To keep or not?

Bought on FP for $700. I have never had anything in ostrich leather before so I was curious and I love BV wallets. But I'm used to bright, fun colors and so I feel underwhelmed by a black wallet. :lol: At the same time, black is a good color for a wallet because it gets handled a lot. Thoughts? Worth keeping or not?

Keep it if you love it. Return it if you just like it. Bright happy colors are fun for wallets, but blacknis so classic and elegant. Personally, i think this ostrich nero wallet is gorgeous. I would definitely keep it. It will last you many years, if not forever. And you can switch up wallets as you change bags…..

Decided to return the ostrich wallet. I kept wanting it to be a fun color rather than black. Too expensive to not totally love it. If anyone is interested in it, it will likely be back on FP later this week. It is in like new condition IMO.

On the plus side I ordered two BV bags from TRR. Ordering from them always makes me nervous because they are so bad at disclosing condition but we will see! Trying my first Nodini, I've been eyeing this embroidered floral one for a long time. The hobo I've never seen before but it's totally my style. Love hobos!

God move to return if you have any doubts!

love both of these bags. Nodini is the perfect crossbody, you will probably love it. Such a pretty design too! And the hobo is:heart: i was eyeing that one on TRR myself! Would love to see pix when they arrive. Hoping the condition of each is what you wish it to be. Ive had good luck with my last couple of TRR bags….

I didn't end up taking pics of the bags because they went right back to TRR. The Nodini was beautiful but absolutely reeked of perfume. It was so strong I could smell it without opening the bag and had a migraine within 30 minutes of having it in my house. Sigh. The purple hobo was way too huge, stiff at the top so it didn't drape well at all, and the shoulder strap is very slick, just slides right off. The bag also had flaws so I was able to return. Do not recommend this bag.

Thats too bad! That Nodini is stunning, I’ve been wanting that exact one too. I wonder if they sprayed it with febreeze or some such product. I have a mini Cabat that arrived very stinky too and has been airing out for at least 8 months now :lol: And a shame about the hobo, in the pic the color and style look just:heart::heart::heart:, but sounds like its not a practical bag. Glad TRR took them back, it can be tricky with their final sale policies. And the relisted Nodini mentions nothing about odor!

I considered keeping the Nodini to see if it will air out because I really liked it otherwise, but I didn't want to take the chance that it will continue smelling just because it was so strong. There might have been some smoke smell mixed in.

Another will come along, they pop up occasionally. Better to wait for one with no odor, just in case. I bet Modern Leather would do a good job though, cleaning it up and getting the smell out.
