Neon Orange Raver. Buying this was an exercise in extreme frivolity. I’d been eyeing these for a while. Sometimes I’m irresistibly attracted to things (and people) who irritate the crap out of me, and the Raver fell in that category. Why? Because have you seen the prices on these? Unconscionable. For nylon.

But I absolutely love it. It’s the perfect throw around, unprecious bag with lots of utility. It fits perfectly tucked under the arm. And the inside is the most, and I mean MOST, buttery soft leather, reminds me of my liquid silk Village. Like, yo, Bal, where’ve you been hiding this leather?

With “Le” City coming soon, it made me wonder if people at Bal even know what the big deal was about the moto bags and why they launched a million collectors. “It’s the leather, stupid!”

Nope, no brining the leather out. It’s not even suitable for the outside. It’s as soft and delicate as a baby’s bottom. So, of course, ideal for receiving ink stains, makeup hazards, key scratches, and snot-infused tissue.

Okay, quick and dirty.
2005 Pewter Box, minty condition.

Small-ish, for me anyways. But it holds all my daily essentials with lots of room to spare! I did not expect that.
Shorter, but much deeper than a First.
I never liked the Twiggy, so haven't considered this style before.
They are very similar, but the Box holds its shape much better when using the strap and I prefer its proportions to the Twiggy.
And it's Pewter, nuff said. Lol.
