This is beautiful and impractical

This luggage looks great. But this is the second of the 3 pieces I bought that I have replaced in only one year. I do travel frequently, but even so, I have never seen luggage self destruct like this set. I bought the cream color--beware. It gets filthy immediately. And it is so fragile. THe little rope decoration is falling off the piece that I am replacing now. The leather corners are very scratched and look shabby. and there are multiple dings and scratches and places that cannot be cleaned. I am done replacing pieces, I am going to buy another set of luggage when the next piece disintegrates.. This was a very expensive mistake.
