Because it's hard to find THE perfect bag!
I guess the unpopular opinion for me in this thread is that I LOVE to add doodads, punch holes, cut the leather, buy cheap straps from
Amazon, etc, so that I could have a creative outlet with my bags!

And that makes me happy. I guess I am a rebel.

It doesn't matter if the bag is $100.00 or $1000.00. If I want to change something, I will do it. Life is too short.

Just my opinion.
Once, an SA at Chanel told me that Chanel would have rolled over in her grave if she saw my vintage Chanel bag.
I said I don't care cuz I love my doodads on my bag, and I can do whatever I want with a bag I purchased with my own money! LOL!!

But she did like what I did to it!
