I have a raisin Birkin, too. Gorgeous color, especially in chevre. In my 20+ years of collecting, I have neither gone the reseller route nor have I experienced things falling off my Hermes bags...**knock on wood** So, given my experiences with H bags, I would feel uneasy keeping your bag after this incident. My reason: exactly what HKsai posted above. If you keep it and send it for repairs, you run the risk of confiscation if the bag is a fake. Are you willing to take that gamble? I'm not sure you are comfortable keeping this bag or you would not be here asking for opinions. Why not return the bag and let The RealReal fix it? Let them shoulder the burden and if you are able to re-purchase it after they correct the issue then it was meant to be. You've spent too much money to have ANY doubts about this bag.
The bag arrived broken, NAD, IMO. Hopefully they will refund.
I thought it would be helpful to post the return policy. There’s a time limit.
Maybe OP will provide an update.
