Review of Vanessa Bruno bag: leather durable but hardware scratches
I wear this bag a lot and I am not particularly careful when closing it, although I hydrate all of my bag 3x a year using a special leather conditionner haha. So in short : The hardware will scratch (especially the lower part). The patent leather makes it really stain free and I have no damaged corners ! But I do find them a bit too casual for the price, if that makes sense. That's why I got it on vinted, the brand often goes on sale as well :).

General perception of Vanessa Bruno bags: popular and good quality except moon bag
Extremely popular with young, rich Parisians. Excellent quality, though I was not impressed by the quilted leather moon bag (feels very flimsy). Their leather or fabric cabas with small sparkles or metallic studs are a huge hit in Paris.
