A brief history of handbags | Justine Leconte

[@justineleconte]

So the million dollar question is: what actually makes an iconic bag?... 😅 Have a great Sunday everyone!

[@Subhadebu]

Justine Leconte officiel get a princess/actress/star to pose

[@roxemary]

Justine Leconte officiel If I knew I'd design it myself haha :p honestly, I think it's about the timing it comes out, some luck, and lines that appeal to most people without being boring

[@Canadian97467]

Also, it must be practical, otherwise people won't use it and be seen in the street with it. Perhaps there is inspiration to be taken from what the stars and royals are wearing, both in terms of bags and clothes.

[@Canadian97467]

Just an idea, because I enjoy the brain gymnastics: The cost of living inside the cities is increasing to the point of forcing workers to commute longer and longer, often by public transport. A bag that suits that lifestyle change? What do people like to take with them on the subway/train? Can it be carried with deforming the bag within a short period of time?

[@lafranglaise3399]

1. Original design therefore instantly recognisable as designer bag (snob appeal !) 2. Released in limited quantity (clever marketing) 3. Practical (not always a priority but séparates the men from the boys !) 4. High quality materials (this factor beginning to evolve - ref Stella McCartney bags not exactly sturdy !) 5. Sported by a celebrity (obligatory !!!)

[@ArwaGuesmi]

I think what makes this channel stand out and iconic is your insight, intellect and personal taste. Well done Justine.

[@justineleconte]

+Arwa Guesmi thank you for those precise words. Really helpful in describing my work. 💛

[@dinatania3369]

you've easily become my favorite fashion and style vlogger! so much information, i always look forward to your vids. thanks so much, justine!

[@justineleconte]

thanks!! Have a great Sunday!

[@tinahuffman2788]

Ok. I'm 47 frumpy and have taken on the taste in clothes from my mom and grandmother. They would actually give me their hand me downs as we had not much money. My jeans were from my brother until I sprouted past him in height. LOL. I have to say Justine I am new to your channel but am learning so much. I am helping and applying the information to my 20 And 26 year old daughters. They are loving it! Thank you for helping me be a hip mom even if I don't look like it. 😍

[@justineleconte]

hahaha say hi to your daughters :-D

[@Lili-qy1ls]

Your videos are so interesting and well made. It's hard to find a fashion-youtuber who does more than hauls and lookbooks... :) Grüße aus Österreich!

[@justineleconte]

danke - that's exactly what I am trying to do with this channel!!

[@Lisamol11]

Just seconding what Aurora said! LOVE the lack of hauls and lookbooks--your channel is the best, Justine. Thank you! You remind us that style and fashion can absolutely be aspects of intelligence--and that you can be very intelligent about them.

[@___LC___]

Look into Bernadette Banner.

[@klarachiamarsi5935]

Justine is an ideal example of what people mean when they say "Just be yourself". I'm not into fashion, but regularly watch this channel to enjoy how nice, calm, confident and friendly human talks :-)

[@PetWessman]

Such a good summary of the history of handbags! And I'd like to tell you, Justine, that you're helping me come to terms with my small teeth! I have small teeth and a big smile, like you, and show a lot of gum when I smile. It's been an insecurity of mine, but your recent video about 10 French beauty secrets and keeping your uniqueness is truly a helpful way of thinking! If anyone in the comments is interested in the history of fashion, there's a channel called The Ultimate Fashion History that is run by (I think) a fashion history professor at a university. It's excellent if you enjoy fashion through the ages.

[@cristianemaia4101]

What a treat to wake up and run to watch your video. Thank you!!!

[@dmlkcs8620]

The first real handbags to come out where very beautiful. Not very practical but surely beautiful! Thanks for sharing this Justine! ❤️ it!

[@enterprisebaby]

Merci, Justine!! As a history major and handbag enthusiast, this presentation has quickly become a favorite! What makes an iconic handbag? One that will stand the test of time. The Kelly, the Birkin,--these will always be in style. What makes a handbag "great" for me is one that does exactly what it should at the time I am using it. A fun, nautical tote for on the ship. A vintage, beaded evening bag for a more formal occasion. A practical, small crossbody for a day of shopping. For everyday use, the most classic and well-made bag that I can afford. Other than the amazing wedding ring my husband presented to me, my handbags are what seem to define me.

