I received my barrel bag in chalk from Nordstrom. It arrived in a cavernous box with 2 pieces of filler paper.:sick:
1. The front looks ok except for one scratch on the handle which is hard to photograph.
2. The back is a hot mess imo.
It has paint that seems to be not applied well, or peeling. Then there is a big dent or crease.
Please advise me as to what I should do with this bag. It is sold out everywhere I think.

I wanted to know if anyone owned the barrel bag, but no one seemed to own one, and I couldn't find any info on this bag. So I've been on the fence for a long time and then they were all sold out. I did find the bags on ebay, but didn't want to purchase from ebay.
Then I found one available at Nordstrom for 40% off, so I ordered it! Can't wait to reveal it here once I get it!
But, I think it may have been a returned item since this bag was sold out for a long time. So I'm hoping it'll be a good one.

Funny we seem to be on the same wave length. I am waiting to pick the bag up once it is delivered to our local nordstrom store. I have the denim version and love it. Receive tons of compliments. But wanted a small off white bag so bought this one as well as the chalk canteen. Will have to make a decision between the two...

Call the store and ask for an exchange.

Call nordstrom and express your dissatisfaction. I wouldn’t keep it. Will let you know the condition of mine once I pick it up

Ugh...this arrived from the FOS today. I also purchased the chalk rivet Rogue through the SAS. My original thought was that I would keep one or the other but now that this little beechwood baby has arrived, I simply cannot choose one. I love the chalk accents and the luscious burgundy interior. I think the only thing better than Rogue leather is Bandit leather! LOL...
BTW, this is the smaller Bandit size.

I know. I did call them. CS told me I could get it fixed and I would be reimbursed. What do you think about this option since this bag is sold out?

Hmmm are you pressed to wear right away? I have seen the bag show back up on the website (after selling out) about 3 times now before I considered buying. If you can hold out (and their return policy is much more generous than coach) keep pulse of their website say for another week (you have to be diligent about checking couple times daily) and if another comes up grab it then return the other (free shipping on returns). I am just not so keen on fixing a white bag...maybe they can but .... just my opinion. Question though - Do you LOVE the bag now that you see it in person?

I will do the wait method. I agree with you about white being difficult to fix.
I do love the bag.
Thank you for your help! :sunshine:

What do you mean about the paint? You mean the edgecoat is sloppy? I'm not seeing that in the photos.

I don't see how the damage on the back could be fixed though. It looks like it got dented from improper storage and maybe scraped. Maybe conditioning and working it would take them out.

If you paid full price definitely return. If not, unfortunately many of the bags that pop up are returns with imperfections hence the cheaper price. I like the wait/return idea but I wonder if all the remaining bags are all like this and people keep waiting then returning :lol:

We will find out because I will be picking up my bag next week sometime. I have not had any problems with other bags purchased from Nordstrom. Have you?

I got the bag on sale. I've gotten many perfect things on sale though.

The 4th picture shows somewhat more clearly what I think is a scrape. :sad:
