on't you hate it when something you are so excited to get turns out to be not what you expected? I was so excited when I placed my
Kate Spade order for the wallet last week and I couldn't wait for it to come. My husband wasn't impressed because when the courier arrived he had to pay $87 for duty tax. Can you believe it?!? That's just ridiculous. So I had such huge hopes for it since I already paid so much for this damn wallet. At first glance everything seemed to be just perfect. The box was gorgeous and the packaging was so nice. It all went downhill from there...
I opened the box to see a card that was a coupon of $50 off my next order of $250 or more. Not sure if I will buy something in the near future as the shipping and duty tax is so expensive to Canada...
Right away I noticed the wallet was not what I had ordered. The wallet I ordered online had a turn-lock closure, not a snap closure.
The wallet was pretty thick. I think it's because it had cardboard protecting the leather.
I mean, this isn't a bad wallet, but it's not what I ordered!
The coin purse at the back is still the same.
Such a cute lining.
Here's a close-up of the front.
Here's the wallet opened.
It came with a care card and authenticity card.
So I noticed there was a smudge mark on the leather. I circled it in white here. It's hard to tell in this shot, but you definitely notice it in person.
All the pockets had the cute paisley lining, but one of the pockets had the other side of the fabric.
This is what it's supposed to look like- the paisley lining on both sides.
I'm so annoyed. I don't want to pay for the return shipping, but I also don't want to keep a wallet that's defective. I already wrote their customer service and I am waiting for their reply. Has this ever happened to you before???