[@simpleminimalist3482]

Anytime my mom wanted to give a woman a compliment, she'd tell her she looked like a French woman. You have been such an inspiration when it comes to fashion and style. When it comes to iconic bags - simple/practical/neutral colors/versatile model + attention from respected celebrities/royals to validate it.

[@asadifififaroo]

A free and comfortable and informative fashion history lesson.... thank you once again for your unique and calm exposition.

[@dr.h4785]

Justine, I've been following your channel for quite sometime now, and I kid you not it has some how shaped me into the woman am becoming and finding a taste of my own. Thank you so much. Your channel is by far my favorite channel on KZbin. Keep up the good work. With love x

[@ritikapunna5947]

I love your videos, Justine! I've learned so many things because of you. I keep looking forward to your videos. One of my favourite channels on KZbin, really. I really appreciate your efforts for being so informative. :))

[@aimercab8630]

I love your vibe Justine! Thank you for all the information. I am a life long tomboy, recently rediscovering, accepting, and enjoying my femininity at the age of 45. My mid-life crisis came in the form of wanting to truly enjoy my feminine side, instead of finding it a burden as I did for as long as I can remember. Anyway...Your channel has taught me so much. And I am enjoying putting that knowledge into action. The results have been very gratifying, and self-affirming. I thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@coffeefordinner]

I have Justine for fashion and Lisa Eldridge for makeup... KZbin has never been better! Thanks for all your amazing videos Justine!

[@PumpkinHausProd]

My Coach Swagger, solid black with all matte hardware, is my staple piece. I love it to death. Compliments a formal look or dresses up a casual look without looking like I'm trying too hard. I loved this video. ...I love all your videos haha.

[@greenwillow5404]

Loved this video! Really fascinating!!! Now I can picture what a reticule looks like. (I read a lot of old novels). Amazing job! Thanks so much!😍💕👏🏻

[@Carebear75983]

Hi Justine! I absolutely LOVE your channel! Like many have been saying, your channel has made me realise that not only am I really interested in fashion, but it has taught me how to escape the fast fashion trend and commit to fewer, more high quality pieces! I love how put-together every video is, and this one was no exception. The only issue I have is that I believe the title should be "A brief history of handbags in the Western world". This is because from my own research and knowledge, there is a long and rich history of bags on other continents and among Native Americans and indigenous peoples from all over the world to make bags beautiful as well as functional, and elaborate bags designed well before the Middle Ages and even before the Greeks and Romans! Anyway, I know it's too much to include in one video, but for this reason I suggest making the name more reflective of just one part of the world.

[@heidiofthehills1176]

This channel has become my absolute favorite. The wealth of knowledge that I get from this channel is truly remarkable. Only one regret, of not having Justine as my personal stylist :( I at least have all her tips and suggestions though. Justine keep up the great work that you're doing!!! Have a great Sunday ☺️

[@garlicgirl3149]

Right! Information you can actually use in real life!

[@gorejs8396]

Merci, Justine! I've always been bewildered by minaudières, but your note about regarding them as jewelry suddenly makes them...well...make more sense. On the million-dollar question: Having a glamorous celebrity photographed with a bag can help make it iconic, but design, materials, & construction are equally important. The best ones are as eminently practical as they are beautiful.

[@JJoy-bk8yr]

Thank you, Justine. My grandmother, who was born in Victorian times, called her handbag a "pocketbook," which I loved. I'm sure that word is much older than she was. I think maybe the ancient string bags were called pockets in old English, but when pockets were integrated into clothes and the outside bags with more structure came along they needed a new name. "Purse" is another very old word, but we still use it commonly.

[@tampacubana]

fashion history videos are my absolute FAVE!

[@Veerledebruyne]

I just love your channel. Strong personality, positive vibes, competent, educational, classy and fun. Keep it up!

[@tristian9006]

I love how informative your videos are. Really brings something more to watching fashion videos.

[@DMXredNico]

What actually makes a bag iconic?... Something which is not just beautiful, but practical and stands the test of time. Something which is wearable with different outfit, and lasts many years. It has to make the investment worth it, but is also the representation of something we will like to emulate or become, especially if actresses or vip wear it. My bags tell the story of who I am and/or want to be. By the way, I have an all black longchamp (practical) and I am saving up for a Yves Saint Laurent Sac du Jour in bright fire red (formal but fun, in my opinion!) Love your videos XD Greetings from Scotland

[@ClaudiaArnold]

Did you ever visit the handbag museum in Amsterdam? That is wonderfull, their oldest pieces are from the Renaissance, and they have, besides the well-known classics, really experimental (or should I say freaky) stuff like a matching set of bag and pumps made of toad skin. They also sell a catalogue which is very extensive.

