Re: I Received My Joy & IMAN Handbag

I received the red bag and thought it was very nice for the price. I consider it a budget-friendly leather bag. Comparing it to the $70-$100 bags out there constructed of man made materials that look like plastic, it's definitely superior. I bought the red, and since I know I won't use it everyday, for the price, it will be an attractive, quality bag that I will use when I need a red accent. The clock wasn't necessary....just a signature medallion in the coordinating hardware would have been fine.

Re: I Received My Joy & IMAN Handbag

After Joy & Imans' last TSV-the quilted bag-which was junk also. So glad I wsn't tempted to buy this one.

Really bad reviews on HSN. Really surprised that Iman would put her name on these bags.

Re: I Received My Joy & IMAN Handbag

I ordered the ivory bag for my mom for Mother's Day. Bad bad move and was I embarrassed. I received it last Saturday the day before Mother's Day. It was the worst purchase I have ever made. First as soon as I opened the box there was a strong chemical smell. I laid it down on the arm of my sofa for a few minutes and that smell stayed on that chair for days after putting it back in the box. Second, the zipper was not sewn in properly,I was wavy right on the top of the bag. There was a crease on each side going down to the bottom from the cardboard that was attached to the very thin and poor leather. The watch was a joke so poorly made. I should have known better since I ordered a few of Iman's pieces and they were junk. Her quality is poor, she gets lots of returns and I don't know why they keep her as a vendor. I certainly don't know how these bags passed quality control. By all the bad reviews Hsn will be swamped with returns. I don't know how joy and Shannon could rave over these bags saying that they would be $200-300 elsewhere. They have got to be kidding I wouldn't want it for free. For you who received good ones, good luck with them but I can't imagine them lasting very long.

Re: I Received My Joy & IMAN Handbag

Joy Mangano specializes in cheap materials from China in order to keep the price down. Sometimes you get less than what you pay for. I don't purchase her stuff now but the few that I have purchased in the past, I have returned. They were junk. The exception would be her readers. But to be fair, she is not the only one hawking junk on a shopping channel.
