Would this scratch on vachetta bother you on a brand new bag?

[CoffeeKiss]

I really try not to be nit picky about my bags, but I just got my new bag in the mail yesterday and it is perfect minus this, what I believe to be, fingernail scratch on the handle. It curves down like a backward ‘S.’

I’m worried about there being a permanent mark that’s visible even after the patina process starts.

Keep or exchange? Am I overreacting?

That wouldn’t bother me, personally.

You’re overreacting in my opinion. It’s not really visible plus it’s on the handle? It’s leather, so it will smoothen over time. Wouldn’t bother me at all.

Nope. You're overreacting.

It’s nothing, keep and congrats!

 

[LL777]

In my opinion, you are overreacting.

Thanks, ladies! I feel so much better knowing it isn’t a big issue. Off to enjoy my new baby!

I honestly can’t see how you guys see these things.

No it would not bother me.

Yes, enjoy your new purchase! Is it the Graceful?

Yes it would bother me greatly. It's unacceptable.

Sorry, couldn’t resist!

Sometimes things are more noticeable irl than the pics. And this is my first bag and I spent $2,000, so I definitely looked closely since I ordered online and couldn’t see the bag. But thanks.

Didn’t mean to offend you. I guess I just buy stuff without inspecting.
Considering the cost, and your very first LV bag, I would call them and ask for an exchange.

I completely understand. It's just that we get SO many of these types of posts on here that it's become a joke. I'm not a nitpicker when it comes to my bags and don't go over them with a fine tooth comb, but YES that would bother me. If I were in the store and they pulled that one out for me, I'd ask to see another.

Thanks girls. I knew I was being annoying by asking even as I was typing it, but I have never had a bag patina and was unsure if it’d turn into a dark spot on the vachetta. I’ll see if they have another in my local boutique, but if they don’t, I’ll keep this one.
