Not at all! My heart started to pump really fast when I saw the lack of notches in their terrible photo, so I took a chance.
I could probably wear her, and no one would notice, but she deserves to be repaired. I wonder how much they are paying people for these bags, I’ll bet you that whoever let her go got maybe $100 for her, if that.

Do you plan to replace the stud or leave as is? I ask because I bought the Ink aumoniere with a missing stud. Those are smaller studs so I couldn't find a replacement. I actually bought a cloth/canvas coin purse for under $20 just to harvest its stud. It hasn't come in yet so I don't even know if it's doable, so was wondering what you planned to do. Replacements studs in your size are aplenty.

Either way, great buy. Leather looks scrumptious and in good shape.

Absolutely, the stud will be replaced. I bought this thing to harvest the studs, I figured not a bad price for three. If they’re the wrong size, I could always use it as a keychain.

I’m glad you got this little beauty! I stalked it daily for a good while, but have been trying to stop buying long enough to make room.

I also need to stop. I have never bought so many bags in such a short while in my life. Making up for the fact that I haven’t really bought anything since 2015!
Here’s a better picture of the corner damage, it needs professional help, I’m not even attempting this myself.

I had Fashionphile credit from a couple of purchases that didn’t work out (including one with an awful undisclosed powdery scent), so I picked up this Mini City with classic gold HW a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been lowkey obsessed with the Mini since seeing a woman with a red one at the airport years ago — it just looked like such a chic and practical little bag for travel. Happy to report that I just took mine on a weekend trip, where she was perfect for the airport, sightseeing, and going out to dinner. My one minor complaint is that the zipper is fussier than the one on my regular City, but I’m willing to live with it since the bag was otherwise in amazing condition — no weird smells this time, thankfully! Very happy to finally have this in my collection.

Oh, great, now my obsession with that one is even worse….:drool:
That strap looks wonderfully long.

Just bought this City on Fashionphile. I think it's beautiful and definitely love the color, but I don't know if I'm gonna keep it. It seems really small to me. Not sure yet, but I only have a week maybe to decide because of their new return policy being only 15 days from date of shipment.

Is it too small to carry your daily items or too small in relations to another existing bag you have?

Definitely not too small to carry my daily items, just seems small compared to what I carry everyday (except on weekends). I do love it though, I may just keep it. I just stare at it all the time, and I got a great deal on it, too.
