Love this video so much! I totally understand when you build up a bag and then she’s just not the one. Oddly I had a big build up for a Chanel mini and I literally felt sick to my stomach buying it, following the tracking, all the things. Got it and instantly knew I was not going to carry it, no butterflies, just sort of underwhelmed. Sometimes these bags take us on an emotional journey and that journey includes being let down occasionally.
Thank you, April! I agree- building up a bag in my mind can certainly lead to a let down. But I'm sorry to hear that happened with your Chanel mini. But you're right, it's definitely par for the course!
About 12 years ago I loved this bag. Not so much anymore, but that opening is a definite NO for me. Have I bought bags and then thought what the heck did I just do......of course! You’re not alone and guaranteed, a bunch of us aren’t going to learn from you either😏 so don’t feel bad, just rehome it❤️
omg owl necklace vibe.... hahahahha I had flashbacks of 90's gift shops with random roses, potpourri, and swirly picture frames with those stands to hang the owl necklace and the mini jewellery box with tiny mirrors on it. anyways It's okay Caleb!!! this situation always happens to any bag collector!
Hahaha, I can totally see the 90's gift shop vibes! I'm loving it! haha! It's just so disappointing to open a bag that you've hyped up in your mind... and what you see is... whatever this monstrosity was haha!
OMG... I feel for you but can´t help to say: "I told you so..." Safe space! I went down the rabbit hole of the Stam bag a while ago too, looked at pictures of so many, finally found an exotic version with silver hardware, but didn´t pull the trigger. The longer I looked at the sales pics, the more I was convinced, that the quality wouldn´t make me happy and that the design is far too close to my much older bags to excite me. I´m sure there´s somebody out there who will absolutely rock this bag. Unfortunately it´s not you and not me either. _ _ _ _ happens! One of my early luxury purchases was a LV Speedy 25. I had obsessed about if for a long time, hunted down one I could afford, but when it arrived one look at it was enough to know, that I am not a Speedy monogramme girl at all. I never wore it and much later gifted it to my daughter for her graduation. She rocks it!
Haha Safe Space! The Stam isn't a great bag. And it's such a shame! I'm happy to hear that your Speedy found a new and loving owner! I hope you're having a great weekend!
HARSH!!! It’s the Color where you went wrong!! I thought you would get the black one the black one looks fabulous. Yeah when I saw that brown it looked like poop 💩 brown. (SAFE SPACE!) I was sooo sad 😔. Hope you sell it!! It deserves a good home. TFS 🙏👛🛍️🚢
If it doesn't sell you could do something fun like sisterhood of the traveling pants. Maybe send it on to a chain of fellow RUclipsrs and have them each make a video where they dress the bag up and try to make it more appealing? This was honestly a very fun video to watch. I have several "shame on me for buying" bags that I don't know what to do with. So your video made me feel so much less alone
OMG, I totally don't hate this idea!! That would be such a fun series! I'm sorry to hear that you have a few bags that you don't love and don't know what to do with. It's such a shame when that happens, and it's so disappointing.
Glad to have a tag for this because this topic has been floating around on my video ideas list for a while. Sometimes I wonder if the harder I obsess about a bag, the less I will like it once it's in my hot little hands.😂
I think the bag would look better on you as a crossbody, if you have a strap that matches the leather/hardware. That shade of brown looks good with your shirt. Pls try converting the shoulder strap as a wraparound bracelet or statement necklace, too. I'd love to see how it would look on you. :)
Oh dear. The Stam is on my Must Have list, but now I'm having second thoughts. I still love the general look of it but I'll now consider getting the smaller size. Yours looks ludicrously capacious, and while I'm definitely a tote devotee, the Stam's shape is not good for a large one. I like boxxy totes. The Marc Jacobs totes are ideal for me, that's why I have several in various sizes and colours. Thanks for giving me a chance to rethink the Stam. I hope yours finds a loving home eventually ❤
I can totally relate to the feeling of excitement fading as soon as the bag was revealed from the packaging! Coach Scout Hobo in chalk! It looked so good on the website (all nicely positioned... you know how they do!), but when I finally saw it in person 😒.... it was a hard no! I decided to gift it to my beautiful mother!! She quite liked it! 👍🏾 So, it was a happy ending! Yay!✌🏾
So sorry it didn't work out for you. The colour is just so ummm drab. It's such a bummer when that happens. We'll all been through it, you open the box and your heart just sinks. I hope you find a home for it 🤎
Thank you, 5ft! It's very drab, which is such a bummer. I hope I can rehome it too! It will probably have to be to someone who hasn't watched this video lol!
