Faye Convertible Shoulderbag

I own over 15 Brighton bags, bought over the last 15 years. I love them all and have kept them in safe storage in their original Brighton boxes too.

Though I am not wild about the predominant style of the newer canvas "Love" bags -- I am still always able to find one or two I love when I am ready to buy a new one.

When I saw the Faye Convertible - I knew that would be my new one. Choosing the color was so hard - I ended up buying 2 (as I often have in the past ) - the Chili Pepper and the Mauve. Brighton was sold out of the Mauve online - but I wanted it so badly, I started to call various Brighton stores to see if they had it in stock. They did and the store manager was wonderful. I wanted the Brighton box the purse comes in (I store all my brighton bags in their original boxes) - but they no longer had it. But the manager called around and found one to include with my purse.

And I absolutely love the Faye Convertible shoulderbag. It is a little smaller than I would like - but as my assistant told me -- that's the current style. :-) So I trimmed down what I inlcuded in my purse -- the Faye Shoulderbag still holds a lot. I wore the Chili Pepper this past winter and spring and just switched to the Mauve for the summer.

One complaint that I have is that the Phone pouch is just a tiny bit too small to fit my phone in, so I have to carry my phone standing upin the pouch -- which makes me a little nervous it will fall out some day. Cell phones are getting bigger and bigger and…

My husband bought me this purse for Christmas. I loved it and started using it a few weeks after Christmas. Unfortunately the buckle broke on my purse as well. I had only used the purse a handful of times before this happened. I wanted the Brighton store to allow me to exchange it for a different design considering the buckle broke within a few weeks of use. My only option was to have it sent for repair which will take 6 weeks. Horrible customer relations. Will never buy another overly priced, poor workmanship Brighton purse ever again.
