@Nonametoday,

A black caviar leather yellow gold Chanel medallion hand bag that my mother gave a few years ago. I think that is beautiful and it reminds me of her every time I wear it.🌻

@CHIP62  If that were mine, it would also be my favorite. Nothing can ever take its place.

So many great bags.  I am just amazed at how many chose Dooney bags.  I like my D&Bs also but always thought maybe Frye or Coach would be the winners.  Let's keep going.

I bought a gorgeous Marino Orlandi Croco satchel at TJ Maxx and it is still my favorite bag. It is showing signs of wear, but I still love it.

Re: What is your very favorite that you have ever owned...

It's a tie. I had a mailbag in beautiful, soft suede that I bought in 1972 in Georgetown, MD in a boutique. It was hideously expensive for me at the time, but I wanted it so bad, and I cherished it for years until it just wore out. I have never had a bag I loved more than that until.............my first Dooney. I now have a lot of Dooneys and a Coach, but I have a soft spot for my first one:  A French blue zip zip. It's my current favorite.

Can’t name one. They are like my children, I love them all the same (wink, wink).

I would like to keep this going if others would care to confess.  I wish we had pictures of all the handbags through the years that we loved the most. 

 

I pulled an old Liz Claiborne handbag off the shelf today from the 1990s, I think.  I never used it much although it was a really good bag, solid oiled leather.  Every time I went into a store, an alarm went off and the bag was inspected, so after about 2 months of that, I put it in storage.

 

Today I pulled it out (I now know what makes that alarm and I removed the bothersome object which made people feel I was a shoplifter).  It is a really neat bag.  It looks almost brand new.  I looks as good as some of the high-priced bags on the market. 

 

I took it out for a drive today, picked up a friend who asked where I got it.  I told her I was shopping in the closet.  She commented that it looked very vintagey.  I agree.  I think I will put it back in cold storage or maybe EBay.

Probably the favorite bag or bags I have loved the most have been a Stone Mountain shoulder bag in supple leather (before they cheapened the leather they make now for their bags) and a bag I still own that I bought in the 1990s - an Italian brand named Polini. I still have that Polini and sometimes use it but it is way too big for me now. However, I have it sitting on the shelf in the closet and I still admire the leather and the design of this vintage bag.
