I think it depends on use. The one I have from my speedy 20 already has some wear and snags. I wear it mostly crossbody and sometimes the strap catches on other embellishments on tops. It gets like little snags and small pulls, of course not really noticeable to anyone but me but I know they are there. I don't think they are 'forever' straps. I personally dislike them a lot but I don't have extra $$$ to go buying another strap. I had an Hermes black bag with a fabric strap that wore really bad and had pulls and snags quickly. It revealed white threads every time it snagged.Hi do the jacquard straps typically wear fast or it depends on the use?
