If you're talking about the 2015 tote bag, that's neither typical nor representative of the fabric quality on aatp dresses.

Think about it for two seconds. It's a random year. They suddenly make a lot of tote bags of their popular prints. They didn't re-release any of the popular prints. Just the tote bag. Not VR, no MND, no Alice Chess re-release. Just a lot of small little printed tote bags. We already know that brands face limitations in printing the fabric, so where on earth do they get the printed fabric from? It doesn't mattter how popular VR or MND is, there's no way they can sell enough of just those tiny little bags and no dresses to meet the minimum order quantity of any fabric supplier.

Answer has to be print-on-demand which is generally surface printed and often lower quality. They might even be ready-made totebags from the same place that does their cheap freebie mook bags. Two seconds of thinking and now you realise you're not really getting a tote bag made from the same fabric as the original print, no way is that happening. You're definitely getting a surface print on a plastic bag, that's why they could release so many different prints at once.

Now, whether you're still unhappy with aatp's quality is another story, but you keep bringing up the tote bag story so I just wanted to set that straight. The 2015 tote bag was definitely made from a totally different material using a totally different process, and seems to be a one-off thing.

So I wouldn't use that tote bag to judge this re-release.
