Almost all of my handbags are LV's. I think that LV has great customer service. I once had a handbag that had a peeling problem 8 months after buying it. They readily took it back and I took a store credit. I am thinking about buying a Gucci handbag but before I do I wanted to know if anyone has had any quality issues and if so, how they were resolved. Also, does the gold finish wear off easily on the hardware? If it has, what does the company do about it?
