Ancient Artifact - Lost Art!

TygerKitty · Jun 19th, 2008, 06:27 PM

Haha, so I've said it before that this bag TOTALLY reminds me of a treasure chest and I cannot wait for it to get even more distressed. This bag is SO AWESOME! I know this is a total teaser because I can't take/post pics yet but I just opened the box and I am in loveeee with this bag! It is olivey/brown with antiqued brass hardware and oh my gosh there are pockets on the inside! I will post pics AS SOON as I can get home and take some but now I have to zip off to my second job! I'm sorry for the tease but I just had to tell you how excited I am!

Ok, you know I love you all when.... I come home from coaching gymnastics, throw off my tshirt and pose for modeling pics of a purse in my sports bra and tank top with a dirty mirror! oh my gosh... I love this bag...please excuse the outfit and mirror!

I took as many different angles as I could so you could see the drop length and all that. I have ugh gross fat arms so it does have a large drop which you can't really tell... also I'm 5'6'' and a big girl!

I have more pics coming but I know you've been waiting lol

Antonia · Jun 19th, 2008, 10:30 PM

Congrats! I don't think I've ever seen that bag?? That's a perfect size too....I hope you take some close up pics of the leather so we can really gawk at it!! :)

TygerKitty · Jun 19th, 2008, 10:33 PM

Ooops, one more modeling pic with it on my elbow instead of my shoulder....

all of these pics were taken with flash... I love the detail on the handles! And yay for inside pockets!

TygerKitty · Jun 19th, 2008, 10:36 PM

The first two pics are with and without flash.

The second two are showing the inside pockets!

The color is definitely olive in some light and brown in other... I love it and cannot wait for it to break in a bit more and become distressed! I definitely won't be babying this bag because I think it will only look better as it ages!

Antonia · Jun 19th, 2008, 10:36 PM

Ooh, the leather looks super squishy, which I love. I also love the handles, it adds style to the bag. You did good kid!! :)

Thanks! I hadn't either until someone posted about this bag and one randomly popped up on eBay! If you want pics more close up of the leather let me know but some of them you should be able to zoom in a bit and see it. I don't even know what type of leather it is... it isn't crunch or cloud.

Omg I just realized I didn't take pics of the back or sides or anything lol

Thanks!!! It is pretty squishy but the bag has some structure which is nice so it isn't a big puddle. I am so so so excited!

Great find! I love that bag and I wish Tano would bring it back. Gorgeous shape and detailing. Would be great in the new VELVET leather! The lost art bag is made of "washed" leather and the color of your bag is "
"military green."
