Nicole Lee 'Iku In Love' Faux Leather Hobo Bag

I thought this purse looked great online--functional and quirky, but what a disappointment. When I received it, the first thing I noticed was that the fabric made to make the corset lacing was of such low quality that had it been unrolled it would have been see-through. Well, I guess it was in a way, I could see the flowers on the other side straight through the white parts of the fabric. Actually, my first impression was that the color was extremely disappointing. It was no the bright yellow I expected, but more of a dull mustard. I considered sending it back right away (and wish I had). Within a couple of weeks, the brown stitched accent came loose on one side and was just onviously "wrong" and disfiguring. Unfortunately itwas right in the middle of the front of the bag, so it wasn't as if I could just ignore it. Since then, color has flaked off the brown accents, the corset bow won't stay tied, and strings from the fabric accents are fraying out. I am not rough on my bags. I have taken very good care of it, and when the first malfunction was the trim coming loose, I was mortified. I am really not being melodramatic. This was a horrible purchase, and I will never purchase this brand again.
