My husband purchased the Melissa bag for me for Christmas last year. Before Halloween this year, the grommet on one of the straps broke. That's right, the metal grommet broke in half while I was out. A $400 bag embarrassed me terribly.
I emailed customer service per their 1-year defect warranty as listed on their website. I received a reply that they do not do repairs. I then replied that all I needed was the replacement grommet so that my expensive bag would match and that I would pay to have it repaired. They don't even carry replacement parts for the low-quality things they sell. Now if I want to have the bag repaired, it won't match. Ridiculous for what we paid for it.
I was so disappointed with what was supposed to be a quality brand with a reputation for cost, but for value. This was my first purchase from Frye, and despite the intent to develop a relationship of brand-loyalty, it will be my last.
