does anyone have any comments on the bronze color?

After owning about 32 Balenciaga bags, I have found that the metallics are extemely delicate. The corners will get worn after only a few times after use. I never put mine down and am always cautious what cothing I am wearing (no textured coats) so the corners will not rub a rough surface. I had the Bronze from Fall 2005 and when I received it, there were already all of these little cracks on that seam that goes around the borders of the bag. I brought it back to the store and they told me that this is the way the metallics are and it is normal. Well, I ended up selling it last year and the buyer contacted me about the same issue and she also said that she heard that the metallics peel and wear very quickly (I ended up giving her a discount). I also have the matte silver from Fall 2005 and that leather seems to be a little better. But still delicate.
