I have a Bally bag that I bought, but rarely carried, in the 1980s. Earlier posts mention Bally's penchant for brown, and this one is brown -- a color I rarely wore. So it's still in nearly new condition, despite its age and dated appearance. And despite its dated appearance, I still love it.
If anybody can identify the bag's name or actual year of production I would be thrilled to have the information. I bought it at Nordstrom.
I've also owned several pairs of Bally shoes, and an attaché case. All were made from gorgeous, but hard, leathers, and were of very high quality.
