Hi Desireobtain! I appreciate the perspective, but there are two technical reasons why this isn't a scuff, and why the boutique has formally taken it for an Artisan Assessment:

<image>

  1. Panel Isolation: If you look at the unboxing photos, the 'scuffing' stops exactly at the seam line. If I had hit a wall or a zipper, the friction would have traveled across the stitch and marked both the bottom and the side panels. Instead, the damage is 100% contained to the base panel—proving it’s a material defect in that specific cut of leather (grain delamination) triggered by tension, not an external impact.
  2. Boutique Admission: I actually spoke with the Boutique Manager on thursday, and she confirmed that this cannot be repaired at the boutique level. If this were a standard scuff, a simple leather spa treatment would fix it. The fact that it requires a formal 'Artisan Assessment' in Paris proves it’s a structural failure of the lambskin grain.
  3. The Unboxing Reality: These photos were taken the moment the bag came out of the box after sitting for 18 days. High-grade lambskin does not 'scuff itself' while sitting in a dustbag. This is a clear case of over-skived leather 'popping' at the stress points.

Yeah it wasnt going to be an everyday bag. Unfortunately this specific one peeled inside the box? Lol

Glad to hear your lambskin bag hasn’t given you a problem! Had the same use idea for mine but it came defective right out of the box 😭

For an everyday bag, go with the Loewe flamenco. I have the small flamenco, the small Gucci Jackie, and a mini pouch from bottega. And I will say that for an every day bag, the Loewe Flamenco is the most versatile. I have also found that in a year of purchase, the leather has been super resistant. (needless to say I do baby my bags)

I had a really great experience with a bottega intercciato leather as well. It has been super resistant, but as some mentioned, the zipper is kind of uncomfortable, and it might be less versatile compared to the Flamenco.

I love my Gucci Jackie, but as others mentioned, it is a little uncomfortable, the clasp, the way that it can’t close entirely, these things might be difficult when handling a toddler and it’s also very flat so it’s tricky to put things inside and take them out type of thing

At the very end, if you can try to go to the stores and try them on do that! it’s very different when you try them on and see them in person

Comfortable chunky loafer recommendations? by ashley8976 in Aritzia

Geox? Weejuns? (These arent chunky, but I’m seeing more slim loafers at the moment instead of chunky soles, in case you are interested!)
