I got an order today (department store) and the box was too short for the length of the bag, so the soft leather corners were scrunched up and dented in. If the bag wasn't missing coloring in several areas, I'd keep it.
But the scariest thing? They TAPED the price tag to the bag (it was already attached with a clear plastic tag string). I understand that whoever packaged this bag probably wanted it to look "neat & all in order with tag" so they double-rolled the tape on the back of the tag and affixed it to the front of the bag, but putting tape onto soft leather is ill-advised, you'd think. I am returning it, but I did remove that tape and am shipping back in a bigger box than what I received.
I think this proves that no one handles bags like someone who actually enjoys and loves them. Though, if I have to be nitpicky...I have only ever received GORGEOUS and careful packaging from Tory Burch online, and I never even asked for gift packaging.
