On the boobie thread @CeeJay had one and said it was from 02. I don't know what the leather is though, or the style of the bag. It would have to be F/W 02 because of the pocket on the mirror, S/S didn't have it. Can you show more pics of the bag? The back of the leather tag should have some info on it if it's F/W.
In your second picture, it looks like at least part of the bag and the planet and mirror are pebbled caribou leather. I have never seen that style of bag, however, in 01 and 02, several bags in the motorcycle line were made of caribou leather.
Thanks! Here’s the tag and I included the zipper head for good measure. I found a similar bag that calls it pebbled calfskin with camelskin.. if anyone, @CeeJay would know!
TBH it doesn’t look like caribou to me. It’s got a weird-looking pebbling, maybe that’s the camel skin. I do recall there were some bags where they used camel.
I had a camel skin bowling bag, although I can't remember when or what the leather felt like. It was pretty tough and heavy though. I think @CeeJay had one, too. Maybe she'll pop in and put us out of our misery soon, LOL.
I looked at a pic of her camelskin bag and it looked smoother than this. I'm puzzled as to what the leather is...I saw one ask on TPF about the same bag and she said it was listed as mouton but it just doesn't look like anything I'm familiar with. Paging @CeeJay ...
Is this really Blue Roi? When I look up Blue Roi, it looks like a very different blue.
Yup. Keep in mind that ink is known to have fading issues.
Boo, I didn't know that. I already have one bag on the way with fading issues, don't think I need two.
Yeah the first season in 06 isn't known for great bags. @CeeJay says the F/W leathers are better. I'm not sure if the fading issue is right across the boards for all colours that year but I know for sure ink has a reputation for fading.Boo, I didn't know that. I already have one bag on the way with fading issues, don't think I need two.
