TPF has been such an invaluable resource during my various bag repair/rejuvenation experiences, so I wanted to pay it forward with my own story.
I've been lusting after a black RH mini Pom for a while now, but it's been impossible to find one. A downtrodden mini in some questionable color popped up on the Bay for a song, so I figured what the hell. The seller's idea of packaging was to wrap it in bubble wrap, put it inside a heavy coated paper shopping bag, tape it shut, and send it on its way. I mean.... really. But anyway, it was in decent shape and didn't smell horrible. It was faded and stained, but the leather is decent, moderately thick and definitely nicely slouchy.
