 My version of Classic means something that is old and been around for years.  That goes in and out of style.  And what could be more classic than an "Envelope" purse.   I found this one at a local Flea Market.  It fits my needs wonderfully.  Small and tucks under my arm.  This also meets 2 of my 101 in 1001 list. 
#50 -  invest in a classic handbag.
#9 - Buy something at a Flea Market.
