I don't own any handbags from this line so my suggestion is to read the reviews on all the handbags, all the styles, from this line. I would focus more on the external quality of the leather and straps. I've had handbags with velour linings (some higher end early BMak) and there was never a problem with those linings.
The bag is beautiful and looks well made. I would take a chance on it. Good luck and let us know.
