Quelle horreur HORREUR!Replace the brass on a 1952 bag??
QUELLE HORREUR!
Ah, Quelle Horreur, my bad big brotherReplace the brass on a 1952 bag??
QUELLE HORREUR!
I adore the old hardware on my 67-year-old bag 
Wonderful and amazing bag!
Production during WWII is indeed fascinating if a somewhat shameful bit of history for French fashion. The industry as a whole arrived to an agreement to continue production with the collaborationist Vichy government that included dressing and supplying the spouses of the German military and government officials. Those who refused, like Madame Gres (who was jewish) were closed down.
Ok then. To be more specific I would like general opinion on this boxcalf in Blue Indigo color as I was thinking of buying it.

If you still don’t understand that there is not enough information to give an informed answer to your question here are some pointers:
what is its age; does it have its shoulder strap; what is the asking price?
On face value it look very desirable, but it’s just a nice picture of the front; it could have a deep scratch on the back or stains on the inside. Then it’s a 28 and 25s are what people want now - but you really want a 30 and this has become available?
There are so many other factors.
Don’t expect people who have considered all these things with their own purchases to be able to just say simply yes or no.

Solely on the colour then yes
That's amazing. If that Kelly could tell stories ( @doni )...
My K will be 50 in couple of years. I think I may celebrate with a Kelly tea party.
Thank you for the information. I’m also trying to figure out more about the fashion industry and H back in the war days. I couldn’t find much except for Coco Chanel’s story.
Hi all!
Does anyone here have pictures of box in the colour Bleu de prusse? I’ve recently been given the opportunity to order an item in this leather and colour and would greatly appreciate any photos of how the colour looks in both bright and dim lighting.
Thanks much

I totally agree, I would never change the gorgeous old brass hardware on a vintage bag!
