We are twinning in grief. I too know my bag will be sent to Paris without even knowing if it’s repairable. They may not touch it. Once I have it looked at to confirm it needs to be sent off with or without the possibility of a repair, I have to really think about when I want to send it. It’s only 1.5 months old. I have used it several times, but I noticed the stain after its first use.

I wonder if this might be one of the drawbacks with the service. (The long delay between drop off and treatment) As with most stains, the longer they are left to set the harder they are to remove.
Hi @Lizzie2022 , so sorry to hear about your bag! I have the same problem with my matte vanilla alligator Birkin. Wondering if you managed to speak to the store and what you decided to do? Thank you.
Unfortunately yes. I do think light cream colours might have a high chance of yellowing even with great care. This from SAV SA who has seen this happening under the years as well and many friends who own light coloured croc (including Hima and colours like Poussierre). I think both options are probably equally at risk. My advice is choose the colour you love most and just enjoy it. Goes without saying that dark colours are the most stable. Congrats in advance!
Thanks for sharing. I love both colours but vanille slightly more. But since vanille is already yellow, the yellowing shouldn't affect it much? Am I making sense here...? 🤔
Getting a fourth Mini Kelly is also not making much sense to me...
It actually darkens, not just yellowing. I have seen it myself. Don't worry, I'm with you on the 4 (plus) MKs. 😆Thanks for sharing. I love both colours but vanille slightly more. But since vanille is already yellow, the yellowing shouldn't affect it much? Am I making sense here...? 🤔
