For those who may wish to know, I've only recently been introduced to this line by way of a TJMaxx purchase. A lifelong addiction to equestrian sports and frequent participation, one easily has a chance to see how truly fine leather-work looks, feels and behaves with time and with proper care. To answer the question and judging only by a 1st purchase, I think it's a lovely product -- looks like a four to five hundred dollar bag. My only reservation is a production mistake likely is why it didn't end up at a Bloomingdale's at greatly an increased price. Since it involves the omission of a small decorative element upon a handle, I can wrap a pretty scarf or contrive up some sort of bauble ... No one will ever know. It's probably good to thoroughly vet a bag bought through a discount entity (retail or online). Chances are good it couldn't pass critical QC, though often these things are almost imperceptible. Good to know however manufacturers of the highest caliber (high ranking designers in particular) will often destroy a product with any irrevocable defect rather than chance sacrificing a valued reputation regardless of wares or product.
It's sooo soft!
