This thread is Really dangerous!
I have a wishlist(quite short) of very expensive exotic bags..planned for the future ..
I have(had) purse peace..
But Reading through here(plus the new H thread) makes me want a new bag..
Plus I’ve just noticed that the handle has split on the black mock croc Valentino bag I bought in March, although I mainly use other bags..
I’ve located the receipt, but don’t know whether or not it’s too late to take back and complain.
The company are notorious for not refunding, but even a credit would be something, as I don’t expect a bag I’ve had such a short time to split..
If they won’t take it maybe I’ll gift it to someone less fussy, or just use it in bad weather, but what a waste of money..
I’ve definitely started hunting for my next new bag!
I guess quality control is slipping everywhere. No quality handbag should be splitting without regular use after only a few months. Take it back and see about something else that you like… I’m sorry that happened to your bag.
 
In the U.K..maybe they’re easier to find in the US but in the U.K., Barbie and Balmain throws up nothing at all…I particularly love the rectangular one..

I don’t need ALL the bags in the world-but do wish I had a limitless budget!

Barbie Balmain was in-store only and not current season (Balmain X Evian is the current)

At the grand opening of the new store in Mount Street, Olivier came over from Paris and had his pic taken with one of the VIPs wearing head to toe Balmain X Barbie
 
So my second (of 2 ordered) Balmain x Barbie bag arrived today and..... I love it. Now I have a dilemma bc I figured if I ordered both, I could see which style I like better in person but I love them both! And to make matters worse... since when the first one arrived (disco round crossbody), I decided I would probably keep it and end up returning the BBuzz when it arrived, I found another Balmain BBuzz bag in another print (not barbie related) that I might not be able to live without. I mentally justified exchanging the barbie one for that one but now not sure what to do bc don't feel like parting with either bc both so pretty but think too similar to keep both. Advice?

And not Barbie but equally as saturated in color, a cylinder bag from a smaller brand (Manu Atelier) that goes perfectly with my wedding colors (getting married a month from tomorrow! planning to wear this bag to the family brunch the morning after the wedding).
