You took that right out of my brain!
Really cuts down on the impulse buying when part of the decision is the "made in ______" tag.
Great point!
Other deal breakers for me:
- Whipstitching (I like the way it looks, but not the way it wears)
- PVC (this is a huge pet peeve of mine)
- Excessive charm action; hardware that looks like the metallic finish is painted on (a la Kathy VZ)
- Very heavy
- Can only be handheld
- Plastic interior zippers
- Massive logos
I am sure that there's more...like many of you, I am peeeecky about my bags.
ETA:
- Price (doh)
- Retail...I don't do retail if at all possible!!!!
