On the other hand, I can definitely fault the JV leathergoods quality. I don't know where that $1500 went to.
I would call JV expensive and not worth it.
I prefer expensive + worth it like SAB, Valextra, Delvaux, Papworth, Filson, etc. Even look at Ralph Lauren leathergoods from recent years, real top notch.

Leaving personal preference re looks aside (as reasonable minds can differ) what makes you question the quality if the JV leather goods, and whether they are worth the expense (also leaving aside the question of whether a bag us EVER worth that amount of money)? That was my initial query - the view of those here that have experience with JV bags on the quality thereof.
