The Most Durable Bag You've Owned?

[Tanja]

My Mulberry bag. I had it for 10 years and used it heavily but I just sold it because considering the age and the use it was in an amazing shape.

My Prada nylon backpack has seen more soccer fields than I care to remember.

Tod's also wears very well and timeless styles.

My first Coach -- got it back in late 80's. I abused that poor thing and it STILL looked great 3 or 4 years ago when I finally sold it on ebay.

My Dickies messenger bag. It's been through so much (including a blizzard!) and still is intact.

My black Carlos Falchi black Doctor's Bag. Beautiful pebbled leather-tough as nails.

Coach will definately stand up to abuse. But I must say that my LV mono speedy 30 has survived much and still looks fantastic!

Yep, Coach for me, too. They just never die. I bought a Coach black calfskin leather diaper bag at an outlet about 7 years ago (don't laugh: it makes a great laptop / travel / work bag) and it still looks new. It's one of the only bags I"ve kept since becoming a Balenciaga addict !

Not mine, but my mother's LV noe held out for 20+ years before the strap gave way.

My Luella Gisele - that thing is built solid! Damn heavy too.

I'd have to say the older Coach leather bags. I have about 4 black ones, and while they have aged a bit, they've done so gracefully . And they still look great and not (too) outdated!

my coach bags have been the most durable. i abuse them to death, take them on trips around the world, sit on them (yes, sit on them) etc. and they're still in tact!

Any of my Tod's bags. Great leather and timeless styles. Wears well.

On the subject of durability..... I just bought a Michael Kors berkley shopper. I spent the $$ because my Dooney & Burke started getting holes in the corners from wear and tear. I dont consider myself to b too harsh on my bags but I bought this Michael Kors exactly a month ago. And.... all four of the straps stitching (where the leather meets to acctual bag) have ripped! The triange stitching that is i guess the reinforcer is holding up but its only been a month. This bag was like $378 dollars. I can understand maybe after several months it might start looking a little worn in, but not after such a short amount of time. Has anyone else had trouble with this designer? I went to the web site and there isnt any type of contact information for comments or anything like that. I dont really want to return it becayse 1. I LOVE IT and 2. Its not the stores fault its the designers. SO.... does anyone have any advise or the same problem?

Burberrys are pretty durable!
