This baby is at least 20 years old. We have other bags, so we don't use this too often. So it's beautifully kept in its dustbag in a room with lower humidity and regular temperature that doesn't fluctuate too much.When I look at the bags at home, I'm not inclined to go out to grab a vintage deal simply because the our bags are in almost mint condition. Not many vintage deals can match up to ours.
This baby is a classic XL jumbo. Sure, you get the updated versions now, but there's something about the lighter new leather and chain that don't completely match up to the quality of the older version.
I try not to put too many things into this baby. Even when I minimize the stuff, everytime I pick it up for an afternoon, I'm reminded that it's a 2.5kg bag. (I weighed it.) Not good to go shopping with.
Since I can't pair the jumbo with boots on this island, I make do with a light dress and slippers.

Ah, this is definitely in much better condition than most vintages!
2.5kg is a heavy bag.
And I just want to say, the banner of the two bears is really cute.
u remember my caviar red? i think i should go dig it out and give a good airing and carry it out for tea or something.
corsage: i must show you the inside of it. you'll never believe it's 20yrs old. you'd have thought it's just 5 or so.
wildgoose: YAH MAN. heheheh. i love those 2 bears! new additions!
jazzgal: bring them out. we'll wear red lipstick and put on wayfarers. retro enough.
Wow, u are a good keeper.
20 years not simple!
celcilia: i love these bags, so i'll take care of them. if kept well, these bags will accompany 3 generations of women. :)
