I didn't get caught up in the hype and have been watching this bag since it first came out. I knew it would be structured. I definitely researched it a lot, watched a lot of videos on you tube even. I normally wouldn't mind a structured bag one bit, but this is just not as appealing to me in person, especially for the price. I honestly don't even think I would like it in the tumbled leather [emoji17] It's a shame because I wanted this bag for so long and just wish I would love it. It's sad there isn't a return policy, especially because there is no way to see it in person first.

I'm sorry you're not happy with it. I hope you can find some way to sell it or move it on. Yes, the problem with not seeing something in person is that is doesn't always work out the way you thought it would. I've ordered too many things without seeing them first and were stuck with them. I have to agree about the tumbled leather-you might not like that one either, as it might not have enough structure.
 
I think a lot of people have this problem.
I was hesitant at first after I received my bucket bag even though I was so sure I would love the bag. so for the first few weeks I was so nervous about scratches, rain etc. that I didn't even took it once out of the house. Since I paid a lot of money I decided to just use the bag and what happened? I started to looooove the bag more and more.:D
It's now my everyday bag and I don't even care if it's raining outside. The bag makes me happy and I get so many compliments for the bag, even from men.:smile1:


So may I suggest, start using the bag and hopefully you fall in love with the bag too. Or try to sell it. But just keeping it is probably the worst decision, because you would be always reminded of the "lost" money.
But whatever you decide, take your time and it will be the right decision for you.
I was like you-I was nervous at first about the scratches, etc. but I have learned to love all of the imperfections and have found these bags to be perfect as my everyday bags. I use a combination of a bucket and tote every day for work.
 
It may sound strange, but the creaking/squeaking really bugs me. Also, I thought it would be somewhat stiff, but not as stiff as it is. It doesn't feel like a leather bag to me, very hard. I usually get a bag and can't wait to use it. I was very excited for this, but when it came I didn't even put my stuff in it. I don't know, just kind of let down about the whole thing.


YES! I didn't realize they were SO creaky. It's really off-putting. I have never seen a bag so noisy.
 
When is the next relaunch? It just says march on their website. I have the large bucket in black and have never worn it yet. I feel like the mini bucket might suit me better...

They usually announce a date and time closer to it via instagram or Facebook. I'm sure it will be posted on here within seconds of them posting it.

Thanks :) I'm definitely going to give the mini bucket a try this time. I really think I just went too big lol

I have both and feel the same way...like the mini bucket much better. I'm very tall so I had my doubts. I think the stiffness of the bags make them feel bigger. KWIM?
