides, is this normal?? ImageUploadedByPurseForum1439446748.054056.jpg
