I’ve been looking for a reissue for a long time and finally settled for a mini yesterday. However lots of people are concerned over the “horizontal” lines all over the leather. I understand it’s this year’s distressed look but in your honest opinion, is it ugly? I’m asking in the unfortunate case I have to resell it down the line.View attachment 5655157
I don’t find it ugly - it’s more of the look and vibe of this bag. I don’t think the line would deter anyone from buying it if you’re thinking resale down the line.I’ve been looking for a reissue for a long time and finally settled for a mini yesterday.

My worry is that this season’s distressing does not look like the normal distressingI don’t find it ugly - it’s more of the look and vibe of this bag. I don’t think the line would deter anyone from buying it if you’re thinking resale down the line.
IMO, you should keep it if you’re 100% happy with the bag. If you’re not happy with it I would return and wait for a reissue that you love without hesitation. Plus you wont have to worry about the hassle of resale and potentially losing some money on this bag.
I see what you’re saying - it doesn’t look as creased as normal.My worry is that this season’s distressing does not look like the normal distressing
I don’t think age even comes into it, but I’m over 40 and the mini reissue is my favourite and most worn bag. I mainly wear my bags cross body, but either way I think this bag looks great on everyone, it’s mini without being too mini and fits a lot as well.Do you think it is odd looking for a 40-50 year old to wear a mini reissue as a shoulder bag? The bag is so small and cute and seems more appropriate for 20 year olds. Opinions?
Reissue looks really great and grand in larger size, 226 & 227Do you think it is odd looking for a 40-50 year old to wear a mini reissue as a shoulder bag? The bag is so small and cute and seems more appropriate for 20 year olds. Opinions?
I have a reissue 227 in grey with caviar leather and it is still one of my favorite handbags. I almost no longer use my jumbo cc classic but I still regularly use my reissue in 227. It is also much lighter.Reissue looks really great and grand in larger size, 226 & 227
