I need help!! I am finally looking to get my first high quality leather bag. I am looking for a medium size shoulder (or crossbody) bag in delicious, soft leather. I would prefer a bag in gray, but am open to other colors if the bag fits my needs. I love pockets and organization..... can you guys steer me to some good bags??
The only hitch is that I have a bad right arm and therefore cannot carry an overly heavy bag. (
I have been eyeing the Linea Pelle Dylan new Shoulder Bag and I love the Dylan Zip Tote, but that just looks HUGE. Nowhere are the weights of most bags listed, so it is hard for me to make a decision just by photos.
Last week I ordered a Tignanello bag from QVC when it was a Today's Special Value. The size looked great and they made it sound like the leather was soft, soft, soft. I received the bag, it seemed just 'ok' but I started using it and after just one week the leather is already stained (I have NOT been in any rain), there are marks in the leather on the bottom, front and top. The only thing I have done with this bag is carry it to and from the car when I ran errands. I am VERY disappointed in this bag and will be returning it. My question is: Is this kind of immediately visible wear normal for leather bags?? Or was the bag I got just lower quality leather (or leather that was too thin)?
Any help/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
