I purchased all 3 colors. The Orchid, Gold & the Black Sharif Legacy Bedazzled Guitar Strap Leather Crossbody Bag item #901-522. I absolutely LOVE them all. Unfortunately, I am experiencing something strange. The color is wearing off on both the gold and the orchid. I haven’t even used the black yet. I’m too afraid to. The bags are in NY, (not humid). I am super gentle & careful. I never put them on the floor. It’s like the color is just disappearing from spots, leaving a look of worn off. This ALL after only 5 or 6 gentle uses. My daughter is having the exact same problem with these exact pocketbook, the GOLD & the Orichid too. She got hers before thanksgiving though. But still in less than 2 months ! I hate to return them, as I love them ! Anyone else having this problem ? Any input from Sharif designs or HSN ?
