I don’t think I’ve ever had a bag fail. Then again most of the duties are lugging a computer around. Usually I just get tired of the bag and want something new because there’s a slightly different use case where another bag is optimized for that.
But bags are like old friends. They all have personalities and are unique in their own way. I have an old Chrome messenger bag from college that’s 20 years old. It’s still going strong but I have a different bag now (still a Chrome though) which has an integrated laptop compartment. The bag is still going strong today and whenever I take it out to use it’s like talking to an old friend and retelling stories of the past.
Bags definitely acquire character. I remember realizing a few years ago that I get frequent comments on my old college messenger bag now that I never did when it was new.
