Hardware quality concern from in-person viewing
I had a similar JW Anderson bag bookmarked for a while but then I saw it in person at the Galeries Lafayette and honestly the chain felt very insubstantial. I'm not even sure it was metal? It felt kind of cheap and since the chain was most of the draw for me I passed. But it is really pretty.
