How true!!! When I was in high school (early 70's. these were THE bags to have. I still have one of mine left, can't seem to part with it. They were definitely representative of the preppy set. I wish they would manufacture some more now, perhaps with a more contemporary edge - but still with the tweed and leather!

I had two of the long narrow John in 1967, leather and tweed. One was blue and one was brown. I wish I knew where they are now. I just wondered if they were still made.

I still have a navy and tweed coin purse. I got it when I was 13 yrs old I'm 53 now.I wish they would come out again. I'm sure they would be a sensation all over again with us baby boomers. We can afford them now too!

Wow!! I used to carry these purses when I was in high school in the 80's...and of course I was made fun of, but I also wore pencil skirts and cuffed white tuxedo shirts (women's) ....all the clothes and purses were my mothers..who was a bombshell in her time...I guess I was a minx before my time.... :)

Found A Navy Blue John Romaine Purse In A Thrift Store About 12 Years Ago. In Mint Condition Except Needed A Good Cleaning. I Carry It On Occasion & Get Many Comments From The Baby Boomers.
