Agree, the lock plate is meant to look like that but if you don't love it you could try exchanging it I suppose or sell it on? Is it a Ledbury? I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem selling it. NVT isn't for everyone, I know I thought that was what I wanted but when I tried it I wasn't keen.
What does Mulberry's one year warranty cover?.

Just a quick shot of the leather on 4 of my bags, first two are Bryn and Bayswater both in oak NVT, there is huge natural variation in the leather. Also included a pic of the lock plate on my bays, I've barely used my bays, the lock looks the same as when I got it.
4th pick is my Mitzy in eggplant, it is in pebbled leather and is fabulous. She is a proper workhorse, the leather is bombproof!
5th is my Daria in pheasant green, the leather is soft spongy and while the leather is not as hard wearing as Mitzy it is equally fabulous. It's a very even, deeply saturated colour. Not everyone is a fan of soft spongy as it's not as robust as NVT but I've used my Daria a lot and it still looks great.
Sorry for the long ramble! Hope this was vaguely helpful. There is a mulberry out there to suit you. I'm sure we can help you find it

I can't see any scratches but agree with gunsandbangoes that this is what the lock plates look like. I'm inclined to think you have maybe bought the wrong bag for your expectations in terms of leather and hardware. When you're in the UK go to the Bond St store and have a really good look at all the different types of leather you can get and maybe move yours on if you really don't like her. There is a leather for everyone but it does take a lot of looking to find the right one and I also agree that the m.com isn't good t really show casing what the leather looks like. The feel of leather is important to me too, so enjoy a good shop, pick everything up, smell it hold it, model it, really see what feels right for you.
I have to shop for a long while before I make any purchase at full price to make sure it's love and not an expensive mistake.
I really hope you can fall in love with her as she's a gorgeous bag and not one I own, but that said I do have nvt in other pieces and I love them all because they feel different to other bags I own. I hope my ramble helps

Love your egg plant Mitzy .. I so want one of them!!
Thanks
I love it, it's the east west and one of my most used bags. I wish mulberry still made them, it took me a while to warm to Mitzy but I'm a total convert now.
Thanks
I've only just started feeling I must have one recently when I saw one IRL -

Thanks guns, great idea and the Bryn NVT wasn't what I was expecting, much better than I thought, just goes to show
Smooth matt leather
Choc SBS NVT
Spongy Daria
Spongey pebbled effie
Shiny grain Bryn
Smooth Taylor..... Shows lots of marks
Darwin leather
Grainy print, very uniformed in appearance
I love how helpful people on this forum are (plus we get to show off our bags!)
I wonder how many variations there are altogether?
We need Elvis, Jazzy, Onda etc. I'm sure they'll know!

Wow. Thank you for the effort you're putting in to help here. Like said, I'm new to Mulberry and will need to explore a lot more. I want to like Mulberry as I'm looking to try out different designer brands. I have LVs, a Chanel, some contemporary designers and some more not branded handcrafted leather bags; but I'm pretty sure this is my first NVT.Just a quick shot of the leather on 4 of my bags, first two are Bryn and Bayswater both in oak NVT, there is huge natural variation in the leather.

Yes, Mulberry will definitely be on my visit list. And a lesson learned here is to never buy a purse without seeing it in person.I can't see any scratches but agree with gunsandbangoes that this is what the lock plates look like.

I had the pick of 4-5 Daria's and each hide was slightly different
Forgot this one, it was a SBS NVT in oak that went back because I didn't like the marks on the front
Other than that the hide was neat perfect
Also large grain nappa.... Went back as thought it was a by dry and it had a scratch on it and some dodgy stitching
