Patent Lady Dior in light blue - Over the course of 2 years, the color turned to patches of an icky green color and so I gave it away to a friend. Also the zipper was hard to open and close and it was so stiff that it was extremely difficult to get stuff in/out of the bag with scratching my watch.

My oversized Mulberry Alexa in Oak. I love the look of the bag but it is so unpractical! The closure drives my crazy and it lacks the outside pocket which can be found on the PS1, a bag that is similar in style. After using it three times, the clasp of the shoulder strap fell off...A real disappointment for a bag that costs 1350 Euro!

I also had a MJ Hillier Hobo in a gorgeous purple colour. The leather started peeling after only one day so I took it straight back...

I was just dying for the Mulberry Alexa after seeing SJP carrying it in the movie "I Don't Know How She Does It". I mean, I was frantic for it.
Turns out, I like having my cellphone accessible. Why doesn't Mulberry have an outside slip pocket? I don't see an outside pocket on any of Mulberry's bags.....

This is a great thread to peruse before making a purchase! Shocked at the quality of some of these.

For me it might be a Dooney bucket bag I bought back when they were the rage, right after I graduated from high school. I was over it within a year and the canvas was already separating from the coating.

On the other hand, a Burberry I bought shortly after lasted me years, until I threw up in it in a bout of car sickness. =(

I love looking at lady dior and always wondered if this was an issue with the bag. As much as I love the look I rather easy access.

Such a shame about the discolouration! I've loved the Lady Dior for years but will never buy one because of the impractical bag opening.
