Actually, there is a legend floating around that a woman took her H bag with her on a safari, and an elephant stepped on the bag.

When she arrived back in New York, she brought her bag in, and Claude repaired it until it looked as good as new.

That being said, not everyone knows H. My grandmother was a fashionista, and was given an H Kelly in 1963. My aunt inherited all of her clothing, shoes (close to 150 prs of Manolos) and handbags (including an original issue 2.55 in mint condition, the Kelly, and an H Sac a Malice) and left them in her basement without doing anything to them for 10 years. I recently tried to pry them from her tightly clenched fist - and she told me, "Oh, I donated them to charity years ago"
I could have strangled her.

I ask myself that all the time. The only conclusion I've come to is that some people just live in isolation.

My mother always tries to tell me I can't recreated my grandmother's collection. I should make my own. But...
Some ask "What would MaiTai Do?" I aways wonder, "What would my grandmother buy?"

thats not the part that bothers me most, the part is that if she knew you wanted them. it would have been kinder all around to offer it to you, whether or not she knew its value.

and if she really wanted to donate she could have asked you to make a cash donation to her favorite charity instead!!! :crybaby: :cry:
