That’s not a flaw! That’s the end and closure of the stitching. Same way when we sew things, by machine or hand, we double down at the end to make sure the stitches are locked in and doesn’t unravel.
Right! When we sew on a sewing machine the stitches have to be smooth. In the end, poor-quality seams can lead to the bag being quickly worn out, which obviously will not please you. My grandma was sewing leather gloves and purses by herself she always told me that every stitch has to be done purposely and qualitatively. I'm also looking to sew things from leather, I bought a special sewing machine https://www.craftyhangouts.com/best-sewing-machine-for-leather/#product6.
 
Sooo I finally ordered Beri in chalk and received it super fast two days from ordering - BUT they send me a wrong one! I received the one with chain strap instead of leather. Suuuuper annoyed as in my last order the product was faulty and took forever to get it changed. I love their bags but sad that these issues on delivery / quality seems to occur. I really wanted to start using my Beri this weekend when lock down is finally over, the bag is super nice and super good quality just not the one that I wanted. Now just waiting someone to arrange the change, I hope they handle this well as I wanted to order dix soon after but not sure anymore, so tired of sending these bags back every time. Really would like to get more Polene bags but this hassle every time kind of disturbs my joy here.
 
They have a mini Numero Neuf! I was hoping for a small size in this style but for some reason the design doesn’t look good in this size. The proportions seem odd. Thoughts?

OMG now I don’t know what to do!!! I’ve been stalking the Neuf in the pink but now with the mini version I’m torn.

I agree that the proportions being different is an adjustment but I don’t know that I think it looks bad, it’s just a slightly different look.

I feel like it makes the small size of the bag look even cuddlier, like it’s a cozy winter scarf lol.

Ugh decisions! So far my pink bags are smaller pieces, see below. Should I get the bigger Neuf or the smaller?

Although I do also have the Douze / Cyme which is bigger. This I think of as more lilac, but given that it has the folds, I suppose it *would* be quite similar in style with the bigger Neuf?

I think the mini size is sooo cute! Personally I like it better than the regular size. I am now tempted…

the Mini neuf looks slightly bigger than your other pink bags. So it depends on what size bag you’re looking for!

The Mini Neuf is so gorgeous! I was about to purchase the full size and now I’m torn. Really wondering what fits in the Mini. I personally don’t think the Neuf looks good worn with the long strap so the Mini could be a great option for a nice crossbody if it fits the essentials.

i agree with this.I didn’t go for the full size because it looked bulbous when worn crossbody The strap also looks too thin for the large bag. But the mini is so cute!
