Has anyone noticed a difference in gold hardware on their MPA? The zipper pull on my MPA is light gold while the rest of the hardware is a darker shade of gold? It almost looks fake :sad:

They’ve been like that for the last few years at least. It’s because that’s a more durable Matt finish (designed to be handled) than that of the darker smooth hardware…. You find the smooth hardware starts to tarnish after a while if you handle it excessively.

yes this is normal. Ive owned five mp and they are all a little different actually depending on the year of production, you will also find the chain quality has changed as well, the chains have become very thin, light weight and with more spacing between the links compared to early years. Im not saying its good, but its accurate to the item, there is nothing wrong or defective about it to ease you mind.
 
I just ordered the DA Hollywood Sarah wallet. I'm anxious - I had a past a Christmas Animation zippy and the design started to chip after a few months of use, so I sold it because I was too nervous to keep using it, but I also regret that decision. I can't decide if I will end up keeping this or not, but I don't have any DA pieces and I'm a sucker for the hot pink interior.

Yes mine is the same, except the hook on the end of the chain is the darker gold compared to the chain itself. I wondered what was up with that myself. This is on the Japan mini pochette. The chain on my DE mini pochette purchased in 2020 is all the same shade of gold.
 
I have all my Christmas Animation pieces except the London mp. I texted my CA yesterday. He told me that all the Christmas Animation pieces are backed up. Luckily, mine got accepted. Who knows when it'll arrive though.
Hmmm interesting. I thought my CA had found one of the Japanese mini pochettes for me on Monday but when I look at my receipt it says "order deposit" so I guess I've prepaid and am waiting like everyone else to see if it will actually come.
