What a beautiful color! Sort of brown, sort of gray! Almost like a darkened taupe. It is just delightful! And, like you, I love the uneven hide part. It looks so natural and leathery! What a great addition to your LM collection, Bon!


A belated reveal of a pre-loved Dark Brown Love me. It is more a greyish brown than chestnutty, and I like this!
I used it a bit upon arrival in Dec last year for then to give it a good amount of conditioning...and a some good massage! :graucho: The oils from the palms of the hands has now been giving more sheen to this matte leather..this one has the old type of sewn on inner pocket an no messenger strap, so it must be one of the first produced.
The back of the bag has got an uneven part of the hide, and this suits me just fine! So this is not a nice, sleek bag, but a bag with lots of character:p

Thank you former owner..I'm taking good care of her!!
 
Those are so yummy, Vannie! I got a Love Me Mini in a trade as well as an LA Tote on it's way in another trade! I also received a pink sheen TMA recently and an aubergine Hold Me! Not sure if I mentioned those here! I should take pics of them all! And I love this doggie that Lovie posted in another thread so I'm posting him here! :doggie:
 
Giovanna - I am loving this bag so much. I shortened the messenger strap so the bag hangs on my hip so it doesn't matter that it didn't come with a shoulder strap. I sniff it constantly - the smell is divine.

TL - you posted about the aubergine and pink sheen bags, but we have yet to see the choc crash LMM and I am really looking forward to the cafe latte bag! Trading is great as you get to try stuff without adding to your collection and without the hassle of selling!
 
I carry my full size TMA in matte tan the same way, Vans! I shortened the strap so it hangs at my hip and the strap stays put! My pink sheen has a shoulder strap which is OK but I do prefer the thinner straps more. We still get along well! LOL!

I forgot which bags I posted about, getting old! haha! The aubergine Hold Me is wonderful too! When the cafe latte arrives I'll take pics of both bags together. I love the LMM and am very excited about the cafe latte! Trading is awesome! I love trying new stuff and it cuts out the huge losses taken when reselling a bag!
 
Here's my new to me Wine Sheen Kiss Me pictured with a Kiwi Sheen KM that I got from a lovely tpfer last year.

I gave the wine sheen a good conditioning with Collonil before buffing with a soft cloth - the leather is just gorgeous.
 
Bonnie the Love Me in dark brown is amazing. It looks rich and warm. I am like you I do not mind impefections in leather it gives the bag great character.
 
These are the last 2 bags that I acquired through trades! I have had a couple of really great trades with some super gals by placing my bags up on Bonanza. I make sure I know who the gals are to be safe of course but so far this has been such a great experience! First I got a Love Me Mini in chocolate crash, gold hardware, purple lining and thin threaded straps (which are required for me!). Then I got an LA Tote in cafe latte with gold hw and fuchsia lining. Both are gorgeous bags!

The LMM was love at first sight but the LA Tote had to grow on me! But there are so many things about it that I really like that I'm attached to it now! LOL! I'm giving it time, wearing it a while, before I decide what to do with it.

Here's a pic of each one:
