Does your flap also shows sign of vertical scratches? I know with constant use, this will happen since pushing the flap always rubs against the bar (what i mean by bar is the one which keeps the flap in place). Those of you who don't have scratches, how do you maintain it? I am contemplating on buying the MC Beverly, but now I'm afraid that if I buy that, the flap's scratch might be so visible and it wouldn't look good anymore after a year. I have just used my Rita for less than 25 times, and it already showed vertical scratches. When i bought it, i forgot that flap do make scratches!

Do you mean scratches on the metal clasp?

I avoid bags with these types of clasps. My Denim Speedy has two front pockets with those but I simply never use those pockets :Push:

Yes, i mean the clasps! The scratches on the clasps. Thanks for telling me! I had a hard time thinking what the right term to use, haha :P

I do love the clasps too! They're pretty. It would be so much better if there's a way to make them scratch-free

My Koala Wallet has minimal scratches on the brass "nose". I would suggest that you polish the "nose" with Brasso and you will see many of the scratches disappear or at least not be as prominent.

yeah~:tup:
same as my Marc Jacobs handbag (the one looks like manhanttan) , i never use those pockets to prevent scratches.
btw, i have used the MJ wallet for a year which have to use the metal clasp to open and close. the metal clasp is still shinny although it has scratches, :okay:and you will get used to it.
i think it's no big different when you use 25 times or hundred times;)

but i will avoid using the pocket if i don't have something really need to put in there.:sweatdrop:
