I love Furla bags, I think most of the bags are still made in Italy while most of their other items are not. My bf bought me a white leather and embossed snakeskin Farrah bag around 2 years ago and it's still going strong. It gets dirty quite easily as it is white and the edges are a bit worn but it's expected, no matter what brand of bags you buy. Personally I think Furla is still very affordable if you compare the price with other Italian designer brands, and the leather is very good quality too.
I'm actually in the process of finding a new Furla bag to purchase, that's why I came across this forum, but I can't decide yet as there're no Furla store here in Melbourne, Australia any more and I'm getting my friend who is currently in Manila to visit the Furla store there and buy one for me. I can't wait for her to call me when she visits the store some time next week!
