Thanks for the encouraging posts, maybe I'll consider the pebbled leather styles then! Would love to see pics if you get the bag gurlsaved.


I've also read that the saffiano on the Robinson *Mini* Double Zip Tote is different than the saffiano on the others, as in thinner, so I was wondering if it's any different in terms of the problems described here with a lot the saffiano bags. Has anyone had good or bad experiences with this bag in particular?

I would look for them on sale. I currently have 4/5 and they have all stood up well. One Robinson saffiano metallic continental wallet has worn slightly on the corners but no differently than any other wallet. I've been using a smaller version of the Robinson saffiano because it fits well in my crossbody bags and its been in regular use since May and looks brand new. I tend to rotate my wallets during the year based on the season. They hold up better than Coach wallets.

It looks really sturdy my sister has the Amanda continental wallet she carries it around everywhere and stuffs everything even her phone.

i've been looking to purchase a bag as a gift and it's been narrowed down to the Kate Spade CSM and the Tory Burch Robinson Micro Double Zip Tote. this thread has me concerned - should I buy the Kate or are they equally the same quality wise?

Well I honestly think that the Tory leather is better quality, I ordered from Kate Spade and I think the leather is not nice at all. I have over 10 Tory Burch bags and numerous wallets and have not had a problem with any. I think it depends on the age of the gift recipient, both are very popular with the younger age group, 25-40.

It would be a gift for someone in the 30s so I think they'll appreciate it. It's the Bloomingdale's exclusive blue colored Robinson which is one sale right now, but with taxes and duty comes to over $400 cdn.

thank you for your thoughts.

I bought the Robinson Triangle Tote about 15 months ago and have had several issues with it and it's made me question the quality of such an expensive bag as well. First, one of the stitches that cinches the sides together popped not even 6 months after I bought it - they switched the bag out and gave me a new one. Then the shoulder strap started to rip so they gave me a new strap. Then about a month ago the "new" shoulder strap completely ripped/broke! I took the strap to my local store and was told that it's been moved to the outlet and I have to take the whole bag there and get it switched out. So this will be my 3rd bag and strap. It's kind of a pain, thankfully I live in Orlando where there is an outlet but it's such a tourist attraction that it's a major pain the you-know-what to park and get in and out of there. Ugh. I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it.

I highly recommend buying Tory Burch's saffiano leather products. I bought the Robinson continental saffiano leather wallet over a year ago and it barely looks used. That being said, my Reva clutch is still looking good and it's not saffiano leather, but I'm super careful with it and only use it on special occasions. I think the leather on the clutch would very easily scuff if I used it regularly.

I purchased several colors of the Tory Burch Penny Wedge and wore each of them for 10 hours. They were quite comfortable. I am content with their quality. :smile1:

I own both brands and would put the quality on par with one another. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they're manufactured at the same factory.

I think my kate spade saffiano leather holds up better than my tory. It hasn't scuffed at all and I feel I can beat it around without worrying about it holding up.

The saffiano on my Kate Spade has held up 100x + better than anything Tory Burch saffiano I've ever purchased (and then returned!). I do not treat that bag lightly either (and I use it for school) and my Kate Spade still looks as new as the day I purchased it.