Such a blow and I feel for you, but I feel for poor Zane so much more! Hoping that you find a buyer and can offload it without losing money. Thank you for the video!
Haha, he puts up with a lot of my bag talk. I think he secretly enjoys it though lol. And I'm hoping to sell it too. It takes up a lot of space for something I'm not going to use.
I get your point Caleb, I have to say though my first ever designer mens bag was a Brown and Gold hardware Prada Saffiano mens briefcase back in 2010. I have to say if done right, with the new newness it really is the most beautiful color combination you could have
I need to see the advertised photos of this bag that made you think it would be cute. It immediately screamed 2010 bubble skirt and gossip girl headband when you revealed it. 😅
We have all been there the fact that the bag doesn't stay completely latched is a huge problem Not crazy about the color of the bag it looks worn out. I did purchase the Re-Edition Quilted Leather Little Stam bag in blk I loved the pink and if it goes on sale, I might pick it up but it would be black after using it a couple of times with me so for the money I went with the blk. I do not like to buy used bags at all I only buy new so that is why I do not have many bags over $500. or $600. but I could not resist the small stam it is so cute. The chain shoulder strap works great but if your tall and bigger in size it won't work.
i get it. it’s a stunning classic stam & it looks great for being 12 but the shade of brown is what gets me. i hope it can work out for someone else! 💚
Hey there, Caleb. Was the janky kiss closure revealed to you? If it wasn’t disclosed, perhaps that would be a good reason for the seller to take it back? I don’t know how that works for preloved, but… She is definitely a wallflower at the prom. She would’ve been better in black or navy, I think. Sending you hugs. 🫂🫂🫂
Hi Patty! Haha, I love the wallflower analogy, that is perfect. I agree, black or navy would be so much better. The photos for the listing weren't great, but I was hopeful!
Anyone who loves handbags and collects more than the basic 4 bags a person "needs" has made this mistake .😅 But there are bags I love in one color and dislike in another so maybe if it was black like the store modle you'd feel ok, verses hating it. All the bags I was disappointed with I never got to see in person nor try on and handle. That makes a big difference in knowing if a bag is just okay, love or hate
Omg, I remember when these first came out and I was OBSESSED! It still is a statement, but that kisslock just makes me sad. Would love your thoughts on the Chloe Paddington @Caleb, I loved that one too, and now avoid it so hard! Such regret! I think I will stick with the vintage Coach and Longchamp for now ;D
I have been obsessed with the Stam as well. I want a large black one in leather but every time I’ve had an opportunity to purchase I’ve purchased others bags like my Fendi baby spy in Zucca canvas with bronze metallic leather. I thought about it recently but purchased a souple mini Saigon hence self imposed ban island
Haha, well, I'll sell you mine! haha. But in all seriousness, I think you made great decisions with getting the Spy and Saigon instead- those are fabulous bags!
@@CalebSnell lol if it were black then I’d be sold lol…. Honestly I love my baby spy soo much! It bring me back to the early 2000 when they were all the rage! I have my eye on the Moncler version…, The Saigon is soo beautiful and surprisingly holds my 13 Pro Max.
Huh - funnily enough, I think I like it more seeing it in this brown than in other times when the black version has been mentioned on this channel. Unfortunately though, it wouldn't mesh too well in my wardrobe for me to take it off your hands. Hope that you can give it a lovely home sooner than later, Caleb!
Sorry Caleb. That bag is awful. Frumpy !! Not you at all. Sell it!! I've bought bags b4 n when I got them home hated them. It's ok. You're not the only one!
Caleb, I am sorry the bag did not work out for you, especially given how excited you were when it arrived. I appreciate your honesty because I was tempted to get the small one. I love the look of it and I remember this bag from the old days. However, the deal breaker, after watching your video, is the weight. I will pass given it is so heavy. I feel for you. We have all been there before. Over the moon for sth and completely unaware of other aspects which may affect the practicality of the bag. Maybe next time try it on first when you see it in a department store. If all looks good, then you can hunt down a good deal on line?
The weight is so bad- it's so heavy with the chain. But imo, you can't remove the chain because that's the style of the bag. I should have gone to Neiman's and tried it on first. Lesson learned!
