Handbags

[Carmie]

@MarnieRez3   The shoes and boots in the sample size 6 were extremely affordable. I used to get them for $10 to $15.

I was told a salesperson would take this size shoe to show the buyers in the high end department stores hoping to get a large order for them.  They apparently had an Overstock of some styles and they ended up in the outlet store. I had some in the signature wine color as well as black.

I have been collecting since Iwas a teen.  Handbags are my poison.

In all honesty, I am very partial to Cole Haan.  I love their leather and always feel the price of their bags are worth it.  

Of course, I collect other bags too...love them all!

@Carmie    Their shoes used to be the best on the market but their quality has gone down.  Have not purchased one of their bags --- ever --- might try one based on your rX.

I don't have any Cole Haan shoes.  I have tried them on and they hurt my feet.  I did buy one of my son's a leather jacket.  Oh my, it is soft and beautiful.

I have bought many different lines of handbags over the years but the one I consider the best is my Coach handbags.  These bags will last an eternity as they are so well made and the leather is to die for.  The hardware is top notch quality. You simply cannot wear one out; not that I ever tried lol.

I discovered Lug about a year ago and I love my bag.  I have two dooneys that I rarely carry due to the thickness and heaviness.  I discovered Anuschka a few years ago and I love them.  Leather is soft and not heavy.  Beautiful colors.

Anushka.  They are truly works of art.

I agree, they are listed as one of my favorites as well.

My favorite line of handbags is by Soprano. They are quality leather with hard wearing straps and quality zippers. I bought mine from The Shopping Channel in Canada years ago though.

Coach....I have almost every vintage style circa 1985.

And all the accessories. 

The Dinky, Willis, Duffle, Bucket, City, Rambler, Watermelon,

large tote and my favorite=Stewardess bag.  

I still carry them today.

I have so many they haven’t really worn out.

Haven't purchased a purse in over 30+yrs.

Kate Spade and Coach. Used to be Dooney, but I can no longer carry anything heavier than 1.5 pounds. I saw a Patricia Nash tote in the latest show that is 4.1lbs. Who can carry that?!

Coach is my favorite handbag line. Their leather is the best. I have bought most of my Coach bags from consignment shops. If the price is right, I will always buy Coach items.

I have several bags also glass cases from the limited edition 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
