Is it just me or are handbag zips often rubbish?

I have been looking for a good quality leather bag for a while now but it seems like the zips they use are often those metal ones that rip your nails/scratch your skin. Is it just me?

I have noticed the same awful zips are often used in pretty expensive bags too - bags well above my price range. I'd be happy to pay up to about £150.

The last good bag I bought didn't have a zip, only a flap with magnetic clasp, and sadly it has come to the end of its life after nearly 4 years of constant use (Lamarthe brand, bought overseas).

Can anyone suggest any brands to try please? I'm looking for something large, perhaps a tote, and I love grainy leather.

I like the look of this but guess what, same awful zip!

Are you looking for a bag with no zip or with a plastic zip? I don't think a plastic zip would be robust enough.

This one has a flap. It doesnt say if there is a zip as well as the flap so you'd need to see it in person.
