That is just bizarre...hope it's not indicative of ongoing quality problems. I would be flabbergasted to get a bag with mis-matched hardware.

I still love their stuff, but I saw a photo of the miss matched hardware and it was very odd. When I wanted the pacific roxy so many of them had scratches and then when I got a fresh one the stitches were broken and the strap would have fallen apart .I had paid full price for it. I ordered the mineral roxy since it was on sale and was pleasantly surprised when it was perfect. So I wonder if it is certain colors of leather or fabric they are having difficulty with. I am still considering getting another roxy, but if I pay full price I want it to be perfect.

Totally agree. This is especially a problem for those of us who are not in the U.S and who may have paid customs, etc., so returning is very costly and onerous. That said, like your Mineral Roxy, my Pacific LaRoxy was also perfect.

Here's a longstanding issue that's always bothered me given the price of the bags. They never seem to be able to get the stitching tension right. This is one reason I'm hesitant to let go of my olive Lizzy. It's basically perfect in this regard. IMG_1469446337.216500.jpgIMG_1469446364.469511.jpg

Other much cheaper bags don't seem to have this problem.

That is why I am hesitant to get rid of the my baby janes that I don't wear since my shoulder does not like round handles. The bags are perfect and the currant and the navy colors are stunning. I keep hoping my shoulder will heal to a point wear I can wear them even though I know in reality that if it has healed by now it is highly unlikely. What do you with the ones you know you can't get again but don't really work for you?

That's a tough one. Could you learn to hand or arm carry? Baby Jane has the elegance to be worn that way.

For me, if it really doesn't work, I eventually let a bag go. But that's not to say I don't hang onto it for a long time, hoping it or I might magically change.

You absolutely should expect that. I am fortunate that the only MZ defective bag I ever received came from Nordies and it was clearly a Nordies problem with in-store handling not an MZ problem. Nordies has shipped me defective bags several times from various brands so I won't buy bags from them online anymore. It's been a hassle every time.

Yep...this has been an issue forever. Would love to know why they can't get it right.

Haha - same here. If I'm not using I eventually let it go but if I really like it, it will take a while. I have this attachment with a few right now.