Awe, I know you wanted 5hat bag so badly 😢……can you tell us how that one looked so differently on line when you purchased it vs. when you received it? What are you most disappointed in….From your video here it looks very similar to the pictures of the new release that you showed us of it. [I personally like that taupe brown color ha!🤣] …..That’s too bad because it’s definitely a collector item bag……maybe get the new release then or search for a different color?🤗
To be fair, the photos were terrible. They didn't really showcase the color, but the description called it a golden brown. But I agree- a different color would be so much better.
I live in Asia and that MJ bag (the original version) has a VERY VERY VERY LOW resale value. Probably sells here for $55 USD at most and still not very appealing to our market.
I’ve done the same thing I may have to make a video because I’ve done it recently. I would call that Doodoo brown lol that’s going to help you sell the bag. I tried the same bag on and I thought it was very heavy as well. really pretty, but I don’t know it just wasn’t for me either. I do hope you sell this Doodoo bag lol somebody out there has to want it.😂
Caleb. I know how you feel. I had a bag in my mind I just couldn’t get out of my head. So I bought it. And once I got it home it wasn’t what I really liked. I know what you mean about that brown. It’s interesting. Caleb I love all the bags you show. Safe space this one is very different.
I love this bag, I love the “medico” style bag, the color is a no, you should have played it safe with a black color, I have it and i love the chain, I love that it I use it as a handle bag, shoulder bag, and I love slamming the bag, I paid like $75dls for it, so I think it’s like perf. I still use it, heavy rotation
Well, just recently at the first inkling of the Louis Vuitton Neverfull news I bought a pre-loved one for a very reasonable price while I still could. Good luck with that now. I was anxiously awaiting it, just like you. Checking every day. And when I got it I was like like meh...... it's ok. I love my damier ones. But was not at all excited about the monogram. NO warm fuzzies. I kept it because I will never be able to get it at that price again. I really thought I would love it! I used to love the monogram, but now I think I prefer the damier. Meh again.....Maybe it will grow on me.
Oh, I hate that! That's always disappointing. And I don't know about you- but when I was younger, I wanted EVERYTHING monogram. And now that I'm older, I can only handle it in small pops lol!
Sorry Caleb. It blows when you build up something in your head only to be let down. And the color, it reminds me of 💩. Safe space! Maybe it’s a combination of the shape and the color. I’m thinking it would be much more attractive in a vibrant color. And I actually love kiss lock closures. There’s something romantic and vintage about them. There’s probably someone out there looking for this bag. Don’t loose hope 💕
Hahaha! You nailed it with the color description! I agree- literally any other color would be much better. I'm thinking of placing it on eBay or Facebook Marketplace, hopefully someone wants it!
I wore my large Stam bag recently and received many compliments on it from folks who had no idea what it was. I don’t live in a big city. I wonder if the response to the bag was more genuine than what you’d get from someone who lives in a place where the latest and greatest is readily available. I think the people who complimented my bag were looking at the bag itself and were simply impressed with it as a piece of art. Women and men stopped me to say how much they loved it. I don’t think Marc Jacobs bags from the past have aged poorly. I’m not sure why this thought is out there. I just think you either like the Stams or you don’t-like I never understood the interest in the Balenciaga motorcycle bag (it does absolutely nothing for me). Different strokes for different folks.
Hi Cheryl! I'm glad to hear that you're loving your Stam! I wish I had had the same with mine! But you might be right- it is a piece of art, it's a gorgeous bag, I just got a bad one lol!
Yeah. That's a big no. Hate to tell you but I got a very similar Marc Jacobs bag in a Goodwill mystery box, brown and black with big chains. The thing weighted a ton! I was shocked when I looked up the original price. I finally sold it for $65. So for me, I was happy to even get that because I paid about $10 for it 🫢
I was watching your live when you were trying to sell it and I seriously went back and forth on deciding to buy it. I think the design is really cool, but I couldn't get past the color and it not staying shut... but mostly the color! Lol
Marc Jacobs quality is shit, I’ve been lusting over the brand since 2000. Picked one up at Nordstrom Rack on sale for $500 marked down from $1400 yay! THAT BAG SUCKED. The plasticy leather, the corner wear was soooooo bad from minimal use, it has sueee inserts that showed dirt sooooooo badly, the hardware scratched so bad and BROKE. I used the crap out of that shitty bag taking it to work with me everyday until the thing fell apart. I threw it away when I was moving. That broke my heart.
