A Gucci makeup bag I bought back in 1991. The inside liner flaked off black gook all over my makeup. Every single lipstick, compact or anything else I kept in there was covered with black specks. Horrible.

(It flaked off soon after I bought it - it's not like I used it it for 20+ years and it just started to flake!)
 
My black Botkier Venice Hobo.
It has actually started to come apart. I bought it a while back, but never used it much. (I've realized I prefer cross body's or satchels.) After finding out this is a common occurrence with the Venice Hobos.:cry::crybaby::tdown:
I contact Botkier's customer service and essentially told leave your info and we'll contact you about it. :rant:
 
3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli satchel in taupe. It's going to be my first returned handbag ever. It's not sophisticated and Celine-esque; it's kind of briefcase-like and brown and, well, ugly. Plus the zipper pull just broke as I was packing it up to return.
 
Anything Hermès - love to look at it, just not for me. Plus I really can´t stand Kim K.
Every single messenger I got - always think they are practical, but I hate them banging against my hips/legs...
 
LV multicolore Speedy 30 - I hated how it sagged. I used to have to put a magazine in the bottom of it to give it some structure, which was annoying because random things would slip under the magazine and it would just be a whole thing to fish stuff out. I will probably be bashed and possibly banned, but I haaated it. lol. I got to where I would just put it on a shelf to look at it.

Lol. I bet it to was heavy, too. I wanted one in the worst way until I found out it was heavy w/nothing in it.

It is pretty heavy! I am probably in the minority here, but I really like when a bag is heavy. I'm not really sure why...I think I just feel like it's more durable when it is heavy? Like, maybe it can take being beaten up more if it's heavy? I don't know, but I honestly didn't mind it being heavy!:D
 
A B.Makowsky bag that literally tore [the leather!]after only a few hours of using it. Poorly designed handles.Got nowhere with customer service so there it still sits in my closet as a reminder to NEVER buy another again.
 
Balenciaga - it was alright, the leather was yummy but nothing beyond that. Maybe I took a wrong color but anyhow it has become overrated in my country and carried by 'skanky' looking girls only
Mulberry Roxanne A4 Tote - another ok only bag, in theory it works but somehow it's just lacklusture
 
Dior Gaucho Medium Saddle in Blanc. It was so much more beautiful than the (original) Brown, the Burgundy, and the Black that was about to come out. The colour is so high-maintenance, though. Denim transfer has been a big problem.
 
By far my Chanel cerf tote. When I got it, it was perfect and very structured. After about two months and only using it on weekends, it got SO clouchy. I took it to the Chanel store to ask them if anything could be done because I liked the structured look. They just told me that's the beauty of the bag and how it ages. NO THANKS.
