Please tell me I am overreacting and I have to enjoy my bag! My boyfriend says that no one else would have noticed it! Has someone else noticed something like that or all the other bags are 1000% perfect except mine?
If I went through both bags (yes, I have two), I'm sure I could find imperfections... Do I look for them? No... I have too many other things in business that I'm anal about, purses are for my pleasure.

But that's me. I like my bags to have character so minor imperfections don't fuss me. If it bothers you, that's another story! Like your boyfriend, I honestly don't think anyone else would notice. But if you're not going to enjoy it because of that, why keep it?

I don't think that any of us have a bag that is 1000% perfect, nor do I think it probable that there is one that has been made to that standard... There's something that keeps on drawing you to this bag, so I say enjoy!
 
You are not crazy:smile1: It's all what makes you happy or annoys you about things...these bags are definitely not for the perfectionist fashionista...they have little markings and differentiations throughout the leather that add character in the eyes of their designer...it's that casual slouchy Bohemian look that they are going for.

Erica you are very kind, but I think I am crazy :D
You are right... I have to stop thinking thiw way (I do it generally in my life, not only with bags), and I only harm myself with these thoughts.

Casual slouchy Bohemian look.... I think you are so right!

Thank you :smile1:

Thank you in paris, you make some excellent points here. Yes, I agree that there is not a perfect bag, and I should relax and enjoy it.
I do the same thing with clothes!!!! I am even worse there, I act like Poirot, investigating all aspects! I try to tell myself that even a perfect thing will not remain perfect forever, but then a second voice tells me that a new thing should be flawless!

I am working on it though! :D

LOL! You would have a heart-attack if you went through my closet (my mom sure does) :p

Maybe this bag will be a new beginning for you... a relaxed, casual, Bohemian you... Put on some holey jeans, an ever-so-slighly frayed leather jacket, and be WILD!

You go, girl -- enjoy! :yahoo:

:D I will do my best!! There are so many things that stress us, clothes and bags should be a source of joy! You have helped me a lot in paris, you are my personal psychologist lol!
 
On the right handle (left in the pic) there is a piece of leather wrapped around it... Pull it up (out) and you should find the magic key (it's really more rectangular -- my bad).

(you can see what it looks like in cinnabun4chu's pic on page 63)


Ohhhh!!!! Now I see it!! The bag is finally unlocked and opened!! Whew...I had to be careful to not yank the strap off. Thank you so much for helping me in paris! :yahoo:
