Let's grieve and move on....:smile:

Ok, my very first Coach. British Tan small duffle sac. I left it at home when I moved out and my sister got hold of it. Ink spots and horribly damaged.

Then the burgundy bag which I cleaned too much and faded the color.

Finally my black Janice Legacy (oh, it still smarts). The one and only purse my ex-husband bought me. I left it in my car unattended to drop off my DD. I must have forgot to lock the door because three minutes and it was stolen. I had a really nice Dooney IT wraparound wallet in it, my favorite cell phone and several MAC lipglasses/pencils. I still miss that bag....

My biggest purse disaster... hmm. I'd just bought an LV Speedy 25 in white murakami which I'd saved up for for months, and I went to the bar with it. I got in an argument with my best friend's significant other, who I had found out was cheating on her. When I threatened to tell her, he poured his green apple martini into -- I mean LITERALLY INTO-- my Louis Vuitton and completely ruined the inside of it.

...I got him kicked out of the bar by a bartender who said if he'd done that to her LV she'd have killed him. But still. I CRIED.

What a great friend you were...not only to stand up for your friend but to sacrifice your Murakami in the process.

I would have cried, too.

My husband bought me a pink Coach signature & pink suede bag + matching Hat and wallet at Coach Hawaii on our Honeymoon. It was the first suede item I had ever owned. I had tons of other Coach purses. I used it proudly every day for a month once it arrived and then I noticed that the suede bottom and corners were just BLACK, completely ruined.

I'll never buy a suede purse again. And my husband says he'll never buy me a purse again.

I loved that purse to death.

I had a Brighton bag that I purchased in Dallas well over 13 years ago, and I loved that bag. It had a very long shoulder strap, but I still loved it, even though I had every intention to shorten it to fit me. Well, I was driving home from work, and I threw the bag in the back seat of the car like I usually did, and took off for home. When I got home I discovered that the shoulder strap had been caught in the car door for the entire trip home.....through slushy wet snow, and a dirt road for extra measure. Well, it was ruined beyond repair. I was furious at the time and I mourned over that bag for quite a while.

I have a pink Coach signature with suedue corners, and I have noticed that they get pretty dirty. I also own a light blue Celine suede wallet that shows a lot of dirt after a couple of months of use. I use both a suede eraser as well as Applegarde sueder cleaner. I can't say they are looking like new, but they are doing pretty well.

I would like to add that any suede purse that I owned was a disaster within itself because it was like a dirt magnet, and I could never carry one next to denim....no way. This is a fun forum. :yes: :yes:

I would never buy a suede purse again. Bought a caramel suede Ghurka and looked shiny and streaked with dirt within a week. Bought it because it cost $99 at the Ghurkha outlet in Woodbury Common. Never again will price seduce me.
As far as purchasing errors, I don't love my MJ Faridah -- just too lunky. My Mulberry Rosemary is on the small bag, but nice for a "ladies who lunch" bag.
