Ladies, I have been naughty.
As the oxblood Coach duffle got a broken buckle ( with a 3 month repair time) I returned it. I have been sort of sad as I still needed a winter bag but all that's out there is SPRING stuff.
So here is what I found. I went with a completely different brand with nothing much to break.
Botkier. Nice leather. Leather lined. Solid (appearing) construction. IMG_1486002872.344498.jpg
So then I felt better and found this one that IS for Spring. IMG_1486002906.332903.jpg
Now I must do something silly like find pants that actually fit.

Both are lovely, Murphy!
I own a Botkier bag that DH bought me a few years ago. I rarely carry it, because it's a bit on the small side, but the leather is yummy.

Seriously, I would happily trade away most ("most" like "almost all") of my bags for having less office time. Time is the only true valuable good we have on this world and I am so fed up with wasting 40 hours each week for this stupid place (or any other stupid place) I work in.
I would rather trim some trees instead. :P

Maybe is mysterious Italian holiday season that prevents anyone from shipping items.
Where are those ninjas when you need them.

Hehehehe. This mysterious Italian holiday season lasts 365 days each year. It is called "bella vita". :P
I have lots of Italian friends and one is as obsessed about bags as I am. She thinks I am crazy for ordering Massaccesi bags, because she does not believe me that it really WORKS. :D

Oh no, Murphy! Don't tell me you had ANOTHER bad luck bag?! :shocked::wtf: Not the pretty Coach bucket bag. :crybaby::crybaby::crybaby: This is devastating! But, kudos to you for not giving up on handbags.
Your new ones are very pretty. I keep all fingers and toes crossed and I send tons of good vibes your way in order to keep those bags from falling apart like the others. :hbeat:

Great finds Murphy ! I once saw Botkier bags IRL and was impressed.:tup::love:
You are going to love carrying yours.
And the VB is gorgeous too. Perfect for spring but also... now!:heart::heart:
