So finally got my red patent cruise jumbo this week after lusting after it for weeks. The color is gorgeous like everyone had mentioned....a bright beautiful fire engine hot red, the size is perfect, the smell is lovely..haha...just kidding. It's a beautiful bag but now I'm having second thougths and these are the reasons why......
1. There are tiny spots on my bag....looks like dust trapped underneath the patent ...it's a black dot and no it doesn't like like a pen mark....no dents or holes just a black dot on the flap and on the right side of the bag.
Another spot is underneath the bag....it looks like a bubble. At first i thought it was the defect that someone mentioned on here but i looked closer and it doesn't look like a crack just a bump/bubble...looks like glue that stiffened up. This spot is tiny also.
I got this shipped to me so wasn't able to inspect it but when i opened the box i didnt noticed it at first cause the spots were tiny and the bag just stunned me... but now i have more time to check it i see it and now it bothers me. Are these defects or normal?
2. The second reason...is the strap suppose to be that stiff? I was surprise to see that the straps were also patent leather. My SA wrapped them up nicely inside the bag. When I took it out i was surprise to see how stiff they were...had a hard time adjusting them.....Will they soften up after use?
3. You guys weren't kidding about the fingermarks.....hahaha. Everytime you touch the bag, it leaves a mark....but the good thing is it does wipe off so not too worry about it but still ...you touch it and its there.
Let me know what you guys think. I would hate to return it cause it is a beauty but am really afraid the "imperfections" would bug the heck out of me through times.
