I was so excited to receive this baby in the post today. On first glance it's a stunner. The leather has just the right amount of shine to it. The chain has that gorgeous bubble glow.

However my heart completely sunk when I saw that my so black boy wasn't so perfect. I hadn't seen this bag in person so upon inspection, all my worst fears about this bag were in front of me.
First of all there's a huge crease down one side of the bag which makes me question its robustness in comparison to my classic caviar flap. I know that lambskin isn't expected to be as resilient as caviar but I was hoping this grained version would fare better. This is a new unworn bag so how will it hold up after a few wears.
Bad side...

I've read about issues with chipping with the so blacks from 2015... I have one myself and haven't had any problems so far. But looking closely at my new boy I can already see some chipping. I've had this bag for one hour, I'm so disappointed!

I do love this bag so much. It's my ultimate dream bag. I contacted the boutique and luckily they have another one That i can exchange it for but the long term issues really worry me! Have any other so black boy owners experienced the same? I'm hoping the one in the boutique is perfect as the SAsaid it's fresh from Paris.
Here's a mod shot...
