Me and this article, sitting in a tree, L-E-A-R-N-I-N-G!

Wow! Great to find a post with such a clear message!

My hat is off to your astute command over this topic-bravo!

I am a one bag at a time gal. I use one until it starts to fall apart and I am forced to replace it. I love designer clothes and will more likely splurge on an outfit rather than buying a purse, although I have been dreaming of a Chanel bag lately.I would like a real designer bag at some point but they are pricey so I buy totes or something I can carry everything in. Until I get my dream bags I am not as particular with the purses. Once, however, a girlfriend of mine has a mother who collected Louis Vuitton bags. When replaced she'd give the 'old' to her daughter. Whenever she'd receive her moms hand me downs she'd give her old one to me. I went through two 'used' Louis Vuitton bags over a span of ten years. I wore them out! I would love another Louis Vuitton only next time I would not take it for granted and really baby it along.
