I am thinking about using carbon pro, I just wanted to make sure it won't leave like a stain on the leather
Does anyone own the Belt Cassette? I've been swooning over the regular Cassette for a couple of years now but I took a look at the current bags I have and I just can't bring myself in purchasing a bag of the same size as the rest. I really like the shape of the Belt Cassette and I intend to use it as an on-the-go bag! Easy to throw over my shoulders while fitting my essentials.
Does the belt strap extend long enough to throw over your chest like a fanny pack? Also, if its filled, does the magnetic closure lost integrity over use? Thank you all in advance!

Just got my replacement in the mail and it's the same hot mess. I think I'm going to send it back for a refund and never purchase from BV again.
What a shame. I guess those bumps and gaps are intentional, but I'm not a fan. Love the color and the leather, though.
I just bought the Cassette in the Anchor colorway. I love the variation on metallic (and it reminds me both of aluminum foil and old-school film/cassette tape, in a good way 
). It's a more subtle version of the Chlorphyll colorway (which I like in the abstract, but green isn't a color I use much).
BTW, I also came across this Candy Cassette (at Moda Operandi), which really looks like it's woven from candy. Very cute....

I have not seen the Anchor cassette on the BV website yet, but I love it! Please share photos when yours arrives!I just bought the Cassette in the Anchor colorway. I love the variation on metallic (and it reminds me both of aluminum foil and old-school film/cassette tape, in a good way

Will do! I've noticed BV doesn't have it on their site. Saks and Bergdorf are both carrying it.
New member so wasn't sure where to post this! I bought this black padded cassette a few days ago and today noticed the edges where the seams meet is flawed. It had this white stuff on it and was sticky so I am assuming it's glue. I am a perfectionist so it bugged me a lot. I contemplated returning it but FarFetch wasn't picking up the two times I called so I feel like it's a sign from god saying i should just keep it it's so unnoticeable. Anyway, I ended up doing surgery on my bag and user tweezers to "push" the glue back in / take off what I could. I know, it's horrible. Is this normal? Or did I get a defect? Attached photos show before and after. All the corners don't seem neat, which is weird fro BV and such a high price point... I cross referenced my other bags and the corners are not this bad...

I’d like to thank @averagejoe for posting a photo of the black! It looked so good on you! I love the minimalism.

Congratulations! Me too!
The bag is also incredibly easy to use. I like its no-fuss magnetic closure.
For what it's worth, this finish *is* intentional. This new(ish?) variation on the Cassette is now on the US BV site. It looks to be a satin-like finish (somewhere between matte and patent) with deliberately wavy/wrinkly texture. Apparently this style is always classified as a Men's Cassette (as sleepycow noted), even in 'traditionally' feminine pink colors like Melon Washed or Lollipop.
