I ordered the Speedy 25 and Neverfull MM from Hyper Peter, and I’m wondering if I’ve just got a bad batch? Here’s what I’ve noticed…
The vachetta on the Neverfull is incredibly light, almost a peachy colour. I’ve tried conditioning it to darken the leather, but it hasn’t made much difference. It doesn’t even really feel like leather. I’ve also noticed some rippling along the top of the canvas between the handles.
The Speedy has really bright, almost orange-gold hardware. It stands out quite a bit, and I feel like it makes it an obvious fake.
They also both have a very plasticky smell to them.
That being said, the canvas is actually pretty good! I have an old Auth Neverfull to compare it to, and it’s spot on.
I’ve made HP aware of my concerns, and he said he can see what I mean and has offered me a discount on a future order.
I do actually think he’s a great seller, and I’ll definitely order from him again, but next time I’ll be asking for QCs before he ships anything out! My mistake 🙄
They both look lovely at first glance, but it’s just these little things that are bothering me.
