Ugh, as I mentioned in a Kate Spade thread, my mauve Ostrich-embossed Marryanne Charm City tote. It was a beautiful, rich purple when I bought it. In less than six months, it was more like a pale lavender, the corners were worn away, and it just generally looked like it was old and poorly-maintained. But I took care of it and had only owned it a few months! I also ordered it online from the Kate Spade site, and I wish I had gone to see one in person first because it turned out it was absolutely gigantic on me.
 
The Valentino Histoire in patent. I love love love the beautiful look of the bag, the smell of the patent leather, the braided handles, soft leather inside flap lining, nice hardware but the bag just wasn't functional or practical for me.
 
Bal flap bag. The leather is sooooo thin. I guess I don't like the type of leather. I purchase from Ann's who gave me a great discount. So I ended up keeping it. But still....
 
my foley and corinna black patent tote. it's a long tote with black lining so finding things inside of it is like digging in a black hole. I used it a handful of times and never used it again...
 
This Dooney & Bourke It bag. It turned yellow.

And this Dooney & Bourke I ordered from their website last February. It had a bad chemical odor I couldn't get rid of no matter what I tried. The bag is the Small Handle Drawstring 1975 Signature Splash. I sent it back.

I once had an MBMJ petal to the metal Natasha bag that I used twice and then noticed a seam had bust... By the time I took it back to the store they'd sold out so I never got another.
