I was given a gift of a Stone & Co Leather purse a year ago. The purse was really nice and I enjoyed using it. Within a year, the strap split and the leather connections attaching the strap to the purse frayed very badly. I am not rough on my purses. I took it to get repaired and turns out the strap and connections were vinyl!! What part of the purse suffers the most wear and tear? The strap and it's connections. Stone & Co advertises their purses as ALL LEATHER - completely false advertisement! I hope everyone boycotts them.
