Beautiful bag, but handles fall apart

I loved this bag so much and had bought it before directly from R Minkoffs store years ago.  After two months use, however, the handles began to shred.  This never happened with my old bag, and I have to assume the quality of the construction has gone down over the years, which is really unfortunate

The tote is beautiful and I receive lots of compliments on it. However, I'm disappointed because I've had it just over 1 month and the lining in the handles are coming off. I expected it to last longer than 1 month, especially being a genuine Coach bag and the price I paid.

It is very good looking bag - I do get compliments for that, but I am not finding it to be that functional and worse part is one of the shoulder strap stich is coming apart.

This bag is beautiful, but considering the handle broke before I even removed it from the Amazon box, that's indicative of the low quality of this product.  It's a shame; I so wanted to start carrying it immediately.

This bag was given to me as a Christmas gift. My husband is bad at picking gifts and I picked this bag after hours of searching Amazon for the perfect "big leather purse with pockets". I loved it at first and am so disappointed that it's broken already. It is very roomy and has different compartments. I love that it has a zipper, which is hard to find in big purses, and a pocket on the outside big enough for a phone. However, the straps are very thin and one of them broke already. I did have a lot of stuff in it, but I don't think it was overpacked. The bag itself is awesome, but they definitely need to put better strap on it.

The bag is stylish and the price was amazing. Unfortunately, after almost exactly 2 months of use, one of the rivets securing a handle strap popped loose and I cannot use the handbag anymore. This is poor quality; I've never had a handbag cheap or expensive break so quickly. It is a shame because the bag has many nice details such as metal feet, zipper and buckle accents, and nice looking material.

The handbag is lovely but the handle detaches and is difficult to fix. In fact, I haven't figured out if it can be fixed. The shoulder strap is a chain as you can see. It does catch on clothing and is rather delicate for a handbag so heavy. The handbag is best used as a clutch. It is as pretty as depicted.

Handles are cheaply made - I bought this bag in black and navy and both sets of handles are fraying and the "leather" is torn apart after only having them for a year. I would give the bags 5 stars if it weren't for the handles but that is very important...

I was very happy with this bag until the handle broke about five minutes after I picked it up. The front flaps are mostly decorative; they actually have fasteners underneath the buckles. These fasteners don't work well, and they aren't fastened to the straps very well either. Both came off within two weeks.

I usually carry my netbook and 2-3 books in this bag, and while it looks professional, it has not held up to daily use. I've had this bag for only three months and the shoulder strap has completely come off.

Love the look of this bag, and for the price, it will work well for light use. If this is going to be your daily bag, however, get something else.

This bag is adorable - however the strap that is attached to the body of the bag has become detached at the seams. It's a bit of a disappointment!

I love the style of this bag, including the mat holder on the side.  But the handles are very poorly made / sewn.  One ripped the fist time I used the bad, and the other is almost ready to go after about 10 uses.  Would NOT buy again.

I like the purse, but after a few weeks the handles started fallinf apart - like it was cheaply made.

This is an awesome bag, I find the design fantastic. The length and width of the handles and the way the bag folds when its no too full makes it great to use it at half capacity and use the handles on a shoulder. Sadly I had the same experience as another buyer, after a few airplane trips the bottom got a hole just from fraying. Y was carrying a rod tube in the bag, one covered in cordura, nothing too heavy or too tight, and it just made a hole in the bottom of the bag out of simple friction, it seems. It's sad because I love the bag, but this should not happen, I carry the same gear in far cheaper  duffel bags without ever having such a problem.

I love this bag and it's incredibly awesome my only problem is that the handles are stitched to the inside of the bag so you can't zip it closed without zipping in the handles. Which makes it difficult to use unless you put it inside something else.

MI received this purse a year ago for Christmas.  It is beautiful.  I used it daily for 6 months.  The handles are starting to become frayed along the edges.  I'm so disappointed. For such a sturdy and attractive purse, it's a shame the handles weren't made with better material.

Really loved this bag, but it is about to fall apart after about two years of use. The strap is about rip out of the joint unfortunately.

I was hoping for something that I could get a few more years out of, but maybe that was an unreasonable expectation.

I bought this bag thinking that it would be perfect for carrying all of the things I need as I go about my day from my water bottle to file folders, wallet, makeup--you know--the essentials!  :)

This bag looked good and I received many compliments on it.  However, after about a month the rings that hold the handles in place separated from the bag allowing the handles to come loose rendering the bag useless.

If you get this bag, don't plan on filling it with your essentials.  Just fill it with light weight items if you wish to have it for the long run.

Would definitely be cute for a diaper bag as well, but won't take the weight of too many diapers, diaper wipes or bottles.
