My daughters Cassandra strap came loose. We screwed it back in with some “”Locktite” which is made for glasses screws. No problem since then. These small screws sometimes do this. It is so easy to strip them when tightening.

On other forums I often see the question, “Is this bag too big, too small for me”? I am tempted to post this but have not. What say you MM friends?
I think regardless of your height or weight, if you stand tall and confidently, you can wear what you want. Everything is subjective. I will gve you an example. Get your boyfriend/husband/friend to stand back to back with you. Then each of you describe what you SEE. You are both in the same place, so which one of you is “wrong” describing what you see?
We all see things differently, so no matter how much you try to find the perfect size, the perfect color, the perfect style...someone will think it is wrong. If you love It, wear it!

This happened to me with Arianna and a drop of superglue on the ends when pushed back in solved it.
Yes. This is what happened to my Bally zipper last year. Use the screw driver that’s used for eyeglasses.
I think I agree with you on the clip. But the effect on the bag may look different than the buckles. [emoji848]
Maybe. Long time ago, someone weighted a swatch and even for the swatch, the weight is significantly different. Imagine if it’s a bigger piece like a bag. For a piece, a gram or two may not be much, but when we think about it by percentage, that’s definitely something.
What do you think, too blingy or just the right amount of bling?
Yikes! So sorry to hear this happened, soramillay... I recall seeing a post a long time ago about this also happening to someone's Penelope Messenger. It seems like a risk with this kind of rectangular-shaped hardware due to the screw being where the hardware bears the weight of the bag / strap.
I've actually customised all of my Penelope Messengers so far with a removable strap because of that old post I remember seeing... It's an extra 15 euros charge, but it's also a "one-off" charge if you request for the strap length to be changed too (at least for shortening the strap, which is what I've done so far). So I see it as worth the 15 euros cost not only to have the strap made removable, but also shortened a few inches to a length that works better on me.
So far, I don't think it makes a significant difference to the look of the bag! They've used a slightly smaller clasp on my Penelope Messengers, which doesn't look too chunky or anything on the bag. It's visible in these pics of my Chocolate Verona Penelope Messenger, and also partly visible in other pics of my Penelope Messengers further down on that page of the reference thread.
I had this happen on my Arianna. I put it back together with no glue and it didn’t work itself loose again. I also didn’t have a special screwdriver- I improvised with a paring knife. I don’t recommend that because you could scratch the hardware.
Of note I have had this happen on non-MM bags too.
I was actually hinting around to see who loves it most for Christmas in July purposes....
I've done some soul searching and realized that besides teal, diamond is just a tad too blingy for me in general. I was able to find the best home with @southernbelle43 for my copper Penny and am very content with just the pewter/teal PhoebeI was actually hinting around to see who loves it most for Christmas in July purposes....
.Same with me. I'm glad I ordered mine in Stella and intended to use it for night time function. I only have teal and pewter, too. I don't think I can handle anything more than that. I'm just not good with metallic or bling.
And Southernbelle is thrilled to death to have th e “copper penny.”
And yay for Southern belle! [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]
