(I don't have any in the LV/Hermes range, but my Longchamps, for ex. <br />Designer bags seem designed to be impractical for daily use. <br />I have one whose straps are too small to sling over my shoulder and stay there. Another has two criss-crossed straps that make the bag tip open awkwardly if I try to get someone out of it quickly. Most are too small for my daily work stuff. Don't get me started on clutches. I have one made from the material of an antique kimono, and it's useless.<br />My best bag was a freebie from Philippe Charriol, a French-Hong Kong brand. It's a big mint-green canvas tote with dark leather detail.<br />I used it every week for five years till it was unacceptably dirty.<br />I've just brought it to Jeeves, Hong Kong's high-end specialty dry-cleaner. They're charging me HK $580 (US $70) to hand-clean it, but it'll be worth it.Joyce Lauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078504968737757085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-86402072794425685142009-10-14T09:42:30.140-07:002009-10-14T09:42:30.140-07:00I wish I could crochet but my fingers rebel.

However, I've seen 24's view from her pool and a High WASP would be pleased and proud to live there:). The jacket is old, so now it's just older. I will still wear it, probably until it's in shreds. Or I buy a new one.

Just that I catch myself mid-complaint and have to laugh at how unlikely I am to elicit much sympathy. Poor me, the cleaner is in my way . . . <br />Actually, my complaint sounds even less sympathy-worthy next to yours.

They were not. After meeting with my client, I was in so much pain I walked across their parking lot barefoot, hopped in the car, and went to one of those little shoe boutiques on Nassau Avenue and bought a pair of flip-flops for the plane.
