I bought one and returned it because the leather around the opening was a bit too puckered. I did not take photos before I returned it. I ordered a second and kept it because the puckering wasn't as noticeable, and I think it might relax over time. (The first one might relax over time as well.) I think the puckering was caused by the very strong magnet, which is interesting because the magnets on other Hops have been too weak. The flap on both Dark Praline Small Hops completely covered the opening, which I appreciate. The bags felt very secure.
MO has various 10% off opportunities, at least on the US website, including 10New for a first purchase. (I have no affiliation with them, but have been VERY happy with my experiences.) I also purchased their one remaining Rosewood Small Hop and love it and have used 10TEXT for 10% off for subscribing to texts and 10APP for a first app purchase. I would love another coupon, so if you have one, will you share, please?
In case this helps someone, I am including a review of my experience with MO: As I stated above, I am very happy with my experience shopping there and look forward to my next purchase. I paid for express shipping, and they shipped the same day each time even though once the item was purchased after the published cutoff time. The packaging and presentation were exceptional! They use lovely lavender tissue paper and receipt envelopes. I would not hesitate to purchase a gift from them. The refund on the first Dark Praline Hop I ordered was a little slow, but not enough to dissuade me from ordering from them again. The customer service I received the one time I called them (about the first Hop) was excellent and accurate, and I received a survey about my experience with that CSR. Before purchasing, I confirmed with Bottega Veneta customer service that MO is an authorized BV retailer. I have purchased BV only directly or through authorized retailers.
As an FYI, one of the three Small Hop bags I purchased from MO did not have a security/return tag on it. I include this information as a heads up in case you purchase and decide to return. When I called customer service, I let them know the bag did not have a security/return tag on it, and the rep noted my account. I assume most of their items will have a security/return tag. Two of the three Hops had a security/return tag fastened loosely around the handle. All of the Hops included the BV dustbag and booklet and were in pristine brand new condition.
I will try to post pictures of my Small Hop family later this week (I also have a black one from 24S), but I wanted to let you all know about the great deal on the Dark Praline Small Hop! With an additional 10% off coupon, the Dark Praline Small Hop would cost $2970 USD before tax! 😃
