It’s interesting to me how I tend to reach for a stronger, bolder colour palette come winter ~ jewel tones like ruby red, or onyx tempered with a touch of pale cream seem to be my favourite mix at the moment.
However, I really like the pop of blue that my purse provides to offset all the serious red and black, it’s nice and cheery on a cold winter’s day! You might have seen this purse sneak into my Instagram ~ as I love the style of it. But there are some downsides, which I am about to warn you of!
Oasap.com Product Review ~ The Three Pin Buckle Detail Makeup Case with Lace Trim to Flap
I am not happy with the quality of this bag. It is advertised as a makeup bag, so that may have something to do with the cheap feel, and the horrid plastic-y smell it had! I could live with both of those facts, particularly now that the smell has dissipated somewhat, but I am not impressed with how quickly the bag has started to break. : / The front strap guards are starting to pull away, they don’t seem to be attached securely. The worst damage is to the edging ~ the lace scallops around the edge of the bag flap have split and peeled, almost within the first week of carrying it. I had to mend the scallops with super glue and felt to stop them from breaking completely off!
That’s not good in my books, especially considering that I paid the full $42.00 for the purse as the 20% discount I was supposed to get didn’t apply to the transaction.
I did email Oasap about it, but they basically told me that if I wanted the discount I’d buy something else from them to get it. Er, no thanks! If the discount didn’t work the first time, why the heck would I buy something the second time and risk it not working again? Customer service fail if you ask me.
So long story short, although I love the look of my new bag, I am not sure I would buy it again if I had the choice. It’s a poor quality make in my opinion, too expensive for what it is and I was less than impressed with the customer service of that site. Sorry Osasp, but I am not buying from you again!
Have you guys had any experience with Oasap? Was it good or bad? Let me know in the comments, I want to be fair about this review. : )
