Hi, i have both the Medium and Large College bags and i haven't had any issues with the top handle popping off or the threading coming out. I did notice in the store that some of the bags had leather that looked like it had peeled off in some parts revealing the grey underneath, so i highly suggest inspecting the bag before purchasing.Im really interested in getting the medium college bag but I’ve seen multiple YouTube reviews showing how the threading came undone and the top handle popped off. For you college bag owners, is this is common? Have you had any issues?
