Kiss_my_tiara, mine did the same thing (the flap on the dangly piece), and I hear it's pretty common. At first I tightened it by tightening the screws on the sides of the flap (which worked, for a while), then it got so loose even that woudln't work. So I took it to my shoe repair guy, and he fixed it, but it's still not really, really tight. I bought it from Barneys BH, who had originally told me to bring it in and they'd ship to Fendi NY (because for some reason, Fendi LA doesn't do this). They also told me I'd be without it for a few weeks. So I called Fendi NY and they said a shoe guy should be able to fix it. So it cost me a few bucks, but no waiting. It is annoying, isn't it? Although I wouldn't call it spoilt, personally.
