Does the metallic finish on the anthracite...

OH YEAH!! I had to return mine to BG because the metallic finish was peeling off. I'm still not over it.

 

I had to return my anthracite Paddy after having it for 2 days. The metallic part was peeling and there was some cracks along the handles.

 

It almost seems a shame that something so expensive seems to 'wear' so quickly - although, i guess, if you like the vintage, worn in look, then it could be cool.
However, if it were a bag that i'd bought, i'd expect more perfection for the money.

 

Mine is perfectly fine .......... got it for Christmas and have used it regularly!

 

I used mine twice (very lightly), and the finish was rubbing off. I returned it and exchanged it for a zippy in chocolat that I love!

 

i bought mine around december last year and it hasn't flaked at all. still looks great. haven't had problems with color rubbing off either.

 

I agree...with the non-metallic colors I think vintage looks awesome. With the metallics though, they are suppose to look more rocker chic...so fading and peeling should not happen, but it does. ush:
