I have been buying purses form this place regularly for about 4 years. The purses are gorgeous…read morewithout a doubt. UNFORTUNATELY, One of the first purses I purchased started to come apart.The handle was unraveling. I set it aside and waited until my next trip to Guadalajara... hand carried it to make sure it didn't get more damaged. I took it into the shop and spoke with Octavio who assured me it was an easy fix and even though I had it for a few years they stood by their quality and would have it fixed for me, possibly for a nominal fee. Which I was happy to pay since I do use this purse! I also bought an additional 3 purses on this visit. Fast forward 3 months later, many un-returned emails by me, a few phone calls and a few in person trips by my cousin who lives in Guadalajara. He was given the run around, and just today told the purse was not touched. It will not be fixed an he can pick it up next Saturday. I think if this was going to be the case- from the begining they should have told me so sad too bad... take it somewhere else to get repaired. I am so disappointed.

It's true that the durability is not great - the string that was holding the handle to the bag started to unravel within maybe a year of purchase, but I was able to fix it myself pretty easily with some glue.

If I can't get them to ship me a new one I will get the old one repaired and keep using it until it completely falls apart. This purse is just really special.
