Hey Everyone!!!

I just wanted to know what you think of Kathy Van Zeeland?

Do you have any bags by her?
Is the quality good for the cost?

Whats your opinion in general?

Thanks

I don't own any of her bags, but I do know that they are not a good value for what they cost. They are only about $69-$99 regular price, but I work at a department store that carries them and we get nothing but complaints about them. The zippers break easily and the lining rips out. Lots of people have returned them after only a month complaining that they are crappy. If you want one, I would suggest picking one up that's on sale... that way you'll pay somewhere closer to what they are actually worth.
I personally don't like the style of her bags... a bit too gawdy for my taste. Sorry... I don't mean to offend anyone. Some people like that kind of stuff and that's fine. Just not for me...

In my experience I have only a good review. I've only had one.. a kathy van zeeland emerald green croc-print tote my freshman year of college. I used it so much and it never showed any wear. And it fit everything too - one side would be my laptop then on the other side of the zip divider I put all of my notebooks. The zipper never broke on mine and the lining never ripped... i say for the low price range its worth every penny.

Also what was wierd was I purchased it for like $120 and it resold on ebay for $150! After a years-use of wear.....wierd-ddd

Wow Jennifer! How long ago was this?
I swear... I take complaints about those bags on a pretty regular basis. Perhaps they switched where they are made???
