Stickers on Garden Collection Coussin?

[TomMi39]

I'm going to buy a preloved Coussin in navy with the multicolour monogram. But now someone told me that these are only stickers .... does anybody have more information? Does anybody have problems with peeling off?

It rather looks like a heat stamp, the same technique they use for monogramming. But for this they have a printed multicolour foil.
I am also curious how they hold up on the soft leather.

So you mean it's possible that the foil wrap off?

Well, yes, it might. But I guess that needs intensive use and years.
When doing hot stamps on luggage tags, it is better to pick metallics like Gold or Silver, because they tend to stick for longer than the regular matte colours. But the Coussin is also lambskin, softer than most other skins they use, so it might behave differently.
If there are people out there who have this model, I hope they can come and tell us if they have issues already.
The other possibility is that they directly screen printed onto the embossed leather (like the lining of the Valentine's collection), but in theory that can also rub off over time.
This kind of issue was discovered very early with the giant bi-colour Empreinte pieces. If the Coussin is sensitive like that, owners can tell us already. If not, you are safe to buy it I think.

Thanks for your answers!

I don't use my bags often, so I think for me personally is the risk of wearing off the colour not so big.
