Presenting my new to me 2008 Trim II 31 Black Evergrain PHW.

I'm deciding to keep it or not because of rubbing on all 4 corner edges, 2 small leather peels by the zipper and the zipper thread looks like it was fixed (3 strands instead of 4). Do you think this okay for a bag that's preloved? View attachment 4781380

It looks like normal wear and tear, but what feels like a comfortable level of wear and tear for one person will feel entirely different to another person. The corners of my Trim bag look like yours although they have become less of an issue with some good conditioner. Overall, I think the bag looks really beautiful, and I wonder if a bit of black shoe cream/dye would help touch it up to your satisfaction.

Thank you so much for the reply and your input on preloved bags. Really appreciate it! :D

I bought the exact same one - I love it. It’s a smidge small, but I love the fact that it converts from a true shoulder bag to a true crossbody.

@Kimbashop the hardware is the same as the old trim; the shape is more square, I think, and the strap has three very widely spaced holes, so that it can be a shoulder bag or a short or long crossbody. It’s super super practical.

I’m now plotting what color to get next....