Oh man, I think you and Marc Jacobs are a cursed combination, lol. That being said, it's a super dated looking bag. Now don't get me wrong, I do love a dated bag (2010 era Bal & YSL FTW), but there is something about Marc Jacobs that just doesn't work in anno domini 2023 (I said what I said, safe space 😬)
I think you're right! I've had 1 of 3 MJ bags actually work out okay- the Venetia. The Hobo: fail. The Stam: BIG fail. It's a sign- I need to step away from the MJ. And I agree- of all the bags of that era, his have aged the worst.
That is such an icky brown. Makes it.look very old lady amd.not chic old lady. But someone will love it and make ot.lpok.Fab. good.luck. I so enjoy your videos.
The brown is such a horrible shade! I'm hoping the right person comes along and takes it off my hands- it's such a bummer! But thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the videos!
Love this video so much! I totally understand when you build up a bag and then she’s just not the one. Oddly I had a big build up for a Chanel mini and I literally felt sick to my stomach buying it, following the tracking, all the things.

Thank you, April! I agree- building up a bag in my mind can certainly lead to a let down. But I'm sorry to hear that happened with your Chanel mini. But you're right, it's definitely par for the course!
Not Caleb making a “reasons why you shouldn’t buy my bag” video 😂😂😂
😂
Caleb went IN on this bag. I’m about to toss my Stams after this. 😂
Hahaha it's so true, Steph!
I'm sorry, Tee Cee! Haha! I'm sure your Stams are much nicer than the sad lumpy football that I got!
OMG THE OWL NECKLACE WHY DID I WEAR THAT!!!?? thank you for reminding me Caleb hahaha.
Haha, Happy to help, Holly! To be fair, it had a chokehold on fashion back then!
About 12 years ago I loved this bag. Not so much anymore, but that opening is a definite NO for me. Have I bought bags and then thought what the heck did I just do......of course! You’re not alone and guaranteed, a bunch of us aren’t going to learn from you either😏 so don’t feel bad, just rehome it❤️
I agree Sandy- I just need to cut my losses and rehome it. This Stam just isn't going to work for me.
omg owl necklace vibe.... hahahahha I had flashbacks of 90's gift shops with random roses, potpourri, and swirly picture frames with those stands to hang the owl necklace and the mini jewellery box with tiny mirrors on it. anyways It's okay Caleb!!! this situation always happens to any bag collector!
Hahaha, I can totally see the 90's gift shop vibes! I'm loving it! haha! It's just so disappointing to open a bag that you've hyped up in your mind... and what you see is... whatever this monstrosity was haha!
@@CalebSnell we have all been there!!! hahhahahah
OMG... I feel for you but can´t help to say: "I told you so..." Safe space!
I went down the rabbit hole of the Stam bag a while ago too, looked at pictures of so many, finally found an exotic version with silver hardware, but didn´t pull the trigger. The longer I looked at the sales pics, the more I was convinced, that the quality wouldn´t make me happy and that the design is far too close to my much older bags to excite me.
I´m sure there´s somebody out there who will absolutely rock this bag. Unfortunately it´s not you and not me either. _ _ _ _ happens!
One of my early luxury purchases was a LV Speedy 25. I had obsessed about if for a long time, hunted down one I could afford, but when it arrived one look at it was enough to know, that I am not a Speedy monogramme girl at all. I never wore it and much later gifted it to my daughter for her graduation. She rocks it!
Haha Safe Space! The Stam isn't a great bag. And it's such a shame! I'm happy to hear that your Speedy found a new and loving owner! I hope you're having a great weekend!
It's time to buckle up for a very disappointing unboxing. Has this every happened to you?!
So sad when something that you’ve been building up is a disappointment 😢
yes, this happened to me when i unboxed my speedy 40 in mono canvas :(
Yes, twice! The first was a Chanel wild stitch tote and the second a Gucci Raffia Peggy Hobo. 😬
HARSH!!! It’s the Color where you went wrong!! I thought you would get the black one the black one looks fabulous. Yeah when I saw that brown it looked like poop 💩 brown. (SAFE SPACE!) I was sooo sad 😔. Hope you sell it!! It deserves a good home. TFS 🙏👛🛍️🚢
Hahaha! Safe space! But yeah, the color is heinous! I hope I can sell it too- someone out there has to love it!