[@justineleconte]

+Claudia Arnold I heard of this museum and I would LOVE to visit it! Will look for the catalogue, thanks for the tip! 💛

[@xochitlpv8849]

Excellent, excellent video!!! I used to be obsessed with bags, different colors, styles, for different occasions...but then I had to sell all my belongings before a major move. I'm more into function these days. I prefer a cross body with a long enough strap, zippered pockets on the outside for keys and phone and a soft, flexible material. Stiff bags can be beautiful but my hands get scratched by the zippers. My favorite bag is one my mom made from an old black and white Hawaiian shirt. She also made a beautiful little purse out of a men's tweed jacket.

[@Meksinkler]

I would love a video on pattern design, its evolution through history, how patterns are designed today, etc Thanks :)

[@mariatikka3350]

I am so glad I found this channel! I finally found my favourite person on youtube, you are so classy and smart! Kisses from the UK! :)

[@justineleconte]

wow, thank you!!

[@2PuppyProductions]

I really enjoyed this video and would love to see more on the history of fashion like this. You are so knowledgeable and you make the information so accessible. Merci!

[@joools1953]

This was really interesting, Justine. I've always been interested in the history of costume but I'd never given handbags a second thought until this video. Thank you.

[@BereniceBloom]

Dear Justine, Just discovered you yesterday. Your videos have the right length, are very informative (I really enjoy how you put information first, only peppered with comments and personal opinion - that is hard to find here on youtube) and your way of presenting is passionate, yet relaxed, a joy to watch!

[@sunachan666]

I absolutely love fashion history videos, would love some more

[@justineleconte]

which part of history or which part of fashion would you like?

[@BlairWaldorf2013]

Justine Leconte officiel.,,I'd like to see a series that studies these accessories from other cultures like handbags from Africa, Middle East, China, Latin America, etc. same for scarfs, shoes, skirts...

[@TovarichBramble]

Perhaps French fashion through the ages? As you touched on in the video, the French had the Sun King which fashionably speaking must have been a wonderful and lucrative time to be a fashion designer!

[@JJoy-bk8yr]

The renaissance, or Age of Exploration; how cultures influenced each other at that time.

[@sunachan666]

As I'm interested in fashion and history, anything in the topic is great :) I would be happy with more videos like this one (exploring a particular item) or videos about a period in fashion history like Victorian fashion, the 20s or 50s.

[@chambanachik1]

I could watch your videos every day- you are such an interesting, SMART, and fun KZbinr!

[@SkylaSternenlocke]

I used to have many different kinds of bags but the only bags I really use now are hobo bags from linnen or cotton (unless it`s a formal occasion). I love that they are so light and the very broad straps that don`t cut into the shoulder. I`ve sewn a really large double sided one for shopping too and it`s just so comfortable.

[@jeannettemann96]

Another stellar video! Merci beaucoup Justine! I myself am a shoe girl. Purses for me need to be practical, esthetically pleasing to me, proportionally balanced to my frame and outfit. As long as it does not interfere with my ensemble of the day, I'm good to go. As for your question about an iconic bag, an answer might be the test of time. The Lady Dior bag, the Classic Chanel quilted bag, Hermes Kelly and Birkin bags, the Louis Vuitton speedy bag, Fendi clutch, today the Cult Gaia bag etc. I haver never gravitated to iconic bags. Too widespread for me. 😊

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I love your fashion history videos, it’s so interesting to see how human history is expressed outwardly in things like clothing and accessories.

[@TheRealRealOK]

I love history and I think it's wonderful that you include short videos on the history of fashion in your content.

[@justineleconte]

+12345 ABCDE glad you like it!! I love fashion history 😊

[@orangewedges]

I am so hooked onto your videos! I learn something new every time and listening to you speak is really relaxing lol. Finally someone who is an "insider" explaining things to us, the consumer, and making us more informed about the things we see on the market.

[@justineleconte]

+orangewedges thank you so much 😄

[@beataks8859]

Wow! So informative. Well done! :D To answer your question: I think a perfect handbag should be a perfect size - not too big, not too small - be practical (easy to carry, easy to open, easy to clean) - and it should look simple not to overwhelm the look.

