I have the exact same bag, bought in February.. I already used a few times and mine looks newer than yours. No threads and no peeling. I know it's very frustrating but I would return it.

Hi, everyone. I just received the bag, it’s really lovely but I’m not sure it’s normal or should be considered “quality issue” for this BV bag. One stitch on the strap looks uneven and the some threads end exposed. Also the back of the strap, I guess it’s side painting. It seems start peel off a little bit(very tiny).
I won’t mind a little “defect” as long as it won’t cause any serious issues while starting use it. Please let me know what you guys think. Should I keep it? Or should I send it back? thank you very much.

At that price? I’d return it. Accepting defects in high ends bags is a slippery slope, the brands shouldn’t be able to get away with shoddy work.

Thank you all for all your lovely replies. Yes I would book the return or exchange(only if I did not need to pay extra customs). I bought a big wallet from bottega years ago. I was very pleased with the quality . I saw a review video on YouTube, the Korean lady has the same bag, and I can see the same defects on her strap. That is just sad considering their bags are super pricey( in Asia the price is much higher than Europe)

I just received mine from the BV website in the Camping color. It has the exact same threads and glazing. I have a feeling this is just how the bag is. Hope this helps!

What do you mean by ‘thread issue’? Are you referring to the seam on the strap due to it not being one continuous piece of leather? *Rather being two separate pieces glued/stitched together.
