Hands up whose singing 
The question often comes up about love - and can it grow for a bag. Well in this case it most definitely did for me and Rosie.
I bought her on impulse one night - no questions asked - no extra pics - no authentication etc
I was decidedly underwhelmed to say the least when she arrived .
She was a lot smaller than I expected and not in very good condition - the handles being very dark & yucky..
On the plus side she was a lovely colour and she was my beloved Darwin...
I set to and started cleaning and spraying and sandpapering and forming and slowwwwly she started to transform.
Whilst sandpapering away an ink mark inside I loosened some stitching in your bottom - ouch - and sent her off to SM for repair .
At the same time I enquired about having the handles replaced but decided it was too expensive relative to the price I had paid and declined the quote.
However , due to an error the handles were replaced by mistake and they agreed not to charge me !
The new handles transformed my ugly ducking into a beautiful swan...
Here she is - before & after
