Sarah Louise Bryan is a fashion designer from the UK. She is also the mother of a 3-year-old girl, named Isabella. She recently sent Isabella on a playdate to a friend's home and was furious when the child came home with some marks on her new Italian leather shoes. She proceeded to send off an email to the mother of the little friend, that included a bill for $325 to replace the footwear. Have you heard about this?

Here are a few pictures of the damage. There is some Sharpie on the top of one boot, and scuff marks on the bottom. Do you think these damages fall under the category of normal wear and tear for a playdate?
