Granted, not every style of bag will appeal to all people. I have been a handbag collector for 25 years with my first designer handbag purchase being a Fendi in 1985. I have owned almost every well known designer with the exception of LV because I personally find them unappealing. And I feel that Treesje bags are the best quality bags you will find in the price range by far. I’ve never needed a single repair, the leather is the quality you normally only find in the $1k and up price range. The hardware and craftsmanship as well. In response to the comments about the leather staining, I have yet to see a soft leather light colored handbag in this price range that didn’t have issues in this area. It is near impossible for a handbag to have a certain type of leather and not stain under certain conditions. To avoid that, you should probably choose highly treated leather as you would find in a more structured bag as they are more stain resistant. But if you like the look of a slouchy or soft leather bag in a light color, you will be hard pressed to find one that will not stain and still have all the characteristics of the type of leather that Treesje is known for. I know very well because I’ve had numerous light colored soft colored bags stained over the years after only a couple of uses. Todays’s jeans and light colored bags do not make a good pairing unfortunately. Less expensive bags tend to hold up to stains better also. It just seems the more I pay for a bag the more sensitive it is. I just think its unfair to blame the company. I have yet to find a company that will replace a stained bag. I have owned over 20 Treesje bags and have been happy with the quality and get more compliments on my Treesje bags than any other. I will continue to be a loyal customer.

I spent my hard earned money on a Treesje bag (the Hudson Hobo) in a pretty yellow color. The leather is way too delicate. I had the leather treated, carried the bag a handful of times and it is filthy. Too dirty to carry. A professional cleaner says that it is stained for good. And the leather (albeit seemingly good quality) is so heavy that it pulls the bag down, stretching the handle. Gorgeous bag, completely wrong choice in non-durable materials. I’ve been extremely disappointed, even MORE disappointed when I tried to seek help from the Treesje company themselves. Needless to say, it’s been a bad customer experience and they won’t help me out with my situation at all. I won’t buy their products ever again!

I am not sure that I totally understand the problem you ladies have with bags being made in China. You should really ask more questions before you jump to conclusions that they will be “poorly made” or “slave labor”. There are some very well known factories and craftsmen in China. Its really too bad that some factories being run poorly and being inhumane have made people expect this from a country as a whole.

Rebecca Minkoff is starting to have some of her bags made in China. I saw the MAB in quilted patent at the store the other day and the tag read “Made in China”. Needless to say, I was highly disappointed. It’s so sad that manufacturing and textiles is a lost business in the USA. I guess US businesses want cheap slave labor to make their products.

The bags are gorgeous! I would not buy them since they are made in China though. Thanks for the great interview and letting consumers know.

The treesje bags are beautiful, the comment about the bags being for the 25-50 year old range, I’m 53 so is she saying I’m too old for her style of handbags(that wouldn’t stop me though)? It does bother me that their made in China, Rebecca Minkoff handbags are made in NY and they’re in the same price range.

So sorry Julie,but I can´t imagine myself with any of these. IMO they are too baggy and as I´ve written before, I prefer the ones that have more structure, ones which make some statement. Btw,I don´t have many bags. Less is more to me.
