gosh the boutique i work for in here in florence just got its style in, but in different leather patterns and colors. we have a lilac and steel grey embossed ostrich style with a chocolate brown suede between the zips. They are gorgeous!!
As to lying SA, your SA may not have known that some bags are made in China, now more and more Furla bags are made in China but this is still pretty recent. The reason is the pricepoint of course, the ones made in China are less expensive so the price does reflect that and from my store manager told me this is how you can get a buffalo leather bag for 4-500, what other brands offer that? I have several Furla bags, one is made in China and two others in Italy and there is no difference in quality to be honest. I guess I just do not really care about it for two reasons; one is that nowadays in Italy Chinese workmen assemble the bags too and two that most made in Italy bags are made elsewhere and only the finishing touches are done in Italy. Now, what also bothers me is that I feel there is an issue of discrimination involved because why are Chinese people worse than Italians? I think we are made to feel this way because of the food scandals associated with Chinese made food products but a Furla or Burberry or whatever bag is still made of Italian leather in China in their own factories with the same quality control so there should be no issue. Like I said my store manager has also recently become aware that bags are made in China. I am only trying to point out that it may not have been intentional.
Hi everyone, Im new to the Purse Forum. I just want to share some of my thoughts on Furla Nerin Woven handbag. I was looking for an everyday bag that doesnt need to be baby, yet functional and stylish. When I saw the Nerin woven tote bag on Furla website, I fell in love instantly. I didnt make the purchase right away (it was at full price $995). But I know Furla always goes on sale, so I waited it and finally got it at 30% off ($697). The bag was overnight-ed to me. When I opened the package, I couldnt believe my eyes. Its more beautiful than the pictures. Its well made (handmade in Italy) and looks rustic and delicate at the same time. (How is it possible??? How did Furla do it??). Also talking about the intoxicating Italian leather smell .:nuts
This tote bag is made of weaved and washed cow leather with the Italian craftsmanship for the interwining slings, gives a luxury effect of weaving. It reminds me of the Orchid Cabat that I own from Bottega Veneta. However, Nerin is a much heavier tote bag due to the material, and it is not a knock-off of BV by any means. It has achieved a delicate balance of high quality, simplicity, and sophistication. This bag with a smaller dimension (14" W x 11" H x 5" D, $895) in 2 different colors (Durian/dark, Sabbia/light) was offer and sold out at Macys and Zappos earlier this year. The Nerin on Furla website is slightly larger (17 W x 11 H x 7) and only available in Sabbia color. This bag is a steal, and Im so thrilled to own it. Thanks for letting me share my story.
Hi Everyone
I was visiting Rome at the weekend and bought a Furla Appaloosa in burnt orange with the suede stripe. The quality and finish is wonderful and I'm normally an LV and Gucci girl! The pricing is excellent and the staff very attentive. I will definitely invest in more from the brand. In fact I was so impressed I picked up a little Furla bag charm at the airport on the way home!
