Congrats on the ali! I loved the story. I have a shoulder bag in whiskey that I got at the outlet - don't worry about the scratches, etc. I'm totally anal about my bags, but this whiskey was being sold "as is" b/c it was "shop worn" so it had scratches and had darkened in some places. The kicker? The scratches rub out and I actually love the character of the bag as it's darkened. It is absolutely one of my favs and I know your ali will be one of yours!
Enjoy her and congrats again!
