this bag was so beautiful so it was terribly disappointing when the outer seams began to come apart after about a week and a half. it wasnt just one place either. it was in 4 different places. i would have happily even sewn it back together just to save the bag but there wasnt even cloth at the seam to attempt to repair it. with all of the time and work that was put into the details on this bag i would have expected the quality of the construction to at least be sturdy.
