I was 21 and I bought it with hard earn, saved up on my part time retail job paycheck. I barely used my Viva Cite MM because I remember all the hundreds that I put down to buy it. It still looks and smells brand new. Its funny how I can't bring myself to sell it, but I can't bring myself to use it. And I bought other bags that I have no problem using (Mini Lin Boulogne, Damier Illovo, MC Pochette, Mini Lin Speedy).. but this Viva Cite. Its very precious to me.
