I purchased this purse about 2 months ago. It is my 3rd Sharif. I was immediately impressed with the quality of the nylon/satin fabric and, of course, it's uniqueness. However, the jewels are sewn on and within 1 month the thread began to come aloose on several of them. The other day an entire jewel fell off.
Sadly, I will be returning the purse.
Great if you only carry on special ocassions.
