A black leather Michael Kors tote bag. From Macy's, I think I spent about 230 bucks for it. Within the first week, it had these weird whitish streaks on it, and I realized the black dye was coming out of the leather. Took it back and the Michael Kors vendor at Macy's gave me a refund -- she said it was awful and should not have happened. Didn't even debate with me, it was obvious there was a problem!

A Mulberry bag. The quality is so poor that it looked aged (not in a good way) as soon as I started using it. The bag was also made in China, which is a little shocking for a 'premium' designer. As much as I like the style of Mulberry bags, I won't buy one again.

More than one, unfortunately

Chloe Paddington, because the shoulder pad thingies just wouldn't stay in one place and the weight drove me mad.
Fendi Spy. Appalling quality. Just dreadful.
And as much as I loved my Bal Violet City, the colour faded out into a streaky mess within a couple of months.

For really good quality, I don't think anyone can beat Anya Hindmarch. Beautifully made and practical too.

I would say a YSL Muse bag that I bought back when they were really popular (I think 2006?). The handle started peeling after not a ton of use, and I think the brown dye from the leather started coming off on my clothes!

A few for me:
- Gucci abbey small bag with tan leather - it's way too small to be practical really, bought it when it was on sale and probably shouldn't have bothered
- Longchamp brown small shoulder bag - too small to be practical and have never used it
- Burberry check small shoulder bag - same as above
- Louis Vuitton damier azur pochette - same as above
- Burberry black small shoulder bag - same as above

I bought them to wear as more for going out bags then decided I liked clutches more for this purpose! Such a waste!

A Mulberry Somerset Tote in Oak. I fell in love with it online but when I went to buy, I was a little disappointed in the leather and it just felt so flimsy for a Mulberry. But I figured I'd fallen in love with the look of it, so I still bought it and expected it to grow on me. By the time I'd got home an hour later I knew I'd made a mistake and I returned it the next day.

It seems quite a few are disappointed with the latest Mulberry bags. The quality just isn't there anymore and I can't see myself owning any now, to be honest.

I have a Balenciaga Giant City - incredible quality and I love it more each day - and a MBMJ Baby Aidan and the quality of that is awesome considering it's much cheaper than most Mulberry's!

The Tory Burch City Tote bag. Easily the worst bag experience I've had. I'd have to agree with CleverCat...Anya Hindmarch makes a wonderful product! To this day I wonder why I even went with Tory Burch...

small nylon Prada bag. I bought it from overstock and it come with stain. I did not bother returning it hoping I could clean it easily. I almost did. Ended up giving it to a friend. Such a waste.

My biggest disappointment was the black Michael Kors Darrington bag that I purchased this summer at the MK store. Salesman said it was a "collection" bag originally $895, on sale for $447.50. Since I've never owned one from his "collection", just the MICHAEL Michael Kors bags I thought I was getting something special. I took it out of it's dust cover today to wear since it's now end of summer and time for a new bag. After looking at it more closely the leather does not even feel genuine..........I kept looking at it and definitely not as luscious as I would like for that price point. I called the store and they are happy to let me exchange it for a different bag. I will go back to the MICHAEL line and not be swayed into something just because it's a "couture" or "collection" piece without looking at it objectively.
