So, today I have a happy tale to tell!
I had a bag that I needed to exchange (Delightful MM mono) because I wasn't completely in LVoe with it. I had thought about the Delightful MM DE and the Duomo Hobo (I even started a thread regarding this decision). So I went to the store today and the DHobo wasn't available, but the Del DE was, and I loved it so much! I thought I'd find the strap uncomfortable, but I didn't. So I brought it home ❤️ However, the happy part is yet to come!
Last month I revealed a purchase on the August thread: a Speedy B 25 mono. I was so happy with it! Unfortunately, my bag was defective and I had to return it. The store where I usually go didn't have another one, so I brought a Delightful MM DA home, but still couldn't stop thinking about my beloved Speedy. I missed it badly. Well, today, when I went to the store (a different one) to exchange the other bag, I asked them if they had the Speedy B 25 mono. They did!! I LOVED the fact that, for some reason, the leather had already started to patina veeeeery slightly. I wondered if it was because it was the display bag (I don't really mind if it is).
I also brought it home with me. When I opened the bag, I was VERY surprised to see there was no zipper on the inside pocket! I checked the date code and it turns out this bag was made in the end of last year! I was so happy about this, I didn't like that stupid zipper on such a small pocket! Now that's why there is a very gentle patina on the leather
For reference, I'm 1.56 m tall (5'1 1/2") and weigh 54 kg (119 pounds, I think)
