Under the right conditions Lizard must last quite well. The vintage lizard 28 Kelly bag on offer at Luxury-Shops is over 40 years old.
The vintage lizard 35 Kelly bag that I own from Creaturs*de*Luxe is in fabulous condition. This is my one and only exotic and I love it. When I got it I also learned I love the kelly 35 size.
I just got the exact same twin as you Hummingbird !! Vintage Lizard Kelly 35cm. When I saw the listing from Timeless Pieces and saw a 35cm Lizard I was so shocked! I've only seen 25cm's and smaller in store in recent years.
Needless to say, I bought her in a split sec hahaha.
