Perfect color and I also love the adjustable strap!Happy Tuesday, fellow Islanders!
I’ve been so pleased with my vintage Botkier Crosstowns that I decided to take a leap of faith and explore the possibilities of Botkier’s more recent iteration, the smaller Cobble Hill.
Of the two I’ve ordered, this one just arrived this afternoon.

I love the color and despite its deceptive size, it comfortably accommodates all the necessities I ordinarily carry.

This colour is perfect for autumn.
Happy 1st of September!
With my patina developing Sonnenleder bag.
That leather is definitely not for cowards. But, I knew that before.

I love everything about your Sonnenleder tote.
I thought the same thing about the color, Ludmilla.
Once the other Cobble Hill bag I ordered arrives I’ll take a Botkier “family photo.”
For me your Sonnenleder has that same inestimable aura as the well worn trench coat favored by the film noir detectives of the thirties and forties.Happy 1st of September!

To my mind your Sonnenleder has the same aura as the iconic trench coat favored by film noir detectives of the thirties and forties.
I also think, that this bag will get a lot of character. 
Looking forward to the family pic!!
Thank you, Mariapia.Wow, Fim.

As much as I love my Buttercup Kristin, it’s more perfectly suited to spring and summer whereas this bag is definitely Autumnal.
Love totes! And you’re right about the leather!Happy 1st of September!

“Need”, want its all the same to me haha!Thank you, Tomsmom!
It’s not a bag I needed, but absolutely had to have.
Still no bag shops in sight, ladies.
No jeans store either…
What does a girl like me do when she really needs to buy something?
She buys shoes in the only trendy place in the city..
A small shop with lots of new designs and wonderful SAs and manager.
Okay, here’s a pic of my New Balance 327 .
I got them about an hour ago after trying on I don’t know how many pairs from other brands ( a Finnish one included)

Thank you, Tomsmom.
There were other brands I had never heard of…but I love New Balance.
All the lovely shops we used to have have disappeared from my place.
They all went to shopping malls.
I don’t live in a village, though…I live in a city of 80,000 inhabitants …
What a great find, Mariapia!Still no bag shops in sight, ladies.