@@CalebSnell I just hope it’s NOT me 😆 I keep caving and have to talk my self down 😆
If it doesn't sell you could do something fun like sisterhood of the traveling pants. Maybe send it on to a chain of fellow RUclipsrs and have them each make a video where they dress the bag up and try to make it more appealing? This was honestly a very fun video to watch. I have several "shame on me for buying" bags that I don't know what to do with. So your video made me feel so much less alone

I have that same bag in an ox blood and oh yes it is very heavy. Last time I carried it I took the chain off. Mine stays very tightly closed.
I have six of them I purchased all in excellent condition used .
The oxblood color would be pretty. This brown is just so noncommittal in my opinion. But you're right the chain adds so much weight.
HI Tracey! Would you like a 7th Stam? haha! Maybe if mine were in a better color and condition, I would feel differently.
@@CalebSnell not in brown I saw that bag while researching I passed the color is a brown green undertone . I passed I know where you got it lol
Love your honesty, Caleb, truly. I hope someone loves it and buys it! ♥️
Thank you, Diane! I hope so too!
Glad to have a tag for this because this topic has been floating around on my video ideas list for a while. Sometimes I wonder if the harder I obsess about a bag, the less I will like it once it's in my hot little hands.😂
Hey BBB! Yes! I'd love to see what you come up with! And you're probably right, the more you obsess, the higher the probability of disappointment!
Oh boy, Mouse brown! Even this neutral lover can understand. Yes, I can relate.😂😘
Haha, the color on this bag is so bad!!
I think the bag would look better on you as a crossbody, if you have a strap that matches the leather/hardware. That shade of brown looks good with your shirt.
Pls try converting the shoulder strap as a wraparound bracelet or statement necklace, too. I'd love to see how it would look on you. :)

I live in Asia and that MJ bag (the original version) has a VERY VERY VERY LOW resale value. Probably sells here for $55 USD at most and still not very appealing to our market.
Haha, well, after receiving this one, I can definitely see why it's so unpopular. lol!
I just bought a preloved (but new) one, small version and I love it. The big one is too big for me.
The small is so cute!
I’ve done the same thing I may have to make a video because I’ve done it recently. I would call that Doodoo brown lol that’s going to help you sell the bag. I tried the same bag on and I thought it was very heavy as well. really pretty, but I don’t know it just wasn’t for me either. I do hope you sell this Doodoo bag lol somebody out there has to want it.😂
Hi Yota! Haha, doodoo brown- it's perfect! Yeah, once I tried it on, immediately no- it's awful. But I'm hopeful someone wants it!
Caleb. I know how you feel. I had a bag in my mind I just couldn’t get out of my head. So I bought it. And once I got it home it wasn’t what I really liked. I know what you mean about that brown. It’s interesting. Caleb I love all the bags you show. Safe space this one is very different.
Thank you, Kris! Yeah, this bag just isn't a good one. I was very disappointed!
I love this bag, I love the “medico” style bag, the color is a no, you should have played it safe with a black color, I have it and i love the chain, I love that it I use it as a handle bag, shoulder bag, and I love slamming the bag, I paid like $75dls for it, so I think it’s like perf. I still use it, heavy rotation
I agree- black would have been much better! I was hoping the brown would be similar to my MJ Venetia. Sadly- it was awful lol!
Well, just recently at the first inkling of the Louis Vuitton Neverfull news I bought a pre-loved one for a very reasonable price while I still could. Good luck with that now. I was anxiously awaiting it, just like you. Checking every day. And when I got it I was like like meh...... it's ok. I love my damier ones. But was not at all excited about the monogram. NO warm fuzzies. I kept it because I will never be able to get it at that price again. I really thought I would love it! I used to love the monogram, but now I think I prefer the damier. Meh again.....Maybe it will grow on me.
Oh, I hate that! That's always disappointing. And I don't know about you- but when I was younger, I wanted EVERYTHING monogram. And now that I'm older, I can only handle it in small pops lol!
I think it would look so much better in black… I thought it would be beautiful, but I agree that it’s a disappointment…
I totally agree, the black would be so much better. Haha, this bag was very disappointing!
Sorry Caleb. It blows when you build up something in your head only to be let down. And the color, it reminds me of 💩. Safe space! Maybe it’s a combination of the shape and the color. I’m thinking it would be much more attractive in a vibrant color. And I actually love kiss lock closures. There’s something romantic and vintage about them. There’s probably someone out there looking for this bag. Don’t loose hope 💕
Hahaha! You nailed it with the color description! I agree- literally any other color would be much better. I'm thinking of placing it on eBay or Facebook Marketplace, hopefully someone wants it!
