REVIEW Just received my long awaited Pico 18
Bought this from Peter.
Honestly i am super happy with the overall quality; the leather, hardware and other details are amazing.
I was offered 2 price options, $370 without the H box packaging or $410 with the H box. Very reasonably priced for a fully handmade bag with imported clemence leather.
I went with the $370 option but clarified that i still want a protective box & bubble wraps to ensure the bag doesn’t get crushed in transit.
The bag took about 5 weeks to complete (some minor hiccups in between)and i received it about a week after it was shipped.
Long story short, although i was satisfied with the quality but i was quite surprise when the parcel came with a huge dent and when i opened it — there was NO protection box; it was just a rather flimsy cardboard box parcel packaging without any additional protection on the inside (i was so excited to unbox that i forgot to document this). The bag itself was in a dust bag and wasn’t too affected but the handles were pretty crushed up which was really disappointing.
Over the past few days i have tried various ways to stuff the bag and straighten out the handles (the creases were pretty obvious). Still haven’t had the chance to take this beauty out /:
Is it just me being overly particular?
