What a good and thought-provoking question!
I love bags, they are my favorite accessory. (I don't count shoes as an accessory). But what I love about bags, the reason I love them, is that I love to think of different outfits that each bag will look great with.
And I love textile arts, I am an embroidery fanatic, so my favorite bags are my one of a kind hand-embroidered ones, and if I am to be truthful, I don't buy them, I don't love them, so much for being bags as for the embroidery. If that same embroidery were being sold just as a piece of embroidered fabric, I would buy that and frame it and hang it up, and I have done that. Puff Palace has more embroidery and assorted textile art on the walls than actual paintings!
So if that piece of embroidery from that isolated little far-flung mountain village happens to be on a bag, its baghood is a bonus!
