Kate Spade in the garden

In 2004, when I was still over-employed and highly paid, I splurged on a fabulous Kate Spade handbag.  Really lovely – compact, black microfiber with white top stitching on the handles. Within two weeks, the stitching started to unravel and so I took it back to Holts. Apparently it couldn’t be replaced or exchanged, so they offered to repair it.  Three weeks later I pick up my bag and within a short time, the stitching on the remaining handles started to unravel, so I just decided to live with it. Despite the stitching, the bag served me well, and only recently has it started to look really used.  Voila…. My styling new garden bag for ties and garden tools!
