Yes! I noticed that the prices are higher now. It makes me think twice about buying another one because I compare it to the prices a few months back. Haha. Do you think they will increase even more? The price of vintage Baguette is now so unbelievably high!Has anyone noticed the spike in Ebay prices on vintage spy bags in the last 2 months??? Damn!
I have seen price increases... do you think it is making a come back like the baguette?
I too love the Baby Spy bag. however years ago I gave my brown one to my daughter and kept the large Tribal Spy. Recently I started my hunt for a black Baby Spy in good condition and thought I found one on The Real Real and received it today. I am so disappointed the one which I received has small areas of discoloration which was not stated in the description. So back to the search.This. And they’re not sitting as long on Fashionphile now!
I love the Baby Spy, and found a black one on eBay. I’d love to find a biscotti or taupe Baby Spy but I want to find one without too much darkening on the handles and colour transfer.

I was thinking this as well however I think it should have been disclosed in the product description. On The Real Real it stated the bag only has interior discoloration. I am waiting to speak with a manager. I will keep you updated.Oh no! I’m sorry to hear this. Maybe a good cobbler could assist?
If it's just those very small marks you can touch those up. Black is the easiest colour to DIY.I too love the Baby Spy bag. however years ago I gave my brown one to my daughter and kept the large Tribal Spy.

It’s not really marks but white dots which are driving me crazy and interesting thing it’s only on one panel of the bag. I will drop by the cobbler and ask what he suggests what can be done if nothing then back it goes.If it's just those very small marks you can touch those up. Black is the easiest colour to DIY.
Is it something on the leather? Or does it go into the leather itself?It’s not really marks but white dots which are driving me crazy and interesting thing it’s only on one panel of the bag. I will drop by the cobbler and ask what he suggests what can be done if nothing then back it goes.

It appears to me to be something into the leather. However I was wondering if a leather conditioner would help. Unfortunately I can’t try anything until I commit to keeping the bag which I am not certain of...darn those white dots and triple darn on The Real Real for not disclosing the issue on the site.Is it something on the leather?

You could try a tiny bit of leather cleaner/conditioner just on the dots to see if they'll lift? With a QTip?It appears to me to be something into the leather.
