I didn't even have this for 2 years before the straps started fraying which shouldn't happen with leather but they put some sort of polimer or something on the edges. That is now coming off. I was looking for real leather so I wouldn't have to get another purse anytime soon. Leather should last more that a year and a half. Loved this bag until it started doing that. I also wish the lining could be zipped out to be able to wash.
