I wouldn't definitely exchange it for a bag with a traditional date code. I also buy preloved on occasion and I wouldn't buy your bag even with a copy of the receipt. My Triangle Softy was made in Italy and his has the traditional style date code. Good luck!
Hey it's me again... the other purchaser of the triangle softy from eBay....so after several requests I got him...I thinks it's actually a man (not that that matters)...anyways I got a PDF copy of receipt and I have a suspicion it is same receipt you also received....since it is a receipt from Italy the format is different than ours here in the US so I googled to see if I could find examples receipts from Italy...because I know receipts are also faked...very first thing that came up was this photo and the image of the " fake '' is exactly like the only I received....any thoughts? It won't let me upload the picture but here is a link to what I found, scroll down to last photo....sorry to,bother you but I thought you would be interested as I find it a bit concerning ... http://www.fashionpulis.com/2013/10/letter-from-reader-beware-of-sellers-of.html

I can't really see up close the receipts in the link you shared however I would urge you to always get your items authenticated. I used ****************** to authenticate my bag and have used them several times. I'm comfortable with my purchase's authenticity but you have to be comfortable with yours. I've seen some Youtubers say they get their item authenticated from multiple authenticators just to be more sure. There are lots of authenticators out there. Good luck to you and do keep me posted. Btw the receipt, I believe, was dated for may 23rd and there were 1 or 2 other items on the receipt. I have purchased LV items in both France and Italy and the receipt this seller sent me looks legit. Again I'm not an authority and certainly paperwork can be fabricated.

Ok my receipt is from June 6th so not the same. I'm just being paranoyed I think. I plan to get it authenticated pretty soon for peace of mind.
 
I have noticed during the weekend was available online... probably a return. Has anyone purchased it recently? How do you like it, guys? I returned mine...
I really like this bag a lot but it's pretty heavy I must admit. The canvas is thicker than what's being used in most bags currently being produced by LV, which I initially looked at as a plus but I can see how the thickeness which implies heavy could be less than desirable. Still loving the bag though.

You're right - it is a much heavier/substantial bag! Reminds me more of a leather than a canvas bag. Glad you're still loving yours - me too! [emoji173]️[emoji1]
 
I'm in! Used it for the first time yesterday. Went shopping and put allmy purchases in there. Very comfortable strap.
I'm a cross-body bag girl and have never had a "hobo" style bag before. But I like this bag! The straps are very soft and comfortable. They take the weight off your shoulders, literally.

Another thing/thought: you have to little help the canvas to slouch the right way, otherwise there are two scenarios:
1. Zipper wrinkles (is not able to stay in the centre and leans toward one of the sides of the bag when you just pick it up without pushing the canvas down,
2. Canvas was pushed down and zipper is perfect.
That is my observation.

So...now I am totally confused what to do... Return vs. Keep. Hm. What a case!
 
So did you end up keeping or returning it?I got mine yesterday and I am totally confused..it is not a comfortable bag for me..the beautiful leather strap tends to dig into my shoulder if the bag is filled.The zippered pocket on the outside is practical but so hard to slip cell phone in especially when bag is full.Its a gorgeous and unique bag but not very practical..I am leaning towards returning it and getting a IENA MM or PM.

You are the BEST! Thank you! :smile:
For the ladies with the Softy, do you find that the area where the top zipper is crinkles when you pick it up?
How are you liking this bag now?I got mine yesterday and I am not sure whether to keep it or return it.I do not like how the zipper wrinkles and its an effort to keep the top pushed down to make it look nice.I guess thats because the canvas is so thick.Also the strap tends to dig into the shoulder if the bag is fuller.So confused should I keep it for its good looks or return it for more practical bag.
