Thanks Ladies for replying. All very much appreciated😊. There was someone named Loves Cats 80 who asked about a matching wallet for Augusta or any wiven bags from PN's line. If you remember, ID STRONGHOLD used to sell @QVC. They have their own website and have a Mother's Day SALE. The do have some WOVEN leather truly an RFID protected wallets. If anyone is interested, pls do check out the site. That brand is the only one I trust when it comes to RFID concerns (and I use their sleeves also if I use a tiny bag).

I saw this gal at Dillards thurs. with this tiny, tiny shoulder 'purse' .  I thought 'hun, you can't keep nothing but a cell phone in that thing'.

 

credit card is about all. How in the world do people do that, I do not know. Just do not know.


If I am just going to the grocery store or a few errands I use a small crossbody or if I have pockets I do not carry a purse at all.  It is so freeing lol.

@Jersey Born and @SharkE:
Hi Ladies. Thanks again for answering my concerns💋 and I finally received my PN Discovery Signature Embossed MINORY Satchel in Biscuit on May 09. It was beautiful, I love the color [my supposedly first Discovery] but upon inspection I "discovered" several "unsightly" Manufacturer's Defects:
1) A noticeable leather damage [peeling/curling out] right next to the seams at the front base panel of the bag;
2) There are 3 scuffs at the middle, lower front part of the bag;
3) Stretched out leather at the seams located at the side of the bag where the zipper is mag-snapped, created big gapping needle holes! Although the exact opposite side, near where the zipper tongue rests when zipped, appears to be normal.
4) The threads on the collar of the bag near the studs were sewn badly.

I didn't bother to take out the bag strap and the crushed paper out to further inspect the inside of the bag as I got totally disappointed and mad at the way my bag was finished. Btw, the leather patch that shows the serial # wasn't as deeply pressed on the patch unlike with her older Discovery series from the past. Hardly legible on mine.

On the bright side, I know now that the dust bag for her Discovery line is in dark brown instead of the usual beige; also, the beautiful handles seem to be flawless.

I don't want to be bothered sending this to Knoxville so I emailed QVC, sent all the proof/attachments later that same day [let QVC handle this] and I asked for my money back and to not charge me using their QReturnLabel.
Yes, mine definitely was a whopping miss!🙄

Anyway, I still am delighted for you ladies not having any problems with all your Discovery bags👜💐.
I will try my luck next year🤔, perhaps.

Till next time💖💗💕❣

Yikes, sorry U got a lemon

mine always comes smelling like new leather and tissue paper covering every little detail and stuffed with enough paper to paper a house with.

 

You did the right thing QVC will stand good on it.

Hi Ladies. My reviews got posted today, May 17, 2023. If you want, you can see the images of the defective spots in the particular serial # I got
[I didn't show the serial#, though I included it in my email attachment to QVC Easy Return Dept, am sure that bag I got will be fixed up eventually] Discovery MINORY Satchel plus Patricia's KETTLEWELL Satchel [btw, I forgot to explain there that I fully understand that when you open it at its widest point it will lock. Problem is, when it's time to close it it won't close, like it jawlocks coz one side of the hinge has a bad/unevenly folded sewing that gets stuck open, you've to struggle a bit to close the opening. You'll see it in the images...]. That's 1 of 2 defects for that bag.

By mistake, I clicked the "Send" button so the Defect 1 of 4 from my Discovery Minory Satchel I received is not shown there, though I managed to include it to my Kettlewell Satchel review.

Have a lovely evening💐💕, ladies!

Pleasant evening, @stevieb. I agree. I always dreamed of owning at least one her Discovery line bags. I tried once with her MINORY Satchel but w/o luck. I will try again probably next year.

And to you as well @Mrs 4ft10in 100lbs, hope your day has gone well. The Minory is quite pretty but I take it the bag didn't work out. I do wish she's bring back some of her Discovery bags from time to time. They have been among her better work.

@stevieb, yes, I did thank you. Wish you the same.
And yes, it did not go very well as I 'discovered' 4 defects😭 on what I received. I showed all of them in my review, although with defect 1 of 4, I forgot to add, but managed to show it in my returned Patricia Nash Kettlewell Satchel w/c has 2 annoying defects.
In fairness to Patricia, I feel and see her passion in her designs. I love her, I wish I have her talent as well. Just that I seem to always get a lemon😂😟🙂.
Glad you are happy with most of your PN bags: Discovery & her Regular though equally gorgeous line. TTFN💖💋

I believe there is a new PN bag as a TSV on HSN in the next few days...anyone know what it might be? Also, there is a current crocheted PN bag on QVC site right now as a Big Deal. Cute, summery, looks vintage macrame to me. Wish it was NOT a snap closure!
