Good on you re the bag JulieO. I love a nice handbag.

Me too, I have an "addiction" to Coach handbags and have several in my collection.  From time to time I pass one along to my daughter but have had some for many years.  I still have the first one I bought - in 1974 - and it still looks good.  It has gone back to Coach once for a new brass "foot" on the bottom and to have the leather glazed on the outside to remove some scratches. 

The only one I often carry that is not a Coach is a bright blue Fossil.  The color makes it easy to find if I put it down someplace.

Handbag and wallets were my weakness when i was in my teens, i was a collector for many years
I only have kept a few, i have one bag that in 1976 i paid $495.00
After that it was cook books, and then it was pots and pans, now it’s anything to do with baking

Maddy I saw those pie dishes in Target a while back, they are really nice 😃

I've found I don't bake as much these days just being the 2 of us at home now, so it was easy to resist buying the tin today thank goodness. 😄

I have several handbags that have held up beautifully for three decades or more.  The few times I have purchased "bargain" items, they seldom lasted more than a couple of years.  Pro-rating the cost, the expensive ones have turned out to be real bargains. 
Not to mention that some have become more valuable over time - one Coach bag that was discontinued several years ago is now bringing three times the original price on one of the online sites that sells vintage handbags.
