Miu Miu Bow - so beautiful, but I don't think it was made to be carried!
The cracking on the sealant!!! I carried it about 10 times and the leather shoulder strap started SPLITTING and I baby my bags! Ridiculous for a near $2k bag!

Better off buying LV :)

I hate to say it, but it was the AW Rocco. I had it in the Cayenne color, which was the perfect shade of true red. But that red was almost too bold of a color for the size, combined with the bubbled leather and all those studs, plus it just didn't go with enough of my wardrobe for me to wear it often.

The darn thing just weighed too much, too - and this is coming from a girl who has and adores an MJ Blake with suede lining. I also had to baby it, as I was petrified of wearing down the piping.

So it just wasn't meant to be. I still think it's a stunning bag, and at times I consider getting another one in a more neutral color, but I still doubt I'd wear it very often...those studs are purty but they are dang heavy!! :p

Mine has got to be my Tory Burch saddle bag. Within days of purchasing it the strap started to come undone at the sides since it is glued and not sewn. I baby my bags and that was unacceptable...then the leather started to look completely distressed the next week! My husband said it looked old and worn and it wasn't even a month old, and I didn't use it daily. Will never buy another Tory Burch leather again for sure! I use it on my 'cow girl' days cos that is how distressed it looks, and without the straps of course.

My Chloe paddington with the lucite lock in butter color . I bought it from Woodbury commons in NY and it cost me 1000 dollars on sale
The lock keeps falling off as it has no key and it will cost me 250 dollars to replace it .The leather looks dirty all the time ....

Regular Mulberry Alexa in Chocolate. Bought it from Harrods in their sale and it was just such poor quality that I sent it back, plus it came with a scratch on the front of the bag. Wasn't worth the £650 I paid for it.

It was my most recent purchase of a mini Alma Vernis in lilac. Within a week, there was transfer, which can't be removed. I did not receive any care instructions and was told to keep the bag away from any possible transfers.

6) Chanel Chain Around Hobo. Was super excited to get this bag, but it was a major disappointment. I just don't like the way it sits on the shoulder and slouches.

7) Coach Ski Bag. This was my first designer bag, so I'm hesitant about selling it. Especially since I paid full price for it, I believe $595 at the time, and only used it once or twice. The rabbit fur and satin are gorgeous on this bag, but it is the second most non-functional bag I can think of! The strap is too short to wear on your shoulder, but yet, wayyy too long to carry on your arm! When you try to put in on your shoulder, it just slips off, cuz the strap is also too wide. It's an odd, square, boxy shape, and if you CAN get it to stay on your shoulder, it sticks out and bangs everything. Despite it's bulkiness, it also hardly fits anything! Major disappointment for my first bag!View attachment 2496697

8) Dolce & Gabbana Inna Tote. No idea why they made this bag. Sold it immediately. No idea what the purpose is of having the zipper through the shoulder straps, but it is dumb!!! View attachment 2496700

9) Gucci Boston Joy in Gunmetal. The foil handles started peeling immediately!!! :(

I have a small gucci Boston joy in metallic brown and the foil peeled like crazy. Gucci wouldn't repair it and now it just sits in my closet. It's so bad I can't even bring myself to sell it.

Miu Miu bow bag. I still use it and still am in love with the design. But the amount of money I paid and the quality of the leather looking haggard and the sealant all cracked and peely, no way. Nope. No way. Money down the drain. :tdown:

I had a D-ring metallic gold hobo and the handle peeled big time. So I took it to my trusted bag spa and they did a great job,it truly looked like a new one. And it didn't cost much as I recall. That was long time ago.

The Marc Jacobs quilt stam, the leather has not held up well over the years and I never use it, I also got the matching quilt wallet and the stitching was fraying in a couple of months.
