Medallion owners how are your handles?

[mischalei]

Mine was made in France. The bottom is a bit more saggy but that doesn't bother me as long as the handles hold up! I really don't think they will so I am going to need to find another workhorse purse.

I've had my bag just shy of a year, and they still stand up perfectly straight. Ive taken care of it, but I have used it, so it seems like you may have a defect with your handle. I would take it back and exchange it before it gets to late.

My bag was made in Italy..

i want a medallion tote but am worried about floppy handles -- i can deal with a saggy bottom (insert obvious joke here) but not floppy handles! i came across this auction of a preloved made in france tote (reputable seller) -- it looks like she had to intertwine the handles to make them stand up:

someone said that the made in france handles are thicker than the made in italy ones -- the ones in the pics i posted look pretty thin to me.

I had a medallion tote for a year and I never had these problems. I think it's just how you store your bag. I always tied the handles with Chanel ribbons, stuff the bag with tissue and always stored it upright.

This definitely looks like a France one. The France version has very very soft caviar which is why the thicker handles probably sag easier. Just go with Italy made Medallions. TRUST me

Makes me happy to know i got an Italy one!

My handles softened after some use, but the stitching where they connect with the bag still feels very firm and doesn't show any signs of weakening. I notice the handles flop down a bit more when not in use, originally they stood up stiff. I think I've grown more fond of the bag as time has passed, I've had mine 6 months or so... Overall I'm super pleased with the medallion, its a great well structured bag IMO.

Mine is made in Italy, I have had it almost 2 years and the handles are straight and not loose. I use it constantly and am not really that careful with it.
