Default Questions about Bbags!

I really want to purchase one soon, but I just have a few questions:

1) Is the leather good? I've heard bad things about the current leather they are using (like fading, even breaking). Should I suck it up and buy one now or wait until I hear good things about the leather? (I mean if I'm paying over $1000 for a bag it better be GREAT leather...)

2) I am about 5'8 - 5'9 and I plan to carry this bag quite often (school, work, hanging out) and I'm wondering if the city or work will be good. I really love the city's strap, but the work might be more useful.. I'm not sure

3) Are these bags that delicate? I really plan to use it a lot.


Thank you

The city would be a great bag. So far I only own bbags from the 07 line and the leather is great, no complaints. No these bags are not too delicate, I would just watch the corners as they tend to show the most wear.

I suggest you go for a Bbag if you want one.... they are great! The leather is awesome... so smooshy!!!! You won't regret one... Although you might want to do some research on the sizes .... because the city's are great... but the works arent' tooo big either!!!! You won't regret a Bbag!!!!

I am an ADDICT to BBags!! So, I say go for it!!!!! I am pretty protective of mine but I am anal but I have heard a lot of girls say they don't baby their at all and they hold up well. I've heard some of the stuff you mentioned but I think the problems with quality control is not as bad as we all hear. I'm not saying that it never happens but I don't think it's something you let discourage you from trying one. You'll LOVE it!

I recently purchased my first Bbags. I got a city and a part time. I'm also 5'9, and the city is smaller than I expected. It's not too small, but smaller than I imagined. I prefer the width of the part time. I am also anal about caring for my bags, so I don't have any complaints about the leather. However, one of my tassles did rip the 2nd time I carried the bag.

i don't have the 07 collections but i have some from 02-06 and they're all great, although my faves are the older from 02-04, they are more soft and smooshy


2) I am about 5'8 - 5'9 and I plan to carry this bag quite often (school, work, hanging out) and I'm wondering if the city or work will be good. I really love the city's strap, but the work might be more useful.. I'm not sure
i'm 5'4" and use a weekender o daily basis LOL, but i admit the WE is TOO big to carry to clubs or places where a lot of people stand close to each other, often my WE bumped people, city is more approriate for going out

3) Are these bags that delicate? I really plan to use it a lot.
personally, the more used they are, the more i LOVE them
