Hello bloggers! Some ladies here suggested that I should start on a new thread about the problems with the edges on the AW bags. I had my AW since late october and have been using it every since. There is barely movement on my bag when I walk but apparently the edges are extra sensitive. I heard some of you ladies have had this problem so please share your experiences.




Heres my baby:

First off, I'm so sorry It's such a bummer when a loved bag takes a hit.

Keep us posted on what AW says and if they won't fix it I'll be a local Cobbler/Leather Expert would be able to help. I've had edging repaired on saddlery and such through my local saddle shop so if all else fails try that maybe or you can always send her to Barbara at lovinmybags.com for repair. She does amazing work and her standard repair price list is on her site.

cool thanks for the suggestions!

Wow, that's really bad, I luckily haven't had that problem.. yet, i'll have to be extra careful and rotate my bags around more.. hope you can get it fixed!!

i hope so too! I really LOVE LOVE my AW bag!! The love it so deep that I can feel it in my lungs

See! This is what I heard and was worried about!!
It's so embarrassing when carrying it because people could think that it's fake!! Ugh. I swear the quality went down though. My baby Grey Rocco had such thick leather.

Hmmm...this does worry me. I wonder how AW will address this? I am guessing they are just going to brush it off as normal wear and tear. I suppose getting the Black Rocco's repaired will be easier than those of color. I dunno, is it ultimately inevitable with these fragile leathers?

cinnabun + ms.shopchic: do you have the newer bags with the straps? I heard it's only common with the recent bags... I carried mine for the first time today and was worried sick about the edging and had to check every so often to see if they were getting worn out. I don't want a bag that I have to baby!

Wow, that's disappointing. I was considering a Lia but now I'm rethinking it.

I'm new to this sub-forum, is this common with AW bags? TIA

Goodness, never seen anything like that before. I hope it can be resolved favourably!

yes it is the newer one with the strap... sigh

that happened to the piping on my diego a few months after i got it. i had contacted AW and spoke to 3 different people and got e-mails from them and they said i could send it in but it would take quite a while to fix it. i ended up sending it through Holt Renfrew and they weren't able to fix it, so i got a store credit instead.

NOW...i have one of the newer baby rocco's and i can see the piping on this one slowly starting to rub. :( so upsetting.

sigh, I think I will try to fix it myself by sewing something on top of it. It seems too much of a hassle and a lot more money spending just to fix the edge. I'll keep you ladies posted how my self repair goes.

a Barneys SA asked me if i had a problem with my rocco ( first season).
i told her no and she said there is a major problem with piping on newer bags.

Yeah, it's the newer bags... x I don't think it's all new bags though because I've seen some people who've been using their bags daily and nothing's happened.
