I have the open lux tote from several years ago.....I went yesterday to NM because I would like to buy another lux tote in a fun color and noticed that the open totes do not seem to be as good quality as the one I have used for several years! The open lux totes I looked at seemed to have no structure at all and the leather almost looked cheap to me.....I also noticed that in the smaller tote with zipper and strap, there was a tiny stitch at the front right side....it almost looked like a tear but the SA said that Prada is now doing this with all their bags? Can anybody confirm....or have feedback on any notice in drop in quality?
We may be referring to the same thing about the stitch coming out of the corner hole (where the zipper is). It is just scary. I hope they can be consistent in terms of quality. They said that it it is typical for the stitch to break or something like that esp in edges since saffiano is a hard leather.
