You and your husband are correct. I have to admit it’s one of their key to success, to make their customer in a dilema for wanting it, then FOMO, then buying the bag, then regret it because of the bag is not perfect, then start looking for new bag.
I am one of their fool customer who bought bandouliere strap with RCP for AU$1250 to replace all the problematic strap. My PM strap feels so stiff and not comfortable, my Boulogne strap is comfortable but a bit too short for my liking, speedy B DE strap also too stiff for my shoulder. And btw.. I don’t need the RCP on my bandouliere strap but it cost me a fortune for something I don’t use. And recently they launch new bandouliere strap without RCP which is much cheaper and again I am kicking my self..
