Tignanello

I love the Tignanello satchel they are showing today. I have never owned a Tignanello bag. Would you please tell me, if you have owned one or more, about the quality. Thank you in advance. $150 might not seem a lot to pay for some, but it is for me and I would prefer not spending foolishly if the quality is not there.

@Nonametoday Tignanello handbags are not all leather.The straps & the bottoms are faux.As a result in my experience the bags didn’t wear well.The straps fade & crack over time.I would not spend that kind of money for a bag that likely wouldn’t last more than one season.

Note when the description says man made trim they are referring to the straps & the bottom.Only the body of the bag is leather!

if you have a TJ Maxx or Marshalls nearby check out their handbag section. I often see Tig bags there.

I have several and love Tignanello bags. Also have two $300 D&B that are in the closet - brand new - not being used because they are too darn heavy and big. T wear very well unless you abuse them - - I don't like hanging do-dads - stiff cardboard construction. For the money - if you find one you love - you won't go wrong. Leather vs fake = who cares if you're comfortable carrying it.

I just ordered two from a company I'd never heard of. The price is right for as little as I use it. The leather two I have, are so heavy to carry around, and truth be told, I need to look at something that's not flowery from Vera Bradley. I needed a break. Got two cute ones. I can't even think of the name of them now!! LOL. But what I started out after was a Tignanello. I had a white and tan one years ago that I loved and just plain wore it out. It's no longer available I see and I saw a cute blue one A292875 but then went to Amazon in case it was there (Husband asked). It wasn't but I always liked these purses.

Thank you all for your responses. I think I might pass on it for now and watch for the reviews.

@Nonametoday For the same price, you can do better. Tig isn't what it used to be though it is a pretty satchel.

Thanks a bunch. I love the look of the bag. I think it is inspired by the Chloe See bag which, of course, I cannot afford and I do love handbags. I have probably bought too many lately but I like for them to last so I can swap them out here and there and according to what I wear.

@Nonametoday

@Nonametoday I do like the look of the bag. Keep an eye out elsewhere and on 'as is', perhaps. If you don't have a strong color preference, wait and perhaps it'll go on some sort of special... I'll tell you, that twelve bucks to ship just adds insult to injury...

A very attractive bag; I did see other images of it on the Tignanello web site.

I went to click on the shop Tignanello button and it led me to QVC.

Apparently, Macy's no longer carries Tig bags. They did for years. If you didn't get this bag from QVC, I don't know where you would get it. Ebags no longer carries them. Marshalls? T J Maxx? Just don't know.

You probably will have to wait for an As Is. I think that $150 plus tax and ship is too much for a bag that has a mix of faux and real leather.

I purchased a lot of Tignanello bags several years ago and found the quality really good but I do not wear them anymore. They just don't seem to 'fit' my style anymore.

I wonder if both oryany and Tig have essentially become QVC 'house brands'. Both of their websites lead to QVC in order to 'shop'. Tig was part of the Van Zeeland brand, along with B Makowski that was sold to the Fung conglomerate a number of years ago, so the brand, as it once was, has pretty much ceased to exist. I do see them occasionally at TJX stores. For a lower price, 'as is' is probably the best bet.

HI,

I have MANY Tignanello handbags. However, the one I have purchased recently--last two years are horrible. I purchased one style that had goldtone chains on the front in dive gray, in a mauve and a dark blue. Loved the style and size. I put them in my closet until I need them. As I opened the first one in the spring I notice the handle had the mauve color peeling off the handle. If I lightly rubbed it it would come off. The dove gray and blue are the same. I have never had this happen before-it was like a cheap pvc not leather. I contacted the company and no one would do anything.

I personally think the quality have down hill severly and will never purchase another. I paid $169 for each handbag and they went in the garbage.

Hope this helps!!!!

In two of my Tig bags, the linings ripped. I found them kind of clunky and very heavy.

The last time I purchased a Tig bag, the front and back were leather but the sides were not so they were a different shade. It was really noticeable so I sent it back and refused to buy any more.

I agree that $150 is too much to spend for a bag that is part faux leather; it won't last.

I bought a couple of Tignanello purses a few years ago and will not purchase more. Be advised that Tignanello seals the edge of the leather straps with a plastic of some kind. On both of the purses I bought that plastic cracked badly on every strap. No more Tignanello's for me.

@Nonametoday Just a heads-up; that bag is going to be a Primetime Special tonight. $85.
