Yes, I was the one with the hologram trouble. Parts of the bronze do start to come off quickly...especially around the edges and where the coin purse rubs the front of the bag. It is beautiful, though. I got lucky and the Fendi boutique returned it and sold it back to us for $500, so then I came home with the hologram and the cognac. If not for the nice people at that boutique I wouldn't have the hologram anymore. It's way too expensive for anything to happen to it, in my opinion.
