Ah! So cute~~~ Love it. Congratulations for adding these to your collection, especially mini-cow!

And this thread will never die. Not until I someday get to hug the bejesus out of the big Cow bag because I finally got my grubby paws on it for a decent price. I am still not over sitting on my hands and not buying it at the time! :crybaby:

Ah I have regrets too. I had the chance to buy more items at the time but I don't know why I didn't pull the trigger. Now I'm just happy to get some pieces. Congrats on getting the big cow. I know it's holy grail item for a lot of people :yahoo:

I feel your regret! :console:

This is the "big sigh" moment because I remember why I didn't purchase, but it's just causing me regretful-pangs of trying to be an adult lolol. I don't have it yet; please wish me good luck!

Ahhhh I mis-read it. I know it's hard making thoughtful purchases, the rational part of being an adult fights against my child side. But if you love it enough it's worth it :) Sending you good luck vibes to finding it! I randomly stumbled upon the mini cow from another PFer selling it. So I'm hoping it happens to you too! ✨

LOL "This thread will never die":giggle: So true!! I am glad I got my pieces last year from this collaboration (a wallet, cardholder, and charm). Happy to know that I'm not the only one still lingering around this thread. Fingers crossed for you to finally get a big cow bag!! Hunting those pieces down last year was not easy but weirdly, those were good ol' times :hbeat:
 
Oh interesting hmmm... I just checked mine and is this what you meant? I took pictures of both sides. Hope they're clear enough! (That dent is from where the zipper rests/poor packing but since the leather is so soft I'm sure it will go away with use and proper storage)

Lovely bag! I recently bought one online as well. Do you mind sharing some more detailed photos of the bag so I can make sure it's genuine? The stitching on the strap holder is a little odd, also the 6-digit serial number is a little off and not leveled exactly and I don't see a c stamp by the date code. I really can't find any photo online of the bag since so few people actually post this and so little information is available online for this model! Here are some of the photos if anyone any any opinions, Appreciate it in advance.

Definitely! I am away from home though so may need to wait a bit before I can take any photos. What photos do you want to see?

It's hard to tell in your photos if it is authentic or not to be fair. The largest difference I found with a super fake is the quality of the leather. It's noticeably thinner. This bag leather should feel thick and substantial (like most of their other classic calfskin)
 
I wanted to share an update on the situation I discussed last year, as it has finally been resolved.

Last year, I purchased two counterfeit items from eBay and Mercari, specifically designs from the Loewe x Spirited Away collaboration. Despite providing extensive evidence, Goldman Sachs Bank (Apple Card) ignored my dispute attempts for almost a year.

In response, I filed three complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), arguing that I was being coerced into mailing a counterfeit item, which is illegal according to the USPS mail manual and US law. Ultimately, I won my case. I am not required to return the items, and I have been credited for the full amount of $2,734.

The effort was entirely worth it. :smile:

Congrats!!! :panic: Also thanks for sharing! Had no idea it was illegal, but nice to know we can leverage that in the event something like this happens to any of us.

What items did you purchase were counterfeit and how did find out, may I ask?

It was a Susuwatari tote bag and a Kaonashi card holder. I can't really summarize why they were counterfeit precisely without breaking TPF rules, but I figured it out through my own examination and then hired a third-party expert to confirm my findings in writing for evidence.

Congrats!
Is this Apple Pay? Or Apple Card a whole other thing?
I just recently moved away from Paypal to use Apple Pay whenever I can.

Apple Card, not Apple Pay. I will never be using that card again though. Amex approves my disputes in under 36 hours. Apple Card took a year and their practices of handling disputes was completely illegal and negligent. Highly recommend against using that card for any high value items (~$500 and above).
