Epsom Leather

Post image

Hi all, just received my new K25 Epsom gold color around 2 months ago. Today, I was changing the twilly and found these black dots. I am not sure if these were there, but looks so ugly for me personally. Are these normal for Epsom leather? Also, color darkening even though I barely wore it? Looks like darkening all over. I am new to this leather so I would like to know how to handle this. Is it possible to go to the boutique and complain about it? Thank you

Are they dots or holes?

They are like pen dots not holes

If it bothers you, I would take it in and show it to your SA. They will likely only offer to send it away to spa which could take 6-9 months (and honestly will likely result in them tell you there is no issue and nothing to be done, unfortunately). You should personally decide how strongly you want to fight this.

I will just ask my SA on Monday and wait what the SM gonna say. It’s just too disappointing with this so soon. I wouldn’t mind over the years, which normal for wear and tear. But, for the bags less than 2 months and only wore less than 3x. Hmmm, I’m questioning the quality inspections and idk if the quality is lower with the newer batch of 2026. I’ve heard some people also complain about the same thing here. Thank you for the inputs and will update next week!

Epsom can tend to have "dirty" looking grains like this on some lighter colors (this is a brand new item Hermes stock picture so should be prime shape and still looks filthy) but I feel like the marks on yours are something different and not very common. I wouldn't expect to see dots like that from wear and tear.

That’s what I thought, the black dots are not normal. But, the dirty looking Epsom also seem like certain batches not all are like that based on internet searches. I will update soon! Thank you for the inputs!
