A good bag is hard to find. I have a little sachel that carries an amazing amount of clothing for a trip, sometimes a week long, plus my computer and phone stuff. It makes me feel like Mary Poppins.

Today on Facebook, a very creative writer of sales pitches created a funny story about the Luxha bag from Italy that carries EVERYTHING, including nice dresses for a wedding a smart customer too with her. While the snooty bride tried to control everyone's luggage, the mother of the groom carried this bag everywhere during the wedding events. it sat primly between her feet under the tables where she could easily reach anything she needed.

You know, everybody needs that one special bag. Glad you found yours and it still serves you well.

Thank you, Sue. That FB story sounds like just the beginning of that bag's stories.

Amazing, evocative piece! While I have never hung on to a bag for quite this long, I am very invested in & obsessed with my own bulky crossbody messenger bags...& always will be.

Hi Ellen. I really appreciated reading your kind words! My whole "holding onto everything as long as it works" began even younger, with a Levi's wallet that my mother said I paid too much for. I showed her a thing or two about getting my money's worth.

That's wonderful, Anthony! The longer we hold onto things the more that "cost per use" comes down! :-)