I wore my large Stam bag recently and received many compliments on it from folks who had no idea what it was. I don’t live in a big city. I wonder if the response to the bag was more genuine than what you’d get from someone who lives in a place where the latest and greatest is readily available. I think the people who complimented my bag were looking at the bag itself and were simply impressed with it as a piece of art. Women and men stopped me to say how much they loved it. I don’t think Marc Jacobs bags from the past have aged poorly. I’m not sure why this thought is out there. I just think you either like the Stams or you don’t-like I never understood the interest in the Balenciaga motorcycle bag (it does absolutely nothing for me). Different strokes for different folks.
Hi Cheryl! I'm glad to hear that you're loving your Stam! I wish I had had the same with mine! But you might be right- it is a piece of art, it's a gorgeous bag, I just got a bad one lol!
Yeah. That's a big no. Hate to tell you but I got a very similar Marc Jacobs bag in a Goodwill mystery box, brown and black with big chains. The thing weighted a ton! I was shocked when I looked up the original price. I finally sold it for $65. So for me, I was happy to even get that because I paid about $10 for it 🫢
HUGE no! haha! I'm hoping I can sell it too. I might have to take to Facebook Marketplace.
I was watching your live when you were trying to sell it and I seriously went back and forth on deciding to buy it. I think the design is really cool, but I couldn't get past the color and it not staying shut... but mostly the color! Lol
Haha, the color is what kills it. I could reshape the frame and deal with that- but the color- yikes. It's so bad!
It reminds me of Chet at the end of Weird Science! I'm sorry 😔 It's not the bag, it's the color.
OMG, that's the most perfect description of the bag! I'm dying!! lol!
I’ve done that a few times myself🤷
Ugh! The worst feeling!
Marc Jacobs quality is shit, I’ve been lusting over the brand since 2000. Picked one up at Nordstrom Rack on sale for $500 marked down from $1400 yay! THAT BAG SUCKED. The plasticy leather, the corner wear was soooooo bad from minimal use, it has sueee inserts that showed dirt sooooooo badly, the hardware scratched so bad and BROKE. I used the crap out of that shitty bag taking it to work with me everyday until the thing fell apart. I threw it away when I was moving. That broke my heart.
I tried so hard to make Marc Jacobs work for me, and it just never did. Ugh!
Maybe donate it and take the tax deduction 🤑 or bring it to a place that will do custom painting on a bag and give it new life! 🎨👜😍
Haha, that's not a bad idea at all!
The more I see it, the more I like it.
Well... it's available! haha!!
Its not a good shade of brown. But no i haven't had and bag regrets.
Haha, it's the worst shade of brown.
Did you end up selling it?
Yes! It's off and living it's best life in a new home!
This guy is hilarious 😂
Haha, thank you!
You need an LV Manhattan GM instead!
Oh, I love that idea!!
It’s not an awful looking bag, it just doesn’t work on you. And that’s okay 😘🤎
That's not a bad idea. For now, it's just sitting somewhere in the studio waiting for whatever happens next.
Wow clear..
Right!?
Oh man, I think you and Marc Jacobs are a cursed combination, lol. That being said, it's a super dated looking bag. Now don't get me wrong, I do love a dated bag (2010 era Bal & YSL FTW), but there is something about Marc Jacobs that just doesn't work in anno domini 2023 (I said what I said, safe space 😬)
I think you're right! I've had 1 of 3 MJ bags actually work out okay- the Venetia. The Hobo: fail. The Stam: BIG fail. It's a sign- I need to step away from the MJ. And I agree- of all the bags of that era, his have aged the worst.
💩on a chain.
Literally!
You got bad color and you can use brasso on the hardware. That bag is beat up 😮.
Yeah- it's reallllly sad. I hate it lol
That is such an icky brown. Makes it.look very old lady amd.not chic old lady. But someone will love it and make ot.lpok.Fab. good.luck. I so enjoy your videos.
The brown is such a horrible shade! I'm hoping the right person comes along and takes it off my hands- it's such a bummer! But thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the videos!
so so sorry for you but you find other bag that better
Thank you, Hamid!
You could just dye it
That's not a bad idea!
It's not your style
I agree, Kaylhee! It's so bad!
@@CalebSnell yes it is!
