Believe it or not just three years ago back in 2005 I had two bags. Before that I had a small Coach (my first purse ever) that I'd purchased at the outlet in 2001 but it had gotten too small My two bags were by Ecko. They were totes made in a Gucci style (which I did not realize at the time). One was black and the other was tan. I got the tan one at the Sawgrass Mills outlet in Florida (which I highly recommend) and liked it so much I bought the black on Ebay when I got home. Neither bag cost more than $30. It was made of canvas. I used those bags every single day until I discovered the world of designer bags the next year. When I gave them away, aside from some scratches on the hardware they looked great...and I'm sure a $30 bag is not made of the same quality as the bags I carry now.

For that Boogie to look the way it did I honestly don't want to imagine the things it had to endure.

I cannot believe some of the hardships these bags endure. I feel sorry for them, truly I do. I am constantly seeing bags in unsellable condition on ebay. I really don't know how some of these sellers can even list these items. Check out this Minilisa selling on ebay. I would just donate this bag to good will after lubriderming it.

Oh ... Liz ... your post made me laugh ... I didn't even realize myself that was the same bag this thread was about ... sheesh.....


I'm curious myself on which one of you bid on this bag .... I'm almost tempted to also ... but I don't think I can bare to see her.

I think the owner should give it away for free. What a mess!

Goodness....I suppose it would make a nice project for $20. But I don't have the knowledge or patience to even attempt. I am curious enough though to see how it turns out for someone else.

LMAO!!! The seller probably thinks she has a lot of potential buyers if everyone is "watching" the auction like I am!

Just out of curiousity I submitted a question to the seller regarding the original color. The original color is orange, the inside is purple and "in good condition".
