Ayear ago I was lucky enough to buy an O/S black soft buffalo Alexa andan Aubergine East West Mitzy (bit of a long story but splurgedafter winning court case againstex-employer - did all my own case work
Ialso have a black Sofia and Butter Mitzy; all were acquired second hand butconfirmed as genuine (all come with receipts, checked serial tags,dustbags etc.).
Iwanted an Alexa for so long and it was a huge personal achievement to get suchan amazing bag, but when I got her I wasn't overly impressed with the sackof potatoes impression when placing down on surface of anything and the lack ofstructure to the bag drove me insane. Plus the idea of idiots on the Tubesmacking into her meant that for the past year she’s sat in her dustbag whilstI reverted to using a Fossil Emerson as my work bag.
RecentlyI decided to stop being such an idiot and just crack out my Alexa to see if Iget on with her. Today was the day and I am somad at myself for not using her more over the past year I have had her, because she’sbeen an absolute joy to carry!!
Iwill be completely honest here, she was a total bargain compared to some of theprices I have seen; I paid £350 inc P&P for her. She is marked as an ‘0’although there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with her, the leather is perfect,not a scratch anywhere, stitching perfect??
Am I alone in my paranoia of buying a mulberry and then treating them like anunexploded bomb and not using them in case they get scratched or have othershad similar experiences??
