Actually no: the Croisette has no cracking issue, to my knowledge. Because, other than on the Pochette Metis, the edges are not cut and glazed, but folded over and sewn together, which is not only neater, but also more durable. I had two Pochette Metis, they both developped issues on the flap within the first year. My Croisette still looks like new after five years, and I‘ve worn it a lot.
