Dooney&Bourke Purse - Please weigh in!

Years ago, when I was single, I dated a man who is American. His mom lived in NY and from what I could gather came from 'old money'. She was a very generous woman and always showered me with really nice gifts.

The last gift she gave me was for Christmas 2001 and to be honest her son and I had broken up before it arrived on my doorstep. I know, I know...I should've returned it but I just couldn't! It was the nicest purse I had ever owned (up to that point - my next relationship was the keeper and now my closet is filled with lots of nice purses.) and I just didn't have the heart to part with it.

Here in Canada we dont have a lot of same same brands and this D&B purse was/is very exotic! I always felt like a million bucks when I carried it. It goes with most of my winter wardrobe and while I was a working girl in the big city I thought of it as my 'power purse'.

8 years later and I am wondering...can I still use this purse? Is it still fashionable enough? Is it so classic I could use it forever? I dont know! So I am asking you to weigh in and tell me what you think.

My style has always been very classic so I dont follow trends or buy 'this year's fashion'. Yes I have coats and other pieces of clothing that I bought back in high school - more than 20 years ago! I always take really good care of my wardrobe so my clothes last a long time - much like this purse. It is still in the same condition it was when I got it!

Here is a photo of the purse - I couldn't find it in the right colour but the one I have is hunter green and tan. I took the shoulder strap off because I'm not a purse-over-the-shoulder kind of person.





Thoughts? Advice?

Thanks!

Have a fabulous day!
