Absolutely adore your choice, Claire! It's a bummer to part with such a stunning piece for repairs, but it's totally worth it for that flawless finish. Embrace the sparkle and shine with this burgundy beauty - it's a delightful deviation from the usual. Can't wait to see you dazzle with it once it's back. Cheers to stepping out of the comfort zone and adding a dash of fabulous to the collection. You've got an eye for the unique, and it's refreshing to see. Keep shining and keep us posted on the journey of this gem!

Given the uncertainty I think you made the right call Claire - you still have all your bases covered! Also - remember if I can help from Abroad I will source one here!

Good decision, enjoy the bag, it's beautiful!

Very few unboxing make me say “WOW” but this one did!!!!

I love the mini with the sequins and the burgundy is perfect. Great for the holiday season when sparkles and sequins would be perfect even for someone who doesn’t do ridiculous bags. Yiu have all your neutral and sensible bags. Time for some thing not so sensible! Good for you! Enjoy it.

You've 💯 made the right choice. It's just a shame you'll be without her while she's being repaired, BUT then she should perfect in every way! ❣️✨️ Viva la ridiculous! 🙌🏼

Love the bag..a few sequins would not make any difference to me ❤❤❤..glad u make the decision to keep it..congrats

PPS and yes yes yes to the burgundy peekaboo! I am also very interested in a peekaboo now!!

Fellow burgundy lover 👋🏻. Beautiful bag. You’re right to get it fixed if you love it so much as another may have worse issues. It’s a hard game to play unless you can see them all in person to compare. Things like this happen but so long as they offer to fix it then that’s good. Hope you get it back quickly.

What a beautiful color!!! I totally understand why you are going this route. Looking forward to the update-Eva

Stunning bag ❤ congratulations 🥂 the colour is simply beautiful. Cannot think of a better evening bag tbh ❤

I watched your video this morning and was so so happy to find that you had bought the wine colored sequined Fendi baguette!!! That color is absolutely divine and my all time fav color! I cannot get this bag at this time so was thrilled to see one of my favorite KZfaqrs was able to snag this beauty for me to live thru vicariously!!

You definitely made the right choice. They will repair it and the whole bag will be perfect. Can’t wait to see you rocking your new beautiful bag!!

PS yes yes yes to the sequins and being 'ridiculous' - I have the purple colour sequin mini and I am loving it!!! Burgundy is a def fav of mine too! It is a neutral in so many ways.

What a perfect neutral sequin bag! Can’t wait to see how you style it. Happiest birthday to you, congrats! 🍾 🎉

Claire- where has she been all your life? She is perfect! What a gorgeous bag!

I think your decision to repair is a good one - especially since the repair will be so minor and the rest of the bag is perfect. It's a gorgeous bag and color! Happy New Year!

Fab video Claire. Love love love this bag! It is a stunning colour. I think overall based on your options I would do the same. I just hope they don't keep it for ages whilst repairing. If you were not totally in love with it then obv just get a refund but I know how much you love this bag! It is totally stunning!!

I’ve been eyeing that same bag and it’s beautiful! 😍 congrats! 🎉 I think you made a good decision to keep it and repair it bc the spend stays with your CA and you maintain the relationship ❤ good luck with the repair!

This burgundy one, by far is the most pretty sequin one!! congratulations!!

Not sure how I missed this video, Claire - better late than never. It is stunning, absolutely love this Fendi Burgundy. Huge congrats on your new stunner 💕. And extremely late happy birthday 🥳

It’s a beautiful bag, but yes, the sequins are such an issue for Fendi. I’m confident they’ll do a great repair, but it’s still disappointing they can’t simply get you a new one from Rome.

I absolutely adore your new sequin baguette. I purchased the same in the fuchsia color just before Christmas. Mine did not arrive 'perfect' either but it wasn't missing any sequins. The only thing I noticed that 2 or 3 of the sequins were bent and its impossible to get the creases out of this material when they are bent but....I just loved the bag and I kept it. I was able to tuck a few of the bent sequins behind other sequins and you would absolutely never know there was any problems at all. I figured it was something that most likely will happen while I use the bag too so why return. I've taken her on a cruise and felt so special and happy each time I carried her. I can't wait to use her again. Thank you for this great video and I can't wait to see how it all works out.

Stunning bag, It will be repaired and you will forget all about the problem. I would stick with this one.

Beautiful bag!! I hope your repair goes smoothly ❤

I’d have made the same decision. Beautiful bag 😍

Wish we had a “Harrods” in Tampa FL. We have Neiman’s and Nordstroms but neither have Fendi. Have to travel 3 hours to go to a Fendi. But maybe it’s worth it....?

Beautiful 😊

Beautiful piece ⭐️

Beautiful bag ♥️ I hope everything turns out perfect for you 🤗 It’s gorgeous!

Love the bag also love your top where is it from please ❤

Beautiful bag

Hate the birthday in winter! 7 of our family members including me have birthdays.

Well I know for sure I won’t be adding one of these to my collection. Fabulous bag but that sounds like a headache. I’d take my money back.

Oh my gosh, that is a gorgeous bag but this is not a good reflection on Fendi's quality control. I think you should be financially recompensed for all the hassle you're going through. As this is such a considered purchase I hope you're happy with the final repair 🤞

WoW never seen the burgundy

Will you be able to return it if more sequins fall off in the future?
