Sigh you guys are making me miss my city that I sold years ago!I was so drawn to this bag - seriously Like a moth to a flame lol. I saw it had some wear but went for it anyway. So happy I did bc this bag is stunningIt's so hard to capture its beautiful color. The leather is so soft and smooshy, it feels like chevre 💙 So here's my Metallic Velo - my first Velo (H/T to @haisley for posting it in the finds!View attachment 5992114View attachment 5992115View attachment 5992116

Last week I stated there were two bags that had me departing Ban Island and my second arrived today. Huge heartfelt thank you to the sweetest tPFer that gave me the opportunity to add this special HG bag into my collection. I appreciate you tremendously!

Delivery day for me: this little beauty is soft like butter, now I get the love for the oldies leather
The ballerina charm also looks perfect paired with miss Olive.

Suuuuuuper scrumptious! Lives up to it DC moniker. WOW.
As I said, I am resisting buying a hip, because that would be a slippery slope for me
I think this community in particular loves the vintage bags. We've been here for about 20 years now, so naturally we love the old stuff we fell in love with. I personally resent that I have to wade through a 1000 canvas Navy totes while searching for moto bags, but I do love some of the new bags (mostly can't afford them). But there is a very large new Bal bag consuming population that doesn't post here. The new bags are doing just fine.
This one in particular kills me. Kills me more knowing I will never come close to affording it.
I keep telling myself that it is a blessing in disguise that those XL sized Le Cagole Totes (like @ksuromax was showing off in another thread) aren't US based yet as it's giving me time to save up for that overpriced bag that I love.
