Question about bubbles

[suzlywoozly]

I just took the plunge and picked this tote up at Nordy's today... http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2986584...Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6007187&P=2
I have had my eye on it for a while now and looked at quite a few bags like it over on e-bay. I noticed people mentioning the bags getting "bubbles" on the outside and I was wondering if this was normal and what causes it. Thanks!

Bump... Anyone???

Hi Suzly ..
I think what they're referring to is that the PVC fabric is lots of thin layers and sometimes with wear, small bubbles appear between the layers. I've had a bag like this for years but it hasn't bubbled. If it does, I'd send it back but never had a problem with mine. Because it's PVC you can wipe it clean so it's pretty low maintenance

Thanks for the response rasishzz! I am glad to hear your bag hasn't bubbled. I just hate the thought of spending $600 on a bag and for it not to look perfect. Somebody told me that you can clean the outside with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser but I would be so afraid of damaging it. Thanks again!!

I tried cleaning mine with magic eraser and it works perfect. It didn't damage my bag so far..
