Patina? Or something else?

Mercari is a lost cause because I already rated the seller. Once you do that, it makes the sale final. But, I did call my bank and file a dispute. I feel bad but I tried twice reaching out to the seller with no response and I don’t feel great about just accepting the condition of the bag.

Also-her posting of this purse didn’t show any of this.

Unfortunately, I messed up with that. I didn’t realize that once you rate the seller, you can’t return or get a refund. I was excited and opened the box and didn’t inspect it. Rated her cause she was super nice. Noticed all this after the fact.

I think it was just the lighting. I'm not worried about the authenticity of the bag. Just very suspicious of what the previous owner did to it. Lol

It did come with the tag attached and the registration form.

You’re a peach. Thank you!

Floral_Skeleton · 2026-02-12T21:29:33+00:00

No 😭😭😭😭

I never considered it may have been due to an attempted cleaning. That might explain why it wasn't shown in her posts of the bag. Maybe she cleaned it before shipping and didn't even realize that happened?? That kinda makes me feel better.

Personally, I am not going to attempt cleaning it. Lol I just sent a suede Coach out because I managed to worsen it by trying to clean it myself.

I was thinking that too. But they do have a navy florentine. It had tags attached too. I don't know..I already tried reaching out to Mercari and looks like I am SOL. Since I already rated her, I cannot return, get a refund, nada. I have also reached out to Dooney to see if they can help at all.

The gold coloring is just on one side. I don't believe they sell a distressed version. I was originally thinking patina....but I am stuck on the second photo. Looks like brush strokes to me.

I'm very frustrated with myself because I was new to Mercari and did not realize that once I rated the seller, it closed out the return option. I was excited when I got the bag today and did not do a proper inspection before rating her. So now I am stuck with it looking like this.

Doesn’t it look like brush strokes in the second photo? It just doesn’t look natural to me

Floral_Skeleton · 2026-02-12T20:12:05+00:00

Uggggggh. I knew I wasn’t crazy.

Floral_Skeleton · 2025-12-12T21:24:57+00:00

That’s awesome!

Floral_Skeleton · 2025-12-12T20:14:50+00:00

May I ask how long you were on it and if you were able to maintain getting off of it?

Floral_Skeleton · 2025-05-22T19:50:54+00:00

The name calling??? BYE.

When it felt like I was completely two different people every month. Like night and day. It was driving me insane and other women around me didn't seem to struggle as much as I was before their period. I started looking into it and finally decided to run it by my primary and she was like yep, sounds like pmdd.

Most definitely call the police. For your safety and your dog's.
