    Hi y'all,
    maybe you guys remember the little horror trip with my orange Pom from VC.
    Well, end of story is that I will not get a refund. They "checked" the bag twice and refuse to deem it defective. According to them, the bag is totally fine and the broken shoulder strap doesn't matter at all...?!
    I can now choose, if I want the bag back or they'll put it up for sale on my account.
    I just complained about their practice again, because I cannot understand their reaction at all.
    Anyway, I told them to send the Pom back to me. It's paid for anyway...
    I already looked for a replacement strap and I've found one I kinda like. Hopefully, the color will match...
    I will refrain from buying at VC again. For many years I was a happy customer there, but no more... :tdown:

    I’m so sorry to hear that you didn’t get your refund. You must be feeling disappointed with their verdict. I feel you since I also lost the urge to pounce at VC bargains after my own bad transaction with them. I hope the replacement you found will make up for it. And there’s no hiccups this time.

    As for me, I did manage to get my money back from the painted leather fiasco and it is now listed under VCHK with a mention that it has been repainted. I bought it from a seller in France but it was assessed in VC Hong Kong which is allegedly more strict when it comes to quality control. Although I got a refund, I’m very weary that now I ask more detailed questions about condition but I haven’t bought any more Balenciaga bags from VC.

    Hey guys,
    my Pom came back today...
    Though, still not happy with the way things turned out with VC :yucky:
    Will delete my account. Never again will I purchase with them again. This disaster was def a lesson for me.
    The shoulder strap is kinda nice, I think. At least, I can use the bag now.

    My new to me Balenciaga Day
    If i am reading the tag correctly it is a 2012 in the Cassis color.
    My first day! I own firsts, a hip and clutches I've turned into mini crossbodies.. so excited for a new shape.
    She needs some love (a shampoo and conditioning treatment for sure) and some tlc to the corners...but I purchase these Bals purely to do that!
    @muchstuff - my puddle of smoosh (and if you want to verify, that would be lovely)
