Got these cuties at the Gettysburg outlet today. They also had the scarecrow and cowardly lion...no Dorothy though.
 
Congrats on finding your bag, and I'm so sorry it happened this way. I have had a similar situation, and what worked for me was not to think about the seller at all. Try focusing on whether or not you are happy with the bag (and whether you can clean or cover the spot in a way that makes you happy). If you still love it, keep it, and if it will make you sad, you should probably send it back. It can't hurt to call the seller out, politely as possible, and ask for a partial refund due to the stain you pointed out (in her own picture!) that she said was not there. I hope you find a solution that leaves you smiling! :smile:
Thank you for your kind words.....I looked at it again this morning when I had time to forget about the seller as you suggested. I rarely see one in this good of shape at least comparing photos. I know suede is so difficult to keep up. I am leaning on keeping it and seeing what I can do to maybe brush it out or use a longer chain on the feather to maybe mask it some. It won't be a bag I use often due to the suede. I'm actually surprised they used a small strip of suede on the back of the bag at the bottom. The back is what what usually rubs on dark jeans, etc and instantly gets dye transfer. This one is clean in the back which is amazing!

Thanks again for you advice. Sometimes I try to take myself out of the moment and not think emotionally and it helps come to a better conclusion.

It's hard to think clearly about a dream bag, and this situation made it trickier. I hope you come to a conclusion that makes you happy.

I just got this Grace from Macy's yesterday (30% off). I love the patent crossgrain leather (oxblood), and I already had a great light purple tea rose resin charm to go with it.
