Goodbye Old Friend

[Beekissed]

My wallet is around 10 yrs old and still in good shape, except for the coin compartment is leaky. I buy the same type/brand of wallet and have done so for many a long year...they last so long that, when I need a new one, I'm always afraid they won't be making them any longer. They fit my stuff exactly, hence my loyalty to the type/brand.

My purse? A $4 find at GW I've been using for 3 yrs or more now and will continue to use until it's either falling apart or looks like it has mange. I'm very utilitarian...I don't care about brands when it comes to purses. It's all about the pockets, how they are arranged, and the general size. I carry the exact same things in my purse that I have done since having children 30 yrs ago, so the purse has to be the right size/shape to accommodate these items.

I too no longer carry a purse around and about...it goes to the car with me and then back to the house with me, but when I go shopping I just slip money and my debit card in my pocket and go.

I understand your grief, NY...a good old wallet is much like an old friend. It's hard to give them up when they can no longer carry on.

Nice Mary who doesn't like Gucci. My sister was having a lot of back pain, she went to the Dr a few times but nothing helped. One day Dr went to move her pocketbook he said here is the problem feels like you have rocks in there. Her pocketbook was so heavy it was throwing off her balance casing pain.

Yes, I carry my wallet in front pocket. Back pocket throws my hips out of level while driving. Back problems from that are a thing of the past.

Gucci? What makes them special? Name recognition or do they actually have some innovative things? Here's it Vera Bradley things. When they have their clearance at factory, women go nuts.

Gucci uses good leather and hand made. Every one knows it is expensive

 

[seedcorn]

What country are they made in?

 

[Nyboy]

Italy but I think China now

A couple of weeks ago, I showed my old wallet to one of my parents who loves designer brands. Told her I couldn't find one I liked. Next day she gave me a Gucci wallet! You're darn right I liked it!
