I had my heart set on getting the Montaigne GM after trying it on in the store. However, I noticed that all along the top rim of the bag and along the sides (basically along all the edges) the canvas is cut and there is a very thin layer of glazing used to seal it off. I was under the impression that the canvas was folded over and not just cut off like that before I handled it in person. I hope I'm making sense. It would probably be easier to understand if you either own the bag or have thoroughly looked at in in person. I decided not to get it because I asked my SA if it could be reglazed in the future and he said no, that only the vachetta trim could be replaced. What concerns me is that I also noticed a little fraying, like little fabric hairs starting to stick up. I checked another one and it was the exact same. So for anyone who has had experience with this bag, what is your opinion on this? How is yours holding up? Do you notice any wear and tear along the edges where the canvas is cut? I would appreciate any input. I simply can't seem to get this bag out of my head and I'm wondering if I should just take the plunge and get it. Aside from this issue, it is truly a stunning bag. I am just worried about what I described, that it will fray further or be more prone to cracking. Not a problem I want to have with a $2,500 bag!
Thanks in advance!
