Hi PF friends, just want to verify whether you're experiencing the same thing for your old B's perhaps? Mine has some sort of breaking happening at both ends of the flap-- spine part of the bag. To give you a bit of context. My B40 is 6 years old now since I got it in 2018. I would like to assume that this is part of the normal deterioration of the material? I mean even B's aren't forever right? I would appreciate your thoughts and your own experience, if you have time to share it. Thank you!

Thank you! It doesn't really bother me as much because I know my bag is 6 years old. Though I'd like to hear from other B owners. I appreciate you. Kisses.
6 years old in the Hermès world is brand spanking new! These bags last a life time, of course if they're not too badly treated! The resin on your bag can be fixed by the Hermès spa without any problem.
