What I will be carrying in ten years:
Mulberrys - love the style and that Darwin leather should last a life time.
Ellingtons - wonderfully understated and well made.
Hand tooled leather bags - I try to choose only really well sewn bags and well tanned leather.
Fyre bags - ditto most of the above.
What I won't be carrying in ten years:
Marc Jacobs Adina - gorgeous, but dated, and the leather seems tender.
Michael Kors tote - love it, but doubt it will last.
Ralph Lauren satchels and hobos - love them, but doubt they will last.
Maxx NY Horsebit hobo - dated.
American West tote - latter-day production and doubt it will last.
Infamously horrible Via Spiga Hobo - I hate it.
