Are you in the UK, like somethinggoodcanwork? There might be some differences between the US and the UK in this regard. Just about everyone rich in the US is nouveau riche.
I think there is a certain level of nostalgia that plays into this, though I do think some brands have cut more and more corners over the years. However, it seems to me that some people (as the member above noted) inspect their bags for minute flaws that really aren't flaws. I think there should be a level of good production, if not perfection, at all price points. Paying more should certainly guarantee a better or higher quality of materials but it doesn't always equal the same level of workmanship.
Is that place to hold cigarettes?times have changed.
Ugh, I usually have to bite my tongue when someone posts a photo that has been magnified to the point where the leather looks like the surface of the moon and says, "Look! There! See that tiny hole? Will that eventually make the bag peel?" Much hair-pulling when people say to return it as it is an obvious defect. Really? I see nothing. Then they circle it and I still see a normal bag. Expectations vs reality are skewed in some of the forums.
Lol!!

I think some folks are just picky. I don’t have nearly as many luxury bags as a lot of people on here, but I have items from several brands. I would have to say that my Chloe Marcie crossbody in nut (in my avatar) is my best quality bag. It has been in medium to heavy rotation for over six years now and it has only gotten better with age. I have had no problems with Balenciaga, Bally, Gucci, Louis Vuitton bags or Prada (wallet). My dh has an LV slg and a Gucci toiletry bag, no problems. Take care of your items. Also, I have a couple of Rebecca Monkoff bags as well as artisan made bags (think Novica) that I rotate as well. If I take my son to the water park, I carry my waterproof Haiku bag. I don’t take my Speedy or Day!
