Hi ladies,
I'm relatively new to TB, but really appreciate this discussion. I've been looking for a structured tote, so the large Robinson tote has been on my radar. I recently looked at the Robinson alongside a Longchamp Roseau at
Nordstrom. I believe that they were about the same price point. The SA highly recommended the LC due to the quality. However, I like the extra center zip pocket on the TB.
A friend of mine ordered the pink one when it was on sale from the TB website. Overall it looks gorgeous, but one of the side snaps popped out. I was searching for similar issues on the Bay and saw that there are others with this same issue. Since she hasn't removed the tags yet, I think she should contact TB about an exchange.
Overall, it's not a huge issue, but as one of the other ladies mentioned, when you spend this much on a tote/bag, there shouldn't be quality issues.
