I love the looks of the bag and would like to continue using it but it is in need of its third repair. I have carried the bag about 20 times. The screw that held the handle came loose (on both sides). I had it repaired locally, but now a steel rod is poking out of the handle. Where do I get help?

Where are the guts this company used to have? It was a great company, a long time ago. Can they re-create the old magic? Lets see, but I shall say in advance I am not hopeful (due to the development over the last decades of the exponential mark up and megalithic retailers)... So far, it looks nice - but I agree with the comment above with regards to the leather warping. Hopefully, this is the only area which they have "cut costs" OH WAIT - IS THAT A FACTORY IN ITALY FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH CHINESE IMMIGRANTS????? So made in Italy literally means that - it never implies it was made by Italians. Yeah, thought so. Shame about Valextra... Valextra, bring back the elephant skin!

Loses shape due to warping of leather and they consistently have issues with hardware breaking. Not a line I would recommend for the money. The Valextra line does not age well at all.

I find the colors vary according to the piece. Valextra makes fabulous leather goods. I have researched several brands (LV, Goyard, Montblanc, BV & Prada) looking for the ideal padfolio/notepad (conference folder) and found Valextra to have the most elegant and well made for the money ($560US). Though still very pricey, this is an elegant and understated line of leather goods. Too often I find myself chasing a trend b/c I love the design but ultimately regret the purchase due to its lack of simplicity. I believe understated timeless pieces are what many of us return to for that fashionably polished look. Barneys and Saks are great places to find Valextra. Valextra does come in several colors.

I work in the leather industry and had never actually had "hands on" experience of a Valextra piece before so I spent a lot of time looking at the bag. So there you go, they do go on sale I was looking at a couple of Valextra pieces on sale in the Saks Men’s Store in Chicago a couple of weeks ago.

The website is: http://www.valextra.it/maineng.html Every piece can be ordered from either Harrods or the Italian boutique in almost any colour and leather (soft, smooth, grained, etc) you may want, they even do exotic skins such as alligator. The stuff is expensive but it is well worth the money- the leather and the craftsmanship are fantastic, and the zips on their products use the same technology used in NASA spacesuits, and they have pretty innovative products- they are the first to develop an 'overnight' suitcase + the laptop bags are beautiful.
