I have used/had my Coach hobo/duffle bag for almost 10 years....I have had to replace the strap as one of the puppies chewed it. I also have a smaller Coach bag which is sometimes more practical that I have had for about 8 years. While the cost for these bags can seem pricey, "reduce it to the ridiculous" - hobo bag - approximately $700.00 divded by 10 years - the bag only cost me $70.00 per year to use....you can't hurt them. They last forever. And just for informational purposes, they do carry matching wallets, sunglass cases and key chain holders. To keep it dog related, don't leave your bag where the dogs can get it - my replacement strap was $258.
