Small Le City Arena Leather Top Handle Bag

So…I bought this bag in the next size up last year in burgundy. It’s SO fabulous! I expected the same from this one. Unfortunately, something happened to the quality of these bags in the last year. The hardware feels MUCH cheaper. I had the section of the zipper closest to the beginning of the zipper tucked in (because they made them so long on this purse that they look out of place, and it felt like it was going to jam up the teeth or break if I continued on. It feels this way even if not tucked in but potentially damaging when tucked in. Also, the clips on the strap are REALLY cheap and I can tell they will lose their color, get scratched, rust or break in no time. Sadly, I don’t recommend this year’s bags. At this price point, everything needs to be top-notch.
