What a bad turn of events (Part 2)!

Pics of the cracked portion of the Gucci Bag

I have taken some pics of the cracked area. If you look at the pics, you can see the tiny crack is smaller than the already very small Gucci GG symbol. On the first pic, if you do not look closely, you almost think that is part of a crease or graining on the leather. The middle 2 pics is when I deliberately pushed the crack wider so you can see the underlying lighter brown area of the leather underneath. This is definitely not a tear thru using the bag. Plus it is on the side of the bag which is not a high stress area (I have marked the area on the bottom pic). If it is the handles area, or the corners of the bag (most likely to be knock or rub against), then it is more likely for this to happen thru use. But only if the bag was 'abuse'! Seriously, who on earth could spoil a bag unless you really intend to thrash it!

I will be very firm today at the shop.
