Handbag corners are evil

Apart from the aesthetics, the first thing SIA looks for in a bag is the absence of corners. 

A corner wears the fastest when it rubs against your body because it is a sharp area. In contrast, rounded areas don't wear as fast. 

Wear the bag every day and the corners will discolour, thin in their leather and soon after, form a hole. The same applies to bags made of synthetic.

Finally, if a bag (below) is experiencing this much wear, ask yourself, is it me or is it possibly sub standard materials?

Piping is no where near as easy to wear as corners. If the rest of the bag is in terrific condition, this type of wear to the corner piping is a real let down. It's caused from friction with your body. Grab your proof & purchase & go back to the seller. 






In conclusion, there are things to look for in a bag which will cause it to wear better or not so well. Make sure you take these things into consideration based on your priorities.
