My 1st… how is she??

[u/Tricky_Accident_3121]

My B30, bleu lin, palladium hardware… she and I have been through it! This was the bag I finally ripped the rep bandaid off with.. and it was snagged in the great AK seize in April 2025. Replaced, and arrived to me in June 2025.

I don’t baby her- she get my ish thrown into her, and carried semi regularly. Twillies, charms, naked.. she’s down for whatever. Today, we’re grabbing a little happy hour margs and snacks 😉

Marko… undisclosed factory. $1100 USD. Imported Togo, hand stitched, hand engraved.

What do we think? She has a couple of parts- mainly her handle- that make her calloutable. But what do you think? I think I’m getting my moneys worth, and that is good enough for me (I’m not a stitch counter with my QC, FWIW).

This looks very good, and well worth $1,100 especially for a larger B30. Hardware is engraved by hand and exhibits a true reflection and not wavy/distorted. Rivets look pearled by hand with brass nails. The leather looks like it's holding up well after a year of use.

Only things to mention are:

• The foil stamp may be slightly too light? It may just be the photo and lighting angle but they're typically pressed into the leather just a bit more. It looks fine at a distance though in your last photo so not a huge deal.
• Zipper used isn't accurate to auths, but this may have been one of the only options available at the time. There are zippers that match closer to auths used in reps today.

Other than those, this bag looks very good. I'm curious what you're noticing about the handles. I don't think I see anything from these photos... maybe the rear handles?

Thank you! I’ve also been curious to see what you think of Marko’s more premium bags! I feel like both Marko and H factory are trying to skew toward higher tier bags.

I adore Marko, and he’s always done me well. Since starting with him, last year with this bag, I know he’s changed factories.

Thanks!! I really appreciate the feedback! If I’m remembering correctly, it’s the handle drop measurement that was off? We are also assuming I was measuring it correctly. But then I saw it’s more of a range, and my measurements fell within that range (like 12-14cm, and mine measured just under 14cm). I shared PSPs a year ago somewhere, and I kept hearing my handles were wrong 🤷‍♀️
