One of the reason I like Baggallini is because they are usually light weight. The center front latch on this bag (which actually looks like a big knob) is very heavy and adds a lot of weight to the purse. It's heavy before you put anything into it!  And the two zippers on the front are very rough metal. If you run your finger along the zipper it scrapes your skin.  The top zipper which opens the main compartment is plastic. The manufacturer obviously knew that they couldn't get away with putting the rough scraping zipper up top, yet they used the awful metal zippers on the front. I have another Baggallini with three zippers and all of them are plastic. Am I being paranoid to think that the big metal knob on front (made in China) might have lead in it? Anyway, I am sending mine back...unfortunately I didn't buy it here because it looks like there is free return shipping.  No such luck with my purchase.  Which goes to show how much I dislike the bag that I am going to pay for shipping to send it back.
