Hello!
I actually used to work at Nordstrom in the handbag department.
Francesco Biasia is a great brand and we sold tons of their bags. We
hardly had any returns... The leather holds up very well.

I like this brand a lot. I have a handbag and a fabulously chic umbrella
from the line. The handbag held up well. The umbrella is a different story
(lightweight, and one of the spindles bent when I was thrown into the wall
of the now Forever 21 store by a gust of wind a couple years ago!). The
Biasia brand is carried in my area at dept stores with only limited styles
at so I hit the company's store when there's one around (like Paris).
