Are you more into collecting than using, whateve?
Not really. I was at one time. I have a small collection of collectible Coach. Most of what I own, I use. The unused vintage accessories I have are a Coach chunky case(cosmetic) still in the box, 2 skinny cases (flat cosmetic), and a kisslock coin purse. If I used these, they would show it very soon. I love the colors and how perfect they are just the way they are. I have several bags that are also collectible but I use them. They weren't pristine when I got them so I don't mind using them. However, the very old ones I don't use a lot because I don't want to damage them. On resale sites, some of these have gone for insane prices so they seem too valuable to take chances with them. Many of my keychains have never been used but I wouldn't hesitate using them if they looked good as decoration on one of my bags.

I can understand. I have a very small new Coach purse a Tabby maybe? Anyway it’s so pretty and new I just like to admire it.

I have vintage Coach handbags. A few I will keep, a few I will give to friends and family, some I will donate. You should see my Dooney's.
Wow Raven what a collection!! I miss the days when vintage Coach bags were everywhere and under $10.
This gave me an idea. We should post group pictures of our “families”. Or just collections or most treasured finds we still use.