[@cap4life1]

I've never clicked on a video so fast. Thank you for discussing handbags!

[@justineleconte]

+cap4life1 hahaha glad you like this topic 😊

[@garlicgirl3149]

I so enjoy the history lessons! Keep them coming. How interesting though...the premise of not making until made a handbag. Interesting.

[@EllieBenadi]

I absolutely love your videos Justine. You seem to know exactly what we want to know and you tell it in a friendly elegant way. I wish you all the best! 😘

[@chantal5676]

Very interesting Justine, thank you for sharing! I love handbags and I hardly resist the pleasure to buy new ones. Iconic bags are related to iconic people and iconic brands which makes them so attractive for some women, imo.

[@AmaraJordanMusic]

Huzzah the Kelly Bag! I hoped you'd mention it! She often posed with it over her stomach when she was hiding her pregnancy. I'm so glad you went from the Middle Ages and showed the split! Because like pink being a girl's color and heels being a girl's thing, it shows these notions are all fluid! I'm so pleased with this video. I'm definitely adding this to my "show friends" playlist. Maybe a video about things we take for granted, like pockets and readily available buttons and zippers would be good. I know in the Middle Ages up, the pockets were a separate piece of fabric you tied or buttoned under your skirt, which had slits in it to reach into the pockets. The nursery rhyme, "Lucky Locket lost her pocket, Kitty Fisher found it. Not a penny was there in it, only ribbon 'round it," alludes to it. Maybe also mentioning how some dyes were so hard to come by, especially blue, would be cool. There's so much in fashion we take for granted that I think there's enough for a solid video there. Just an idea!

[@melliehay982]

I love watching your videos Justine...you explain and give good advice aswell as all that you enlighten us with history too. Thank-you so much x

[@QofHearts617]

Loved it 👜! Thanks Justine, I love the history you put in your videos, such a fan of your Vlogs. This and your shoe video are my favorites. You're an inspiration every time I pull an outfit together! Have a beautiful Summer.

[@dr.kathleenruddy1734]

Your best! Iconic bag = functional, chic, hands-free, perfect craftsmanship, durable materials, expensive but not unaffordable. Go for it, Justine! The world is waiting. Also, a variety of colors. You might think about making a cross body with the option of having it attach (by snaps, perhaps) to a larger bag that, in turn, attaches to a small piece of luggage??????? We're waiting!!!!!!

[@dr.kathleenruddy1734]

OH, and I'd like a first edition, if you please. XOX Kathleen

[@vinijohnson4695]

Gucci will have a somewhat similar idea out for their Fall/Winter 2017/2018 collection. The handbags will be mix and match with clips on the top and bottom of the pouches/bags to display 2, 3 etc. connecting styles to carry through your day. First example I've seen as of yet.

[@matematicarka]

I love your research videos, you made fashion for me so much more logical and understandable, I now actualy care about I wear and about buying clothes! I used to think fashion is the same as trends and I just hated it

[@user-lc1of7cm9r]

What makes an iconic bag? I would think there has to be an origin story of some sort, that has been said and popularized... it must also have been worn by iconic and stylish people haha. So happy to have seen Van Cleef & Arpel's Minaudière included in your historical overview (from the pictures that I have seen, they are so beautiful...). Thank you for your beautifully edited videos! Merci beaucoup :-)

[@JaneandPatrick]

I love handbags, I think I probably have too many!?....(if that's possible) Thank you so much for this , and all your videos. You put so much research into them, and it shows, you are teaching us all, and its appreciated. xx

[@shellmagail6061]

I really enjoyed this post. :) I peruse the handbags in every store I enter. I adore them. When I purchase, I always look for one that feels comfortable to carry and opens so that I can see and reach in easily to find the items that I need.

[@minimalistlife4691]

I'm getting addictive of your videos..I feel so much more confident with dressing up and buying clothes since I've been watching your videos..greetings from germany

[@justineleconte]

so happy to read this! Thanks!

[@iyamamamari]

Thank you for sharing this history and for covering high end designer as well as more affordable options. I love your channel Justine... I learn so much!

[@dashaprosvy2223]

I love your fashion history videos! Knowing history of fashion helps to understand current fashion and trends more. Thank you a lot for your work))

[@aileengurbuz6456]

Fascinating handbag history. You should do a video on how to choose a versatile colored bag that are any season (spring, summer, fall,winter) besides neutral colored bags (black, brown, white, tan, taupe, cream). Many women have difficulty styling their outfits with brightly colored bags. Decision on when the purse should be the focal point or their outfit should be the focal point.

