Bag woes

In October I thought I found the perfect bag on the Anthropologie site. Upon further inspection, it was by Tano. And it was perfect because it was crossbody (keeping my hands free to wrangle children), black but with weathered brass hardware (opposed to overly shiny gold or silver which would have looked tacky), and it had tons of pockets--just outside, four! But it was kind of expensive, so I thought I found the same thing on another site, and bought it. But it was not the same.

The cheaper bag looked cheaper but also came with a duster bag:



But it was not the same bag. Instead of a brown lining, it had bright red!



And it just didn't seem as nice. So then I bought the one from Anthropologie to compare (left is cheaper bag, right is Anthropologie one) and noticed that the Anthropologie bag's rings were thicker and all of them were adjustable (on the other bag, only two of the rings were adjustable, the bottom ones attaching the strap to the bag):



And the Anthropologie one had the nicer lining too (and leather pockets):



but sadly, no duster bag despite the higher price.

But today one of the little grommets (or whatever you call it, it's hardware) fell off and I don't know when it did exactly, but I couldn't find it anywhere even after backtracking.



(The left-hand side is fine, but on the right you can see that it's missing that little weathered brass piece.) And I only carried the bag (and gingerly at that) for one month! So that's spoiled me for expensive-ish bags (I know it's supposedy "affordable" at under $200, but really, I don't normally spend that much on a bag so for me, it was expensive but justifiable since it was an everyday bag that I'd use and thus the cost would amortize). So now my quest for the perfect bag continues.
