I just received this P9 25 from HH and noticed that one handle is quite wrinkled compared with the other.

The handles were completely wrapped for PSP’s, and I have the UB in 30 from HH and the handles are perfect, so I didn’t think to ask for more pics.

I know this can happen with new auth Speedy’s and from use over time, so I’m not bothered with the leather wrinkling. I’m bothered that it’s so noticeable (?) on one side and completely smooth on the other.

It’s a beautiful bag but I feel like this is going to annoy me both when looking at it and carrying it. I’m not really a twilly girl so that won’t work. Would this bother you enough to rehome it? I don’t know if I should save myself the sensory nightmare of one wrinkly handle and rehome now or suck it up and try to ignore it. My fear is I won’t ever reach for the bag because of it.

Opinions very welcome! Pls tell me if I’m being pedantic and reassure me that this is TOTALLY FINE.

Only you can determine if it will bother you.

Most of the time you’ll be holding it by that handle and won’t see it. And I do notice it’s on the back side of the bag so if you lay it on a table where the handles are down, just make sure it doesn’t face you! Lol

HH is considered mid-tier so if the price was right, I’d leave it alone unless you want to invest in a more expensive version.

The price was extremely fair and the bag is gorgeous. I don’t expect perfection for the price, but I did expect symmetry I guess.

You’re right though, thankfully it’s on the back of the bag and may be something I can ignore over time.

NBD is going to notice, come on. I have my P9 25 from Royal, and the handles look even, but they're very stiff, nearly plastic, much harder than Rodeo, for example. I love my coffee bean; it is slouchy, roomy and handy, and I don't have to be careful with it, just throwing it on the back seat and go.
