Manhattan Navy / Orange Briefcase August 11, 2020

Purchased the Manhattan Navy / Orange men's briefcase - and it was beautiful. I loved the bag, and was thinking i was very lucky to have such an aesthetically pleasing bag...

Then after 5 months, the stitching on one end started to come out... This seems to be a result of the provided strap rubbing on the edge of the bag and wearing the stitches out.
The bag is now coming apart, and when i contacted Maverick & Co about their response was "this is outside our 30 day returns policy" - basically a "sorry, deal with it"...
You would think a bag that retails for $500+ AUD would last more than a few months, and design flaws like this would be taken care of... but it isnt.

I then pushed the issue with Maverick & Co, and they offered a 20% discount on any product i wished to purchase, i am presuming to replace the (already inferior quality) bag that i purchased from them initially...
Needless to say, they will not be getting any more of my money... Why would I be interested in giving them more of my money for products that are just not of a quality to last longer than a few months of daily use?

Avoid, unless you don't intend to use the product for longer than a single season...
