I've been searching for a great black or grey "work horse". A bag I can use almost everyday. This was beautiful leather BUT not what I was looking for. The snakeskin was nice! It was NOT destroyed & curled up from the humidity.That happpens sometimes when a bag is old on clearance.
I also ordered a bag that was from about a year and half ago that was reduced to $99 from $350. It was a black and pewter tote. The quality of leather was excellent but I decided it was too "mettalic" for daily use.
Overall, I'd say the quality of leather in a Falchi bag has been the best HSN offers. I'm hoping the solid black lambskin & Italian leather patent bag I ordered is the "BAGTASTIC" handbag I've been searching for!!!
