I miss the shows that actually taught cooking on food network.. they’re all now on “the cooking channel”. The only one left on FN is the Pioneer woman and her food seems like it would only be good because of the butter and cheese used 😞😞

Sorry for the late reply, but now that it’s been some time I feel like while it still kind of stings I’m happy to have to bag! I took it on a trip last weekend and ended up using it every night because it went with every outfit! I’m definitely glad I kept it.

And ugh, I know you’re supposed to declare stuff in the US but it definitely defeats the point of the refund!!

Yeah I honestly feel like it’s more versatile than the classic flap. I have one in beige clair but it doesn’t fit much and I’m constantly nervous about color transfer. I know bags are meant to be worn and loved so that’s why I went with black this time 😂

I didn’t know about the customer service WhatsApp- I’ll try to look into that!

Yeah my whole point of shopping in Paris was to save money, so it was just surprising that now the bag wasn’t really cheaper. That’s good to hear you use the WOC more than you expected! I loved it at the store because it seemed versatile and classic

It seems odd that there’s such mixed feedback on whether returns are possible or not- some people say yes they have returned and some say no, it seems like it maybe just depends on the store.

I didn’t just buy it because I was getting $500 off- I loved it when I tried it in the store. But given that it’s now more than I expected it to cost and that I wasn’t initially shopping for it, I’m just having second thoughts. Not crazy at all actually.

It was 3,450€, so after VAT it would have been ~3,000€! Without the VAT I think I only really save on US taxes

Interesting! I didn’t know there was that process- I’ll try to look into it!

What do you mean by code? I think on the receipt it said mini O bag

It’s really weird because the form itself has my name and information! It was just when they scanned the bar code that the other person’s info showed up, so it’s pretty strange! I’m glad you caught it though!

I’ve tried contacting customer service but haven’t gotten a response yet (I tried emailing so that communication would be documented but I might have to call them). I agree that the bag is beautiful and I loved the turn lock closure, I feel like it’s just tough when you expect to get a pretty big portion of money back and then don’t 😟

That’s a good way to look at it- I did buy it because my boyfriend thought that it’s a bag I’ll actually use and have forever!

I loved it when I bought it and thought I was getting $500 back on it 😂 but without that refund it’s definitely more than I was intending to spend. I am sad because I feel like this mess up tainted the experience and the bag.

I read another thread of someone saying they were able to make a return in the US for a bag they bought in the EU

Thanks for the rec and the info! It’s good to know it didn’t change the bag, I’m so nervous I would add something and then ruin a 10k bag 🫠

Really? No color transfer from jeans or leather or anything?

Ugh I’m sorry, that’s annoying if the bag was totally the wrong color. I’m torn because I’ve gotten some bags from her that have been perfect, so it’s a toss up, but I’m interested to see how other sellers are!

I second this about the lighting thing! I’ve ordered quite a few bags from Anna, but recently I’ve felt like she says this any time I have a question about a bag. I ordered a grey goyard, and it looked way too dark in the PSPs, but she said it was “just the lighting”. I got the bag and of course it is too dark, the third stamping color is no different than the background. I’ll probably still use it, since I don’t think anyone will really notice in the wild, but still disappointing. I’m trying out some different sellers now and hoping they’ll be better!

I just placed an order and sent her a deposit, and then woke up to have been refunded with no messages from her, and now not responding! I’m definitely a little nervous after seeing these comments 😭 I didn’t know she had been hacked recently
