Was wondering if anyone has tried the PPB Boxy Backpack but in Glazed material.. isit heavy to carry ? And does it hold up well in the long run ?

I was going to ask this question thank you OP :)
Their sale is coming up!!! Tomorrow??

I'm intending on buying a brocade purse but my fears, personally, having owned several pieces of "cheongsam" a Chinese style dress in the brocade material so I am familiar with it. Brocade ideally, to maintain its shape, needs to be dry cleaned. Yes it snags, only if you brush past sharp objects like the corners of furniture and sharp corners of fingernails. When storing cheongsam away I had to make sure I keep them in the vinyl shirt protectors, away from accidents and dust. If you buy a light colored pattern I guess the snags won't be so obvious kwim?
