So far I have no complaints about the leather of my 3 bags. I treat my bags like pets, accepting their minor flaws and look upon those flaws as one of a kind uniqueness that add personlities and character to the bags.
Or perhaps, my expectations aren't high.
hey girl i just read of your bag's flaw: round "peels" on the strap, is it? you didn't state this at the start. could this be why it was returned?
i don't expect alot either. if i were near a shop that sells at retail and not higher, i'm sure i'd expect more. this goes w/o saying, eh?
