My wife put one in her purse about 10 years ago. Since then, I’m sure we have removed five or six of these bars. It seems to be a permanent purse fixture, eternally at the bottom of the bag.
I'm more impressed by her having the same purse for a decade+
If you treat leather with respect and care it can hold a lifetime. My leather jacket easily nears the 10 year mark too with thr only damage being near the sleeves.
To be fair she spends shy of $1000 on a bag, but they hold up to abuse and seem to be nearly indestructible. I doubt she’ll need more than one or two further in this lifetime.
