Disinclined as we are to throw things out, we’re absolutely confident that planted securely somewhere in the furthest recess of our wardrobe lies a challenge worthy of leading international laundry franchise, Pressto. We’re specifically looking for an old Burberry handbag that has served us well. When we find it, and with it, clipped to a large metal buckle, a keychain with photos of our children, we’re reminded of how old this bag really is. Judging from the photos, we estimate about 9 years, a veritable lifetime in handbag-years. Still in pretty good shape, we think, a sort of Michelle Pfeifer of fashion accessories.
