Well...I look at that old and run-down bag a bit differently, maybe because I have a few 30-year-old bags in my closet!

Seriously. My first Coach bag was purchased in the summer of 1976. Every time I look at or carry that bag I remember that shopping trip with my mother. Having gone to Catholic school all my life, I needed tons of clothes when it was time to go away to college. During that marathon one week shopping session we picked out a very simple and basic Coach purse for me to take to school. I remember my father conditioning it, along with all my shoes, for me the night before I finished packing, and giving it to me with tears in his eyes when he was finished. It's the bag I was carrying when my husband proposed, and when I walked up the steps of the Capitol for my first day of work. Like me, the years have made their mark on her--there are some scuffs, a few water spots, and a small ink stain. But she has 'pride of place' in my closet among all my bags, and every now and again I take her out, recondition her again, and wear her for a day or two. Just to remember.

I guess I am one to "baby" my Coach bags. Like tomorrow for instance. I am switching to my cheap bag because I am going to the zoo. Never in a million years would I take a Coach to the zoo. I mean... what if a camel sneezes on it or something!!! :cry: I also have women at work that insist on touching my bag. I get "ohhh is that a Coach?" then they pick it up!!! I just want to smack their hand away! But then I think, jeeze it isn't like she was trying to grab your butt or anything! :P

I have times I switch to a cheap bag, too. Tomorrow I'm hopping the train to head to Boston. No way am I using a good bag on the train--to much chance of a big scratch! I picked up a $20 number from Target and I've packed the good bag safely in my carry-on.

It's always good to have one cheap bag!
