Was checking out the 1955 Horsebit large tote and I'm confused. Gucci's description reads "made from GG Supreme canvas" and the bullet points reads "Original GG canvas". From the pics I'm guessing it is of the original canvas and my question is...do you think Gucci has somehow fixed the canvas disaster of the Frida era? Maybe I was mistaken when I thought Gucci wouldn't dare repeat that mistake and I somehow feel let down. Are they really going to sell a bag for $2200 knowing it will die a slow death in a couple of years? I just loved that canvas and planned on keeping a couple of my canvas bags forever. I actually preferred it to leather and it killed me to hurry up and sell my entire collection before they showed the awful canvas blemishes that still makes me sad when I see one for sale all tore up looking. Coach, Fendi etal never had that canvas problem and not sure how Gucci dropped that ball somehow. Do I dare purchase this bag knowing the problem may still exist??
Obviously, it's not going to be as hardy as coated canvas and choose fabrics wisely that it will rub against, but it won't be prone to rubbing/ fraying in the same way as the original sig fabric woven fabric..
