Graces-bags

I ordered a Grace's Bag, whose website showed a lovely woman in her workshop crafting leather bags. I received from China a synthetic bag stamped inside with XIDIBAOLUO (with Chinese characters underneath) The front plate, where on the website, Grace's Bags appears, has the same. Grace's, if she exists, had nothing to do with this junk.

I was very much looking forward to receiving my leather backpack from Grace-Bags. The website looked relatively legitimate and, even though I wasn't naive enough to think one person made all the bags, I hoped they would be well made. When I received what was supposed to be a genuine leather bag, it was in fact fake leather (PU leather). When I wrote to the company, I was told that they were aware it was faux leather and they felt that this was an excellent material. Fair enough, but I was lead to believe that I was getting a "going out of business" sale price for a leather bag - not too cheap but within the realm of possibility as far as real leather bags go. Faux leather bags? Much, much too expensive. After much to-ing and fro-ing, I ended up with a 30% discount. It would have cost more than this for me to return the bag, as it would have had to be shipped to China where they are manufactured. (This in itself is not a problem, but it was never made clear.) Total, 100% shameless scam.

As stated by others, vinyl bags, smell like chemicals. Then when you try to return them, they tell you how expensive that will be, and start offering a discount. 20% 40%.
TO NOT BUY FROM THEM

THIS IS THE WORST QUALITY BAG I'VE EVER SEEN. I DON'T THINK THERE IS A SPEC OF LEATHER ON IT. IT'S SUPER THIN AND SUPER CHEAP QUALITY! The add is so deceiving, it is truly a scam! The inside lining is not even as big as the outside of the bag. DON'T EVER BUY A BAG FROM THEM! YOU CAN GET BETTER QUALITY FOR MUCH LESS AT OTHER PLACES. It was so overpriced. It's not worth $15. And we missed the return time since we bought it for a gift, they have a 14 day return policy and I've heard they aren't good at returns either.

If you look up Grace Bags, it shows an older woman, that is closing her business after 34 years. She is giving great deals on beautiful leather bags! Beautiful. Trouble is, these bags are NOT leather. The company allows you to get confused with Grace Designs (a company out of Vancouver, WA). It is not the same company. All the bags ship directly from China, and are NOT real leather. I ordered one of these bags (I am embarrassed to admit). But, I noticed, when the shipping information came it showed "YUNEXPRESS". Obviously, not a local shipper. I wrote the company twice, and asked them to cancel, once I read all reviews online. NONE of them were positive, and all of them said the same thing. Not real, leather. Cheaply made, and out of China. I did further research, and yep. Same as the other companies. The 1st response to my email, was they were 'sorry', but the (fake) purse was already being processed. I could see the shipping process, and that was not true. I wrote another email, advising that I was putting a stop on my credit card, and told them I know there is no Grace, and that they were out of China. I also said I would give them a review on SiteJabber. I immediately got a response saying they had refunded me. What does it take for these foreign entities to stop the scams? I guess it takes people to stop buying. Shame on me. Shame on them for being so deceitful. Buyer beware. Research this company. And, don't confuse it with Grace Designs. Tch, tch. And, don't take it when they refuse to refund it. Just saying. So annoying. Don't buy Chinese.

It's vinyl not leather, poorly sewn. Waste of my money. Customer service is nonexistent. They have never responded after several emails. Absolute trash. Definitely a China scam that I fell for.

Good ole Chinese plastic wares with advertisement for leather bags. Junk do not buy. Won't give money back. Ask bank for fraud charge back!

Website says handmade, leather, and lifetime warranty. COMES FROM CHINA, CHEAP VINYL, MISSING POCKETS, CHEAP STRAP. DO NOT BUY FTOM THIS FRAUDULENT CHINESE COMPANY.

This is a SCAM the bags are not made of leather! The fastenings are poor quality. AVOID to save disappointment!
