Iāve got various designer bags, from when I was travelling overseas a lot for work and earning good Ā£. Several were bought at outlets at big reductions. I donāt bother so much swapping bags now, but when I used to use them, I thought very carefully first, assessing if I might be in contact with pets, small children, rain, spillages etc etc. I was paranoid theyād get damaged! The couple of bags I have used routinely do need repair, but they are in no way as absolutely TRASHED as that Mulberry bag. Itās possible she bought or was gifted a fake - some are quite good copies visually - as poor quality will show with wear. But any leather can usually take some knocks & bumps, so I canāt imagine why she had to ditch the strap and put an Oliver Bonas one on! She is so spoiled and entitled.
