Thank you so much. Since i didn't have much use of the first B, I'm enjoying her so much now and using every excuse to use her.
That's great news! I'm happy they do take responsibility, really as it should be. Is your B a special colour since they have to remake it? Lovely, i hope you will be able to post it soon
It's vermillion with ghw. I don't know if I'll be able to get the same since the manager asked me for alternate colors. Either way, I'm just happy I don't have to deal with the horrible bag smell!
I loved your reveal, congrats on your beautiful B.
Oh, sounds lovely - a little sad you might not get the exact specs.It's vermillion with ghw. I don't know if I'll be able to get the same since the manager asked me for alternate colors. Either way, I'm just happy I don't have to deal with the horrible bag smell!
But i agree no colour, however wonderful or rare, is worth living with the horrible smell. At least if it's as bad as i experienced, i still think i can smell it in the guest room or perhaps i'm paranoid
Thank you, hope you can do one soon as well. Fingers crossed
Yes, precisely
But the pic was taken before i got the nerve to pull off the plastic of the hardware..
Hello forum members. I am devastated to realize that I am posting in this thread! I got my b 35 taupe after a lengthy and patient 3 year wait and I adored adored adored this B! My DH flew overnight internationally to pick up this bag and it's the story and sentiment behind this bag I love more than the bag itself! I have been in denial that my beloved B is a stinker!! But I realized the fact almost straight away as I live in a tropical country with 350 sunny days. Well finally, after 2 years I had an discussion about it with my boutique and they asked me to return it to send to Paris. They have been quite vague( but very very courteous) and not admitted to anything, nor committed to a time frame or given me an idea of the outcome. The bag itself was in pristine condition.
So I am so sad today. Hoping it will end well for me.. Will keep you posted. Thank you for letting me share.
Some recent looks with the B. My style's very casual so this color was prefect and chameleon.

Don't be sad, it is just a bag and can and will be replaced. Heck, if they don't give you Taupe, go for Etain maybe, or Ecorce, or Étoupe, they are all similar and would suit york casual and chic style

+1, Well said, marbella.
I understand how you feel - when my silver CDC was lost, I was heartbroken, because although it could be replaced by insurance, it was a special gift from DH. I was so upset.
Now that I have replaced it, I realize it doesn't matter whether it's that exact bracelet or not - I still have all the same sentimental feelings.
Your new bag will still carry that great meaning and great story and the icky feeling of having had your first bag be a skunk will be like it never happened

Last year I had my bamboo B replaced due to the smell. My replacement turned out to be a stinker again. I chose to keep it because I love the color so much and figured I'd just not use it in the summer months. I took my bag out the other week for St. Patrick's day, and as it was sitting in my office, it started to smell, and the temperature wasn't even that warm! I kept hoping no one would walk into my office, and I came to the realization that this is silly to keep the bag and be fearful of using it in a professional environment. I went out to eat that night and saw 2 cops dining. I deliberately sat as far away as possible in fear that they'd smell my bag!
So I brought my bag into H this weekend to see what they suggest. This store is not the store I originally purchased the bag from, but I feel that I have a better relationship there and like the staff so much more. The store manager helped me, smelled the bag, and wrote up the receipt. She said we'd request the exact replacement, but also wrote to let her know if we need to choose alternate colors. I also mentioned to her that my C has the same issue, and I only discovered it last summer while on vacation in the French Riviera where the sun was beating down on us all the time. I expressed how hesitant I am to give it up because it's a C. She said not to be afraid to bring it in.
So it looks like I'll probably bring in my C as well. I'm more flexible on not getting the exact replacement for that because although I like the color (flamingo), I can't say I use pink bags often. I am nervous though because my C's hardware has been scratched. I dropped it on a cobblestone walkway during vacation. I just hope H doesn't think I'm trying to get new bags after all this time!
Has anyone brought back a stinker that wasn't in pristine condition? My B was pretty close to pristine.
