You're telling my life story....
That Court bag was WELL WORTH $3. I love the Court bag and I think it might be worth buying a strap for it since it's such a classic enduring bag!! Your thrift shops are over all much better priced than mine are!! Mine are just getting worse at ratcheting up the prices.
I found some great stuff this week too ! Just had to "drop in and look" ....I almost always find something cool.
Very true, I often find that prices are quite high on the used coach bags and that I can sometimes score a great deal on a less well-known brand, just because it was not recognized as a designer item. I am sure that my $2 Bonnie Cashin Coach Small Shopper would have been priced much higher if the "Coach" tag hadn't been hidden by the "Saks" label.
I just felt bad leaving that beautiful bag there in a pile of junk when I knew that it had so much potential!
I'll keep my eyes open for a new strap. I think that it would be a waste of money to try and repair the current strap. Thanks!
