thanks so much for the kind words everyone! i'm so glad i found one with a nice patina, i really didn't want a new one, as odd as that sounds. i can't wait to get it, but i'll have to wait until next weekend because it's being shipped to my parents' house (sadly, that's my confirmed paypal address). more pics after dinner...

At what age does a bag become "vintage"?

i always use the key of at least 15 years, i think my mom told me that when i as little or something, so that's sort of what i've always had in my head.

Very nice bag Enjoy!

the seller is LVLU-certified (although it was not over ebay) and i got it for $299 including shipping. it's truly vintage because it was made in the mid-to-late 80s, making it approximately 20 years old, which i'm REALLY excited about! yaaaay! here's a pic (i've gotta run to work, i'll post more when i get back)
