Which bags have you gotten your money's worth?

I think for me it's a tie between my navy suede Proenza Schouler PS1 and, lately, my black Balenciaga Velo. I've been carrying these two bags the most. Even though the Bal was quite expensive, it definitely has a great cost-per-wear ratio.

For me, it's obvious: Vintage Prada Nylon, I bought preloved (and for therefore very inexpensive).
I have two crossbody bags and a backpack - all black. Useful and somehow always pretty cool.

My vintage coach duffle sacs, shoulder sac, skinny and chunky cases I’ve had since 1988. Still holding up and looking great. Skinny case is in every bag I carry, holds my dollar bills without the bend or bulk

I use my Kate Spade bags until the handles start to shred... which I now notice is common.

I use my Kate Spade bags until the handles start to shred... which I now notice is common.

I wonder if that is less common on newer kate spade bags. I've been happy with the quality of my more recent kate spade purchases with the exception of the one with a cloth strap. The strap got stained quickly. I learned not to buy a bag with a nonremovable cloth strap.

My cheaper stuff -- Coach outlet bags, Longchamp small size, and Kipling. The H/C/LV bags rarely get the value out.

My Ralph Lauren collection bags (rickys, rl888,rl50). They are my go to because they are so well made, take a beating and still looks new. The leather is soft but hardy and they are just so underated.

My mon monogram Speedy B 30, the LV Grand Noe in epi leather and my Loewe medium puzzle. Fantastic bags I love to use, which are easy to use and sturdy.

I can't really say in regard to bags I have now but many years ago before joining the PF I had a Dooney Alto I carried every day for years

• H J28 Noir has been _everywhere_ with me - great travel and general knocking-around bag.
• Peter Nitz PJ crossbody has recently supplanted it for travel (I tend to carry fewer items now) and was worth every penny and minute that I spent agonizing over the details.
• Red Gucci Aphrodite MM (purchased not quite a year ago, but is getting a lot of use and is fantastic and seems indestructible).
