My tried and trusted classic tote. Fits everything I need, fares nicely in all sorts of weather and always makes me feel good :smile:
Beautiful! You look so chic. I’ve been thinking about getting one and I really don’t know how it’s going to hold up. Do you put heavy things like a laptop in it and are the corners sagging? So worried about ruining such an expensive bag but I want to use it for work. Thoughts? Thanks

Thank you :flowers:. I bought it over a year ago. I took some more pics to give you an idea how it's holding up after a year of use (well, half a year, I used it from Nov to Apr-May last year and started to carry it again this autumn). I took a couple of pictures of the side (one with the poppers closed and the other one with an unpopped side), front and the bottom of the bag.

So far I am quite impressed with the quality. It is caviar leather, and I specifically was looking for caviar leather for a tote. It certainly makes it more durable and, possibly, helps keeps the shape a bit better than lambskin.
I don't carry a laptop in this bag, or any handbag. It will certainly fit a laptop, leaving enough room for all other gubbins and pouches.

I always feel liberated when I switch to this bag after having to carefully plan which possessions to fit and carry in my reissue or similar size handbags.

My vintage classic jumbo. There are days when I feel that I don’t get to use this often enough that I might as well sell it. But then I take it out of the closet and fall in love with it all over again
