Classic Coach Bag Revisited

Do you remember Coach bags pre logo and satin lining?  I was sitting here obsessing over some creases in one of my new bags and I was thinking about how great Coach leather used to be. It's still good but it used to be indestructible! So durable and thick. Coach has reissued many of these classics including my very own Janice's Legacy bag.

I am going to start putting my Janice back into the rotation! This was my first good bag that my mother bought me for Christmas one year. I think it was around 1998. Thanks mom! The funny thing, I wasn't even into purses at that time and didn't even own one. I was fresh out of college, so my "purse" was a backpack.
I used this Janice bag for my new job, hanging out, everything and it still looks great after so many years!

What was your first handbag and do you still use it? 

I Just Bought: Handbag Scarf

I went to lunch with my mom today and we stopped into Burlington Coat Factory. I spotted this cute little scarf and she bought it for me. (Thanks Mom) It has no tags so I am not sure what the name brand is or the material although I am guessing it's polyester. It was cute and a good deal, so why not right? I thought it would look very cute on purses to accessorize them and add color. Some Coach bags come with a ponytail scarf that do the same thing as shown below. Do you "accessorize" your handbags too? If so, how?
