I wanted to share a pic of one of my LP workhorse bags. I use this nonstop during the fall/winter season. After at least 3 years of use it still looks great. The fjord leather has softened up a bit which is nice. Just now some wear is starting to show on the base piping. I must say this happens much more quickly on other brands. My Tods and Prada bags last about a year before I see the corners wearing.

I just heard the news. I want to build myself a cave, get my credit card, buy everything from every LP store, lock myself up in the cave forever, and ignore paying my debts to the bank!

This is so heartwrenching. Bring on anxiety. Pray for quality.
