Hello :)

Today I found the Bucket Bag in black/flamma and immediately bought it but I still can not decide whether I should keep it or not.

I already have an Alexander McQueen Padlock Bucket in black. Do I need a second black bucket bag? My favorite color would be brandy but it is hard to get even one Mansur Gavriel so I could not pass the black one.

Need some more nights to decide I guess. Any ideas what you would do?

I love my large black/flama bucket the colored inside really sets the bag but if I already had a black bucket bag I would probably go for another color.

hello! my very first post on Purse Blog (: Was thankful that I was awake at 3 am (Singapore time) and managed to happily snatched up a Bucket Bag in Black/Flamma from Net-A-Porter. been looking for it for forever, and the timezone differences make camping out at the Mansur Gavriel website during restocks very difficult.

BUTTTTT.... :(

due to the natural state of the leather, I understand that it is inevitable that there will be some scratches / veins! but the bag that was sent to me a few days ago had a rather thick, long (almost the entire width of the bag) line running across the bag :( I am not sure if it is the veining of the leather (which I will be happy to keep) or it is defective. has anyone encountered this on their bags before?

I have the exact same crease when I received my black/flamma from NAP, then I returned it and ordered another one. I've seen some of the black ones online have this kind of veins on it too.

Pls pls pls can you all advice me...I have been thinking about the backpack for a long time. I think the regular size will be too big but also feel the mini backpack is too small. I am about 5' 5.5" and weigh about 123 lbs.
Or should I just wait for the lady bag?
I own the mini bucket and love the size.
All advice appreciated!!!

thanks for the responses! SIGH.. a part of me was hoping it was normal, so I could keep the bag. pains me to return it... but I am quite a perfectionist so it might bother me in the long term. the decision is made more difficult because NAP has offered me a refund of 10% of the price of the bag if I keep it!!

Push for more. I got 20% refund but mine was probably worse than that. I actually have never received or seen (friends bags) a perfect one from NAP. Just received another from the recent restock and it was a bag I returned previously due to the quality. The one I got today is worse. Back it goes. I'm now not sure if it's NAP or MG and they just aren't for me...

oh gosh :( the ones direct from MG are better? might camp out for the restock then (since they said they will release the timing this time round). the prices seem to have increased (based on the NAP prices). sigh. hope WE can get one soon!!

Just emailed them to ask whether they can offer a higher discount, if not, I guess I will probably return the bag </3

I've never thought about getting a discount from them, I don't even know they would offer discount for defective stock. Not all the MG bags from NAP are defective, I think it's just a matter of luck. The other one I've received is in perfect condition, no flaws at all.
