I ordered a second one and it had rub marks on the the edge and a couple threads that seemed to already be fraying. I ordered a third one from Saks and it came to me with a GIANT black mark about 5 inches long on the back of it.
Because of the one I saw with rub marks and frayed threading, I'm wondering if that will happen to my bag if I use it - so now I'm just admiring the bag sitting on my dresser and leaning towards returning it. $600 for such a bag doesn't seem that worth it.

I agree with bellesandbeauxs as I also personally don't feel as though the bag is worth $600 but that's just me. I got mine from
Nordstrom Rack for less than $100 and while I haven't had any issues, from other posts I've read, the quality really seems to be hit or miss. I've gotten tons of compliments and I like the bag and felt it was worth the price I paid.
That being said, I think that people should love what they buy and want to wear it. If I don't love something I pass on it. As far as the quality of the bag goes, I wouldn't be afraid to use it if you love it and brought it from a department store because if you end up having issues with it fraying, falling apart, etc you can always return it. Case and point: I had a pair of TB boots I brought at the end of the season from
Neimans and never wore and when I went to wear them at the beginning of the season the next year, the zipper fell apart after having them on for two minutes - TB was no help but
Neimans allowed me to return them because it was an issue with the quality.
Hope this helps! Good luck with your decision!
