I fell in love with this bag after seeing someone else use it on the course back in May. I saved up for months to finally afford it. When it arrived, I was incredibly excited—until I noticed the base of the bag was completely damaged.Look, mistakes happen, and I accept that. I still really want the bag! The issue is the shocking customer service.The initial response from Vessel UK was promising, offering a collection and replacement. The next day, they changed their tune and told me to return it for a refund. Because I used a first-time customer discount code and shouldn't have to pay return shipping for a faulty item, I just asked to return it and receive a new discount code to re-order.Since then, it has been complete radio silence. I have sent 4 or 5 follow-up emails with absolutely no response. For a luxury brand charging premium prices, you expect luxury service. Instead, I am left ignored with a damaged, expensive bag.
Update - Since posting this, I did receive an email within five hours arranging collection, followed shortly by another confirming a replacement was being shipped. They thanked me for my patience, which I appreciate, but at no point did I feel like they went above and beyond or made any effort to make me feel like a valued customer or was sorry for the experience. The new bag has arrived and it’s great — exactly what I wanted — but the experience has put me off buying anything further.
I was planning to order accessories to match the bag, but I’ll be looking elsewhere now. Maybe Vessel needs a new UK distribution partner, because the brand clearly has demand here, but the service doesn’t match the premium price tag.
