Does anyone recognise this bag symbol? It’s an A with a little circle in the top.
Thank you

I've never noticed this brand before, but there is one at a garage sale across the street from me. I only took a photo of the label and the logo so I could answer your question, but I see it's been answered. I didn't take a picture of the whole bag, but it's kind of a messenger style with a long shoulder strap (too short to crossbody).

It's $5. I don't think there are any tears or anything obviously wrong except that it's kind of squished. I'll post what I took. Please let me know (quickly!) if you'd like more photos and if you like it, I can buy it and send it to you.

I found this Cole Haan tote at a consignment sale. Price $20. I am in love with the color. In my experience, the older Cole Haan purses are workhorses that hold up well. However, this bag has carried more than its share and the handle is separated. Has anyone experienced handles that have "delaminated" (for lack of a better word) and had them professionally repaired? ((I turned the bag inside out for a photo of the interior pocket.))

You might get some help with some of the rehab threads on the forum. There is an active one in Coach that might be able to help with other brands. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club.833400/

there is also this general section of the forum: https://forum.purseblog.com/forums/handbag-care-maintenance.272/

You can fix it yourself but it is difficult. It would involve gluing the layers together, then replacing the edge coating. It takes patience and finesse to get the edge coating right. There are repair services that you can use. It depends on how much you are willing to spend.
