Hello! I recently purchased a pre-loved Tory Burch bag - it was listed as 'Tory Burch Robinson Middy Satchel
https://poshmark.com/listing/Tory-B...zsZe0bap1p3DsAEYtkkNhSxSaBfhs5ihoCiUsQAvD_BwE

(I did not purchase from this link but my bag is the same) Working on getting my post count up so I can get it authenticated - but does this purse style even exist? Googling provides little to no pictures or info.

I believe it does exist, have seen them on eBay. Google the bag and you’ll see pics!

Purchased the Perry mini tote in black from Tory Burch. After looking at it I noticed major flaw in leather on front of bag. Shipping it back today! The flaw should have been noticed and never sent in first place! Turned around and bought Chelsea slouchy tote from Zappos and they price matched the Tory Burch sale!

Interesting. So I was looking at the site today and it seems they have changed the handles of the Ella patent tote for good. Here is a comparison of the Mini Ella I have (bought maybe 3 years ago) vs the new. (Mine has the smaller "T" logo)
I think the new handle design will hold up better than the "rolled" handles I have (that are now starting to chip).
Another note... I end up using this as hand-carry most of the time, as the handles are bulky and awkward on my shoulder unless I snap it up. And even then, it's not comfy. Looks like the new handles are more comfortable!
What do you think?

Yes, it does appear that TB has improved the design of this tote. I returned one years ago because of the peeling handles. I was really disappointed because I loved the functionality of the tote but I was afraid to buy another one.

Ah. Yes they tend to rub together quite a bit. I'm surprised mine hasn't peeled more! I have a tiny chunk that came out but it's barely noticeable. I'm glad they changed it though

I saw some totes with the round T logo ainside while some had "Tory Burch" on metal hardware. Wonder if both are good or the "Tory Burch" logo ones are fake.

My Thea center zip tote. I took it out after a few months and saw these marks on the leather. Is the leather drying up? Winters have gone on longer than usual..... Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Hi all! I just received my new McGraw tote in silver maple from Zalando (a huge European webshop), and there Are a few things I’m wondering about regarding it, I think it it was a return since it did not have any foam/plastic wrapping in the handles or anything:
- it has a very strong smell, not quite like regular leather but stronger, I can’t tell what it is - are they usually like this? Will it air out? (Almost like tobacco smoke but I can’t place it)
- it did not come with a dust bag, do they normally?
- some of the decorative stitching looks a bit loose, like there are some stitches that are sticking out a bit (I’m very neurotic, someone else might not even notice)

I have not used it yet, as these things bother me somewhat. The thing is, I got an excellent deal on it, it was -40% off and I had a gift coupon for 50€, so only ended up paying around 185€ for it, so I’m a bit hesitant to return as they’re sold out now.

Would you keep it? Nothing else wrong with it and it’s genuine. The smell is the thing that bothers me the most, it kinda makes my throat hurt... I’m concerned if it will air out.

Decided to return - the smell was so strong it made my throat hurt and closer inspection revealed more messy stiching and uneven stiches, also a stich hole in the handle where it looked like they were going to start the stitching but decided to start in a different place.

Now I’m not even sure if this is just a bad quality bag or maybe even a fake? Zalando sells legit stuff, so I don’t know how that would be possible, but I’m not going to take the risk.

I’m so sad, I really wanted to love this bag!
