I just got my first Foley and Corinna bag- a purple Moto Hobo on ebay.
Having never seen one before, I was a little disappointed with the quality when I first saw it. The bag is very light (not necessarily a bad thing), the leather is not soft but it's on the 'weathered side' so maybe that's what its supposed to look like? BUT, the lining looks and feels SO cheap! For those of you who own a Foley and Corinna bag, what is your opinion of the quality, esp. the lining? I talked to someone at the F&C store in NYC and she informed me the lining is a lighter weight black cotton but I don't know...it just seems less than exciting for the price. I own other bags (Kooba, Botkier which have a stronger canvas lining) in similar price ranges and the lining is far 'heartier' and overall, way better made. I worry that I got ripped off but I have not heard of any F&C fakes out there.
The bag said it was new with tags (had 1 tag inside) and I can't return it so I'm gonna live with it...but for my own curiosity, I'd love to hear if you own a Foley and Corinna bag and what you think of the structure and the lining, etc... All I can say is that if I saw this purse in the store for the retail price of $450 I would put it right back down! I've heard such great things about this line too....so....I'm confused!
I included several pics that the seller provided...the bag looks WAY nicer in the pics then it does in person...the color is way lighter, faded, etc...
Thanks!!!
