Something you didn’t expect to be BIFL but outlasted your expectations?
I have a leather tote bag I bought from Express in 2002. It was one of those, but so much and get the tote for a huge discount. It was less than $40 and I’ve used it as my laptop bag not consistently but for a long long time. I need to replace the handles, but it’s amazing. Anything leather will last a lifetime.

Caring for your clothes, will drastically increase their lifespan
I've had a pair of pants from Express for like four years that are still in great shape. I see no need to go buy new clothes anymore.

Confession: I only buy clothes and most items made pre-2020
I noticed the decline around mid to late 00s, arguably when fast fashion really took over. It started earlier even but hadn’t spread to every price point. I used to buy/sell vintage and pre-70s was the best… by 90s the decline was stark. Yes there’s survivorship bias but synthetics and poorer construction just became more widespread. That said, I have stuff from Express that’s pre 2008 and it is real silk. Real leather pants too! Even synthetic cardigans I bought there in the 00s have held up - little to no wear ie fading or piling. Same with old Anthropologie pieces. And it’s not just material but construction - there were bust darts and front seams and more thoughtful placement of button so the clothes fit more flattering. A big clue a brand is getting cheaper in quality is when their price points don’t shift much. Express and Anthropologie charge about the same as 20 years ago, sometimes cheaper! Of course they’ve declined… I’ve always bought vintage but now my wardrobe has also aged into vintage, lol. Stay the same size and buy quality and wear it for decades. For new stuff, I have bought from French brands. The quality at the price points are better and their small seasonal collections are less fast-fashiony.
