Ode to the Picotin

So, a little disappointment. The purse arrived on Monday and I opened it up yesterday. There is a small spot on the side up near the top, and it almost looks as though somone put polish or dye or ink on it to cover it up. Do I accept this? or do I send it back and continue to wait until the "perfect" bag comes in?

it is hard to see in the picture. I have received new Hermes bags with a little something and just kept them, but it is a personal decision.

Thanks. I am torn. I put a call in to my SA for advice. after waiting, I would have felt better if it didn't look like someone was trying to cover something up with polish or ink or something.

Did u purchase it from boutique? If you did, i will return it. If not, send it to the nearest store with inhouse craftperson, they could to colour touchup. I sent my B in last time when i accidentally tried to clean an oily spot with wet wipes, the colour runs off to my horror. The spot recolouring fixed it though.
 
I’ve been stalking the H.com for a Picotin and debating between 18 vs 22 and pop of color vs neutral. I visited Rodeo Drive Beverly Hills this past week thinking I’d come home with at a twilly or scarf as a remembrance of the trip and to my surprise they had this Picotin 22 Noir with SHW!! I figured it was fate and pulled the trigger on my FIRST H purchase! :yahoo:The SA was so nice and it was a wonderful experience. I’ll be visiting NY in a few weeks so hopefully I’ll find a twilly, calvi and/or bastia for a pop of color.

For those who use the Maitai bag inserts, would you recommend Gris or Taupe for this Noir Pico? I’m new to bag inserts so any guidance or reassurance that Maitai is the way to go would be appreciated. Don’t want to mess up my first H bag ;)
