I am a big believer in quality versus quantity.
Two weeks ago before I caught the flu, I made a huge investment in a messenger bag to use for business and for pleasure. I've talked about the last wallet I owned, and lost, and repurchased. But this purchase is more significant.
I've owned so many briefcases and messenger bags. My green Diesel went through Italy with me last September and it was that trip that inspired me to upgrade my man bag.
The Louis Vuitton Abbesses Messenger bag does the trick for me. It's an organizer's dream, with an adjustable textile strap and brown canvas lining. There's even a cel phone pocket, patch pocket and a D-ring for my keys, but I don't think I'll be using that. And I love the canvas cover, which is super-easy to clean.
I've been warned to not carry a laptop in this case, because it's not designed for that. And it's going to be a while before the material softens and loses that ridged feeling.
I feel it's really important that as an organizer in "Hollywood" I have an appreciation of quality. Clients have deep attachments to their clothes, shoes and purses. I know that "things" represent a variety of life's challenges and triumphs, because I am right there with them-- so I get it.
So, have you snagged a bag lately, or anything-- that was a big investment but you know you will never be be sorry for laying out the cash? We want to hear about it!
