That's a gorgeous bag. Why would the quality suck? Practically everything is made in China these days, because of the manufacturing expertise the Chinese possess. Labour practices is another issue, but I'm sure that varies a lot. I had a DKNY bag many years ago and it was great quality. I only stoped wearing it because like a fool I yanked off the zip when something got stuck in it when I was waiting in line at a shop and reached inside for my wallet. I still have a great DKNY wallet my husband bought me years ago. Then a couple of weeks ago I was very tempted by a fantastic DKNY satchel. But when I went back to the store it was gone. Have to say, in my neck of the woods I haven't seen a DKNY bag as great-looking as yours!
