Hi everyone,
I was looking for a bucket bag and thought the Girolata would be a good choice. The bag looks gorgeous and I also like that it can be worn as a shoulder bag or hand held bag. But when I saw it at the LV store, I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the bag. I'm worried about two things. First of all, the sides are just two pieces of canvas stitched together, with a leather strap securing it. I'm afraid that over time the stiches will become loose and I will get a tear. Secondly, the holes where the cord runs through are also just stitched and not secured with leather or metal.
I would like to use this bag as an everyday bag, so I'm looking for a durable bag without major quality issues. Does anyone have quality issues with this bag or should I just trust in the LV quality and go for it?
