Oh my gosh! That’s horrible!Thank youI only buy like new, and ask specifically for confirmation of this and details in convos with sellers. How hard can it be?! Describing something like new, with store tags still attached and it arrives with black green spots on the front, a hole in the handle and lots of scratches. Not to mention folded/bent and crumpled in to a 1/3 too small box. And the seller is not in the EU so there are fees as well. Totally unnecessary if the seller had been up front as I wouldn't have bought the bag in the first place.
But with Bal it's just true that many of the best colours are from earlier years so it's hard not to buy when you finally find one of them that you've been looking for. And I have been very lucky with some of my purchases which is why, against better judgement, I keep trying, I guessComparing my Ultra Violet City with the one I received today, you wouldn't even think they're from the same brand.
And, I have to commiserate with you on being “stuck” in the preloved market because you like certain styles / colors. I adore Chanel single flap jumbos but, they’re discontinued. So, I have no choice but to buy preloved.
Oddly, I’ve never had a problem with a handbag purchase from individual seller. It’s been retailers (Reebonz and TheRealReal) who lied horribly in their descriptions. I’d never buy from those sites ever again.
The bags were in much worse condition than described.
I said nooooo leave her alone
but I have the reverse problem, I'm in the EU. I've contacted a Bal boutique for help and am waiting to hear from them. It's the Double Tour with Classic hardware and they seem to be sold out every where.
between you and 
! And to 
... I remember a friend of mine who loves bags as much as I do, swears she won’t “waste” money on slg’s. Because “people won’t see it anyway “ ... well, she’s wrong 
... have a great day guys
