I purchased this bag brand new (not from Amazon) and began using it June 6 2015. Here it is August 22 2015 and this bag is barely usable anymore. Every week something different would fall apart on it. First the these little rubber seams on the handles started peeling off. Then the stitching that holds the handles onto the bag started to rip and loosen. Then the strings of faux pearls on the front of the bag snapped and fell all over my car. Then the two ribbons on the front mysteriously fell off one day and I didn't notice until I got home. I'm disappointed because I really loved this bag and it got me a lot of compliments. I don't even trust purchasing anymore Banned purses for fear that they're all made as poorly as this one was. Oh and the zipper is very weirdly placed, it's difficult to zip the purse closed so rarely ever did.
