I finally received my medium blush Ava from Lord and Taylor and the handle has fraying too. It seems like my medium blush Selma is better quality and more functional. I'm a little torn. I really liked the Ava style when I saw it online, but I'm not too sure about it now that I have it. Is the snap closure easier to deal with when the bag is full?

I really feel like the Selma overall has better quality than the Ava. Although reaaally cute, I feel like they cut a lot of corners to make the Ava more affordable.

The snap is definitely easier when it's full! I do put my IPhone 6 plus in that inner pocket next to the snap to make it easier for it to snap on its own. Also putting my phone there makes it have less dimples when I have it packed!

Well that sucks :( contact customer service and ask to speak to a supervisor. I was able to get an additional 25% off because the fraying on mines. I haven't used mines yet so not sure about the snap closure.

Thanks for the tip! I was hoping the snap would work better when the bag is full.

I totally thought of you when I was opening my box. You can tell that the fraying will get worse too. What did you tell them? I was tempted just to return, but it seems like it's a common issue. I want to try and give the bag a chance...it's so darn cute. But instead of selling my blush Selma...I'm going to hold off until I'm sure about which blush bag to keep.

I've just received my medium blush ava and on one side the leather doesn't look very nice. I've looked at all Ava's posted on here to see if anyone had the same problem but it doesn't seem like it. I think I will make a return but am unsure whether to get a replacement or not..

Sorry I don't know why my picture came up so big!!

Oh that does look bad. Mine didn't look like that, but mine had fraying on the short handle.

Yes that does look defective :(
I would say don't give up . My small dark dune doesn't have this problem or the fraying either .

I originally wanted the Pearl Grey from NM but they sold out. So I bought the Raspberry when Bloomingdales was having their $25 off of every $100 sale. I ended up getting this and a Tile Blue small wallet for $306!!! In the end I'm really happy with this color since it sings soooo loudly to me every time I wear it out!

That bag looks like it was made for you! So fab!! Are you using tile blue wallet with the raspberry? Those are 2 of my fave colors!

Agh.. Yeah my 2 Avas did not come with that problem. Definitely return and decide if you want to do an exchange. I know you're in Australia so idk how easy it is to make an exchange :( but how do you like it so far? Is it what you were wanting?

Hi ladies, is it from specific retailers that we are seeing fraying on the handles? I just joined this forum because I was so obsessed about this bag and was trying to decide what size and color I should get. Now that I placed my order on Macy's for the small Ava, I am worried about fraying. I was gonna try and order the medium Ava in blush from either NM or Bloomingdale's but I think I should hold off. :balloon:

I love the look but was just unsure if it suited me! I think the bag is very cute and classy style and my younger sister tells me it's too cute for me (because she wants me to give her the replacement!) I know it took you a while to get into it right? I just love the look but the snap closure is slightly annoying. I just keep pulling it out and trying it on LOL! I've emailed Bloomingdales for a replacement so I'm waiting to hear back from them. I think I got it for a decent deal? (20% and extra 10% off)

I got mine from Macy's and it seems perfectly fine. The only thing I was not prepared for was that the bag did not come in a box, it came in a plastic bag ! I was sure there was going to be something wrong with it but it's perfect !

Thank you so much! I do use it in my Ava since my continental wallet takes up so much space in my bag! The color combo to me is more than amazing.
