Thought long and hard about whether or not buying it pre loved. Then I thought long and hard about what pattern to get. I went in the LV boutique and LV in Bloomingdale’s. I inspected all corners and every inch of the bag... I’m home and looking at the lock which has some scratches and it looks to be slightly tarnished (you have to really inspect it to even notice) .... I’m bothered by the fact I’m not more bothered by this . I have no use for the lock but for the price I feel like I should have a brand new one .... but again, im not using it anyway. Regardless, I ended up buying the key chain as the statement piece and I LOVE LOVE LOVE how it looks. Thanks for letting me share!
