Hello everyone. Need some quick advice. I recently bought a pre-loved Odeon PM. It arrived just as described except for a small crack in the canvas on the top of the front pouch. Crack is very small. I contacted the seller and they have offered options of a discount, which would bring the bag to $375, or a return. And I'm torn.
$375 is a super deal but I'm worried the crack will worsen. On the other hand, the bag is in great condition otherwise, which leads me to believe it was taken care of at least as well as I would have. And judging by the location of the crack, there's a likelihood that if I went and bought a new one (or one in better condition), the crack would still happen. (It's where the front pouch "flexes") Plus, then I'd be super paranoid about using the pocket-- don't want to pay more for the bag to be crackless and in the end, have the crack anyway.
What's your take? I know the crack isn't repairable by LV and they prob won't do anymore work on the bag since it is cracked, but I'm not sure that's a big deal. I'm considering just keeping the bag and using a flexible, invisible glue to keep the crack from opening and worsening and then calling it a day but I'm still uncertain... TIA
