^This is a great price IMO. If I didn't have one already we wouldn't be having this discussion, I'd have bought it already . I wouldn't even try to repair the bottom. It doesn't bother me at all. The bag's in great shape for a vintage. My 04 white is in way worse shape. I carried it to work today and got nothing by oohs and aaahs, even though mine looks pretty beat up. I love this bag!
