I bought one of B Makowsky's handbags from Q many years ago. 

 

I agree it was great quality.  Even though I liked it, was a tad small and I never used it.

 

Ended up donating and wish I still had it now, even though a bit small.

 

I miss the quality of those years.

I have one B Makowsky left that I still use. It's made so well and not heavy. I bet I have had this for well over 12 years and still looks great. The lining has held up well too.

I remember at one point he was on all the time and had several TSVs.  I had a few of his bags and got rid of them.  Wish I still had them.  However I have to check my closet and I think I might still have one high up on a shelf.

Never owned one of his handbags, but did purchase a pair of his boots ( prob a tsv) The leather was absolutely beautiful but the sole didn't last.

I have one crossbody of his.  Perfect size.  Beautiful red leather.  I use it several times a year.  It's still in great shape, quality leather.

Re: B Makowsky Handbags

Last I saw of him was his bags hanging in a shabby DSW shoe wharehouse?  Ugh!They were not nice at all and looked cheap. Way at the back like rags. All Bruce did was kept squishing his bags to death on air.  I never cared for him.

 

By the way when anything is called "leather" today does not mean 100 percent at all.  It can come from the pig and it's called leather.Woman LOL (only a little percent needs to be in the ingredient.  What a rip off and fools they think we are.

 

Look up 100 percent leather or go to a known brand to find it which we all know and it is not inexpensive.  I don't know quality versus quantity?  I'll take quality, just my choice of course.
