the black selma messenger looks good! Looking at both your selma messengers, it makes me want to go back to Macy's to exchange it for another one. I feel like my letters are a little crooked. What do y'all think? I'm a very particular person (not quite OCD yet lol) and I feel like it's worth just TRYING to see if there are better looking ones out there. If not, I can live with what I have but just the thought of "what if" lingers in my mind hahah. When I purchased mine this past Sunday, I actually asked the SA to bring out 2 other ones to compare so I can get the best looking one but all of them were a little crooked in one way or another. When you lads purchase handbags, are you particular with the hardware, stitching, and leather like I am, or am I the only crazy one?? (I apologize if the photo's huge)


The issue is not whether are not the letters are crooked. The issue is that you're unhappy with your purchase. Therefore, I think you have the right to ask for an exchange. ;)

thank you all for your input and being supportive :) I'll go to another Macy's tomorrow and see if I find the one. I just wish the SA's would be more understanding of my 'consumer rights' and be willing to do what I ask without giving me an attitude.. -__-
 
Just got my silver, snake embossed Selma today. It is beautiful and elegant! It isn't saffiano leather, but snake embossed cow leather. The silver will go with everything and the color is a pretty metallic without being too flashy. I think my Selma collection is complete (at least for now): palm, mandarin, pearl grey, and metallic silver.
 
Wallet, cosmetics bag, and bottle of water if put sideways

Even with the water bottle, I'm able to zip it up

I would love to see pictures of your new bag! :smile1:

To be honest, the letters on both my messengers seem to be a bit "off" but it doesn't bother me. If you feel yours is that obvious there is nothing wrong for wanting to look at others they have in stock - who cares what the SA's think! I inspect my bags the same way before purchasing :yes:

Even though we all know MK isn't top of the line, even when spending a few hundred on a bag, we deserve bags free of defects. I am also very picky about my bags and feel like if I'm going to be spending $350 on something, i want it to be perfect. SA's need to shove the attitude and do their jobs. I wouldn't care what the SA says, I'm not being pushed into purchasing or keeping something I don't want for whatever reason!

Take it back and don't take any sh*t off the SA. The letters are off. If you paid half price for an item or if the material was like real leather you can expect variation/ flaw. But its the letters that have not been put on straight.

When I went to get my black Selma there was a mark on the back. I was umming and arhhin to the sales assistant that it was a shame it wasn't perfect and I didn't have anything to clean it with. Bless she stood there for 10 mins getting this mark out for me. Don't worry im sure ul be fine and they will just exchange it. Department store tend to be good like that ;)
 
I am very particular about my purchases, it's our right as consumers. As for your messenger, I agree. Those letter look very crooked and I would exchange, hope it works out for you and you find one you love!

the "HA" look a little off but its not something i would majorly freak out over. the letters on my bag look alright.

i don't see anything wrong with taking it back and getting a better looking one if it bothers you that much.

you all are so right and I think just like you. If i'm going to a certain amount of money, it better be perfect when i get it. I went back this morning to the same Macy's, hoping I'd see a different SA so I wouldn't cause the same SA anymore trouble but unfortunately, she was the only one there. So i approached her and told her that I purchased the bag earlier in the week and I couldn't get over the fact the the letters looked crooked. She was very hesitant at first and said that the reason why she doesn't want to bring out too many because she doesn't want to open them because customers like me, want a brand new bag that no one's ever touch, etc. I totally agree with her on that, however, i wasn't going to rip out and open everything up. I just simply wanted to peek and see the name to see if it was perfect enough. Once it's perfect, i will THEN inspect the body of the bag. She ended up being really nice and helpful about it, which I appreciated but at first, she was ehh. Long story NOT short, I finally found the bag I'm willing to keep :) Now I just have to prep her next Wednesday after my very last final with the rain and stain repellent and TAKE HER OUT FOR A NICE WEEKEND! :D
