I returned my bronze metal tote to Revolve. I hated the bag. I hated the color and thought the leather was very cheap looking and feeling. My husband actually saw the bag waiting to be returned in the box and said he thought it looked like a clown's bag (????) and he hoped I was returning it.
I returned it and bought a beautiful Yves St Laurent tribute bag for $479.00 marked down from about $1,200. so I felt I got a new great bag which is perfect for me.
I know alot of people love their AC totes, maybe in person you have more luck to see what the leather is like and can pick a good bag.
