Lucky you...only ones I've seen have been in the arms of a beautifully dressed older woman whom I got into conversations with precovid times. She was amazed that I know who it was.

I got luck as well...thinking I was buying a fake for the parts, found that my $10 briefcase was a real vintage 90s Mullberry.

Happy Thursday, fellow Islanders! :wave:

The old saying “no good deed goes unpunished” has never been more apt for me when it comes to our two terriers. :dog: :dog:

Happily I have a bag up to the task of accompanying us on these jaunts. :idea:

My vintage Dooney Small Spicy.

The lining of my Dooney is tearing. It’s 3 years old and the fabric lining is dirty, especially at the top. So I was looking at it thinking of how I was going to clean it, but when I looked closely, I saw that it’s actually tearing there as well. This bag was carried for probably like 75% of the year for 2 years, so it saw a lot of use. And the phrase used around here of “not babying a bag” doesn’t even come close to the near total disregard I had for a bag’s long term well being. I did not even have the concept of bag care or being careful. I thought of bags as something you used however you wanted until they were used up and either broke or looked so bad that you had to get a new one. And now my most comfortable carry bag is showing how I mistreated it. The outside leather still looks good, but the fabric …

I have only one suggestion, nyeredzi. :console:

Fabric tape. You might find that exact shade of red and cut a strip to size to prevent further tearing and be indiscernible to anyone but yourself. :thinking:

What a steal. Never saw those in a colour like that. Very pretty!

Aww. Bummer. But the bag looks very nice on the outside, still. Some of my bags have a ugly inner life, also. I tend to ignore that.
