They caught that kid, but he ditched my purse. Sad face. I never got that purse back or ever found one like it. Believe ME, I looked for it for years. I was also reading a vintage penguin book on the opera that was in that stolen purse that I have never been able to find again either. How does Les Mis end? Don't ask me. I may have lost my bag that warm Spring night in South Alabama, but what I gained was invaluable. My eyes were forced wide open to the charming man who wanted to take care of me fiercely after only a third date, and who still loyally fights for me and what we love every day. I found a modern day hero.
I wonder if it wouldn't have been THAT bag, would getting some cheap trinket bag taken instead have changed the course of my love affair? my whole amazing life?!? Thank goodness it was that bag. Kate Spade created so many wonderful treasures that changed the lives of the women who bought them and loved them. Kate you will be missed.
