You are all very curious islanders. 
I never wore/wear any of my Docs without socks. I even wear the more elegant one with nylons. The sandals are the only ones I wear barefooted.
It seems like you need shoes with soft leather. So, I would check the leathers of your Docs in question. If it is very stiff I would not take them. There is no use in owning shoes that hurt you.
I am (although it does not seem so) minimal in the shoe department, too. Most of my docs date from 1998-2010. I visit the store regularly, but I am not tempted to buy.
I hate stuff that falls apart quickly. I do not want to buy new shoes (and clothes and other things) every year and produce a huge mountain of junk just because the companies want to sell their stuff.
Making decisions is always difficult for me...
Even more so when it comes to bags.
Am I the only one?
The brand is called Rural Kind. They make bags that I would call "adventure bags". Hard wearing materials like thick vegetable tanned leather for straps and coated canvas for the bags. My bag is not on their website as it is a collaboration with an online shop from the UK that sells "organic" stuff of different kinds. My bag is an all leather bag.
Hehehe. I am a very bad girl. I am doing a bit of a cliffhanger....
It is not a well known brand.
When will you receive it, Ludmilla?

I am stocking up things I like, too. And I am trying to buy new clothes only when something old cannot be worn anymore. As I am not a huge fan of buying clothes this works quite well. It also works with shoes. It is hard not to clutter the house with books and bags, though.
My order has shipped today (got some other stuff, too). No idea when everything arrives.When will you receive it, Ludmilla?

I got a full leather bag. If I like it there will be a coated canvas bag in my life, too.
I am such a hoarder. I cannot give things away as long as they are not ruined. My brain always says: "it might come in handy one day." And as soon as I am ready to give sonething away my mother chimes in saying: "oh, but it still looks like new!"
This one is one of the "to-go-to" bags. I am such a hoarder. I cannot give things away as long as they are not ruined. My brain always says: "it might come in handy one day." And as soon as I am ready to give sonething away my mother chimes in saying: "oh, but it still looks like new!"
Hehehe. I am VERY curious about the new bag, too. Good thing: I give another bag away for this one.
Thank you.
I am always a bit on the fence with the patina on that one. There is some colour transfer on the back I do not like.
Don't worry about colour transfer, Ludmilla. It's unavoidable. I had some on my Minelli( same colour as your Bree) and though it had been there for quite a while, I cleaned the bag with Nivea baby milk and it disappeared.I am such a hoarder.

Thank you. Great ideas I will give them a try.