[@luchied.3865]

Thumbs up before I watched the entire video. Great topic, Justine. Cheers from CA. * Watched it. Now I need a thick coffee table book about handbag history. 🤗

[@virginialopezrey6860]

I look forward to your videos! You make it easier and fun to learn about fashion.

[@karoncrickmore2093]

I just watched your hat 🧢 video and now the handbag 👜. Both are so very interesting!! I love the history lessons.

[@223schnupp]

I've subscribed to your channel for the last several weeks and I am having a great time watching the videos you've made in the past. They are super informative and done in a very concise but substantive way. I'm always looking forward to watching the next one. :) Have a great week ahead of you :)

[@judyannstreich7499]

Thanks for this interesting video. If anyone can design an iconic bag, I trust it will be you. So happy to have stumbled into your site. Always short, snappy and entertaining.

[@xomarahdickison7567]

Justine: I love your videos, they are fun and informative. I enjoy your cheerful nature and your chic style. Please continue making these for the modern woman who prefers true timeless fashion over trends.

[@justineleconte]

+Xomarah Dickison thank you!

[@closingscenes]

Love your videos! I’m just watching them one after another! What makes an iconic bag is a bag that does not have too many pockets or features. Clean lines and simple flaps, pockets, zippers, and at a decent size depending on the person’s body frame makes an iconic bag. I personally think a bucket back is a classic. I have an 80’s Fendi checkered bucket bag I got off Etsy for $100 and it’s been through a lot. I had other bags and ended up selling or giving them away first before this bag because they don’t serve the same purpose. Since I have been through with so many cheap and low quality bags, I would love to own a new designer bag someday though. I’m eyeing on YSL nano sac de jour, Balenciaga city bag, Mansur Gavriel or a Proenza Schouler bag; these are on my wish list! Anyway, great video and brief history! France has a long history of bag designers and I find it so amazing that they have come a long way into making themselves known in fashion history. P.s. Will you do a video on wallets?? :)

[@sullivanjane9658]

Justine, you are wonderful; your pieces are so interesting and informative!. How about something on the history of make-up and also on all the 'new' fabrics introduced in the twentieth century?.

[@AdanHooper]

I think what makes it iconic is a combination of simplicity, versatile wearability, well promoted image or PR, or the false or real feeling that it is a necessity, and massive attractiveness to a wide variety of people over multiple generations. Just my thoughts. I am a new subscriber, I love how interesting you make your content, and the passion you show for your work. Can you do the history of clothing dyes, pattern making. Different materials in clothing: natural and synthetic? Merci!

[@trinelangohr6661]

Thank you for these interesting videos! I learn a lot about history and the way it works, just by watching you talk about fashion history. You're kinda like James Burke in the famous series "Connections", but instead of technological inventions, you use fashion to connect historical events. The BBC should give you a series, damn it!

[@mikagrossmann5370]

I just love how informative your videos are! Once again, you made it (in KZbin, I mean, not in the fashion industry - yet! :) ).

[@therezav2059]

Justine I love your videos! I have learned so much about fashion by watching them. Thank you!

[@justineleconte]

+Thereza v you're welcome 🤗

[@SC-gp7kt]

love learning about fashion history and the way you explain basic things.....thank you!!! do more of these :)

[@elizabethfard2182]

I love your videos! Thank you for turning fashion into an educational experience.

[@swatinegi6401]

Hey Justine, so wonderful to discover you on KZbin, love watching your videos. We need more KZbinrs like you ❤️🌺

[@kattatonic1]

Thank you for the connection with pockets. Sometimes in certain era books they talk about pocketbooks and I know they're talking about purses because my grandmother taught me that. I never made the connection with real pockets! I know they're talking about handbags when they say pocketbook but now I understand where the word came from. Also I would like to say hallelujah and thank the gods for the person who invented pockets!

[@LFalby]

I must be channeling your brainwaves! I just bought a new book yesterday about fashion in the time of Jane Austen and learned what a reticule is! I think that purses now are strictly about function, hence the popularity of the backpack. Love your smart, funny, insightful videos!!

[@velociraptorclaws]

Your channel is honestly my new favourite.

[@gaiafox]

this is my most favourite channel on youtube at the moment, can't wait for next video :)

[@justineleconte]

yayyy! Thanks!

[@gaiafox]

[@bebeeru3066]

Such a interesting and informative video, I have learned a lot from it. To me an iconic handbag is simple designed, functional yet classic.

[@KW-cv5me]

I've been watching your channel for a while, you're so helpful and informative! I love watching every video because there is always something I can take away. Thank you :)

[@kellymiller597]

Fun! Love the history on handbags... i have a sweet spot for them. Love to see more on this topic... what you think are essentials and must haves in a handbag collection. Cheers from the US...

[@mariasmorodinnikova2295]

Thank you, dear Justine! It's such a pleasure to watch your videos. I always want more and more of them! I'd love to know more about fashion history particularly from you. Could you make a separate playlist dedicated to fashion history? That would be sooo interesting Greetings from Ukraine

[@rosemarytea3878]

daily portion of education :D I love how you explain everything so simply and yet interesting. Please do more fashion history videos!

[@justineleconte]

ok ;-D

[@melissalepper5880]

Very good presentation! I really did not think I cared about handbags but you made it very interesting succinct just the right length. Well done.

[@smarczewski1]

I really love your research and the history --quite interesting. I like how you talk with your hands as well. Your smile & gestures are enjoyable ❤️

[@orsolyatoth7440]

Fascinating information, as always! Justine, could you do a video on what should be coordinated with what in an outfit? The bag with the shoe? The shoe with the dress? The dress with the jacket? It's all super confusing for me....

[@ludmillabogucharska3182]

An iconic bag is the one that goes with iconic (read: timeless, classy) outfit.. Otherwise it won't look right... Did I win a million dollars? 🙃 Thanks Justine, I enjoyed this video. Great start for Sunday morning!

[@Ingrid0410]

So informative! Merci~ love your vlogs! I love how Paris does a Longchamps in a new color every season! These light bags are perfect for shopping! I've thought much about becoming a handbag designer, but don't really know how to get started. Purses/handbags have been my favorite accessory for over 40 years!

[@justineleconte]

+ingrid glad you enjoyed the video! There are great books about handbag design, why not start there? 😉

[@myyarnfun]

This was really interesting! Love bags and it was awesome to learn more about them and fashion! Thank you!

[@prisillaspace]

I do love a dose of history & I have always liked the smaller bags for going out. How funny but practical to have a purse in a dress (now they're pockets)... & I like what you said about young girls who can't afford a designer bag.....yet .... 😊😎💗

[@RayChill997]

another amazing video I can see where modern day desighners draw inspiration from wow had no idea you have to look in the past or the Kelly bag was named after grace. this is why I love your channel thumbs up

[@jxyjayjxy]

Such a great video! So much info and fashion history! Very interesting to see how things have evolved over time.

[@justineleconte]

+Jaxxy J thanks!

[@susanmulvey6311]

Soooooo interesting!! Super great video!! Thank you for a the history lesson on handbags!!❤️

[@marquelampert37]

Justine I always enjoy your videos! The one about how the French eat made so much sense- eating the largest meal at noon- I'm starting to change how I'm eating(amount and time) and I think it will give me more energy in the afternoon. This video about the history of the handbag was very interesting, well thought out

[@justineleconte]

thanks & good luck with the switch in your eating habits!

[@AubreyCullins]

I learn so much from you! I carry a backpack for practicality but I do think it's cute and fits my style as well.

[@edel498]

Your full of knowledge Justine! love your videos and always look forward to your new ones x

[@planetjazzy]

Thank you so much BTW for your videos as I have enjoyed everyone... Late nights without being able to sleep I Bing on "KZbin" hoping to find more than banal things to view... So finding little gems (yours) was special indeed

[@justineleconte]

thanks!!

[@bneck7576]

l thoroughly enjoy your channel, Justine. it is very well done. the topics are spot on, the commentary is easy to understand and no music (some music can be annoying and overpower the host, so kudos for that)

[@Gevedon]

All I know is that you always continue to educate me. Once when I was second hand shopping, I reached in behind a deep rack of black leather bags and pulled out the most buttery leather hobo bag my hand had ever felt. It was a Coach bag. This company was founded from inspiration of the baseball glove. ;b

[@JJoy-bk8yr]

A coworker bought a second hand Coach bag. It is beautiful and shows no wear. It is a russet color. She's had it a few years, accidently spilled coffee all over it, and it still looks new.
