Looking for an Old Style Ribbon Tote with a Zipper?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers around the old style ribbon tote with a zipper, which many users express dissatisfaction with due to issues like the zipper ripping out and poor construction quality, particularly in the Merrill version. Users have reported contacting Merrill for a replacement, which is a newer model without the zipper and is priced lower than the older version. There are two versions of the old ribbon tote: one from AIM and one from Merrill, with the latter noted for its inferior quality and problematic linings. Opinions vary on aesthetic preferences, with some feeling the new Merrill tote's large logo detracts from its appeal compared to the subtler design of the old style. Additionally, there's a mention of using the old tote as a purse, highlighting its functionality despite the zipper issue.

Anyone have the old style ribbon tote (with the zipper) they are willing to part with?

Thought I'd ask again.
 
I have heard and it happened to me to that people are not happy with it. The zipper rips out and a lot of people have been calling Merrill and getting the new one that does not have the zipper. It is actually cheaper than the old one.
 
There are 2 old style ribbon totes, one from AIM, and one from Merrill. Both had zippers and linings, but the Merrill one was not as well made, and the linings come out. IMO, the new one from Merrill isn't anywhere near as cute as the old one, because of the big logo on the side (not that the logo is bad, I just like that the old style is a more subtle thing).

I like the old style Merril tote too. I want to use it as a purse so that's why I wanted a zipper. I wish we had more choices for vendors.
 
Funny thing is I have the old merill tote with zipper and I use it as a purse and I never zipper it! LOL. I dont know why!? I have switched back to my catalog purse. I am not sure if I want to sell it but if I do Iwill get back to you.
