I like your attitude! It's very refreshing.
Besides, it probably depends a little bit on what you have in it, at least on my bags with a flaps it does šŸ˜

I don't know where this expectation of some kind of [perceived] perfection came from, or when it started, and it's one of the reasons I'm not on here much anymore. A few years ago, at least for me, it started to feel like people were actively looking for issues and it became a bit too depressing for me as it made me start looking at my items differently (items I've had for ages and was very happy with!). And unfortunately all these returns help push the prices up, which people then complain about!

I've since sold most of my LV's and other high end brands (got a few items still to sell) and started buying bags and accessories from a local brand where everyone has a more positive attitude - I feel no stress about bags and stuff anymore šŸ˜Š

Itā€™s hard bc for the price I understand wanting the best looking one! But at the end of the day itā€™s just a bag to be enjoyed and if you donā€™t sell it and get one you do! Thank you for the nice commentsā¤ļø

just joining the club and have a question about the s lock. It closes easily but does not pop open when unlocked but rather gets stuck. Is this something that will improve over time or should I take it to get looked at? Thanks

I would take it in. Thatā€™s not normal. I had one like that that I took in and they sent it to repair for a new lock. Worked perfect when I got it back.

I came home today with a Pochette Metis. The funny thing is that it was never on my radar. I thought I would get the Sac Sport, but it doesn't have a back pocket or a crossbody strap. My husband even liked the Metis. I can fit everything I need inside it, and the back pocket holds my phone nicely. It is not as heavy as I thought it would be. Plus, she's made in France. Now, I just have to practice opening it and closing it! šŸ™‚
I am excited to be joining this club!
