In a family trip in Florence in '70 (I was 20) my whole family sat and drank espresso (my first cup ever perhaps) and watched a guy haul away at his girl friend with her handbag right on the street corner endlessly. After a while it became remarkable as to how well the strap was holding up as well as how this whole activity went without notice. Now when I think of handbags I think of Italy. Mark Rabiner
