Balenciaga

I bought a bag recently where I had a stud pop off within 2 weeks of buying it. I never had any problems with my old Balenciagas. It took the Balenciaga store over a month to fix it and get my bag back to me.
 
My little Ferragamo Abby, $900, is easily the highest quality bag I own. There's just something about the stitching, leather, and feel and sensibility of this bag that is off the charts. Not to mention the clasp. I have been thinking it's just me and my odd perceptions, so your mention of Ferragamo's quality is very affirming. I do agree!


I have a ten year old ferragamo clutch that looks as new as the day I bought it

I had a stud fall off one of mine too (happened a few years ago on a 2010 bag). Never had issues with hardware on my older Bal bags, though I found the leather to be more delicate.
