Just amazing, thanks for sharing this. Congratulations on such a rare beauty, the leather looks insane.


Thanks, D! Always good to see you! Hope you've been well:) yes, thank you! She's pretty stunning!

That's a slice of heaven in your hands! What a find!


I know, right!! Kind of unbelievable!! Thank you so much for such a nice comment!

WOW! What a score, very cool find! I am seriously contemplating undoing some linings in nappa leather flat brass bags to touch the suede side...I'm imagining buttery soft velvet. Gorgy!!


Thank you!! Hahaha! I have a visual of you sitting with all your Le Dix Nappa bags looking for the one that has a stick loose in the lining! (It would be totally worth it!! Haha) thank you[emoji4]

You've scored the mother lode!!!! WOW-JUST-WOW!! :loveeyes::hbeat::love::drool::faint:


I know!! It's crazy!! I'm telling you...I don't do reveals or solo bag posts, but honestly, she was too great of a find NOT to share!! Thanks, Ceejay!!
 
BIG CONGRATS!!!
Condition looks awesome considering it's already 15 years old! I always love FB hobo, she is the one who made me acquired my Men's Day & Day!
And yours ....... is a winner! :-)
 
Wow! FB sample--out of this world!! Congrats!!! Thanks for sharing this incredible find :woohoo: the leather looks supernatural, you can just kerplunk your CP right through the front pocket hehe!
 
This is such great piece, I'm glad you found it, or it found you!

There is no lining, just the back of the Nappa/ previously thought to be Kidskin and the front pocket, well, is fake!! Haha! Yep, fake! It's just a sample!! You can see the back of the Flat Brass Studs, the Zippers & the hardware.

On the inside, you may see a rectangular outline around the zipper where a square of matching leather was glued to make the pocket "real".
 
:faint:

Incredible! And I'm so happy she found her way to a home that will treasure her. Congratulations :smile1:

Thank you! She will absolutely be treasured:smile1:

Thanks, lady!! The FBH is such a special bag and this little bag is truly a showstopper! The condition is amazing!! You can tell that she's been carried from her strap, but there's not a single mark on her body!! Pretty fantastic shape for a 15 yo bag that is made of the softest leather I've ever felt!!

Wow! FB sample--out of this world!! Congrats!!! Thanks for sharing this incredible find :woohoo: the leather looks supernatural, you can just kerplunk your CP right through the front pocket hehe!

Thank you!!! Her leather is SUPERNATURAL! Perfect word!! Haha!! Yeah, my FC was the closest 'item' laying around without me having to go get something for a cool pic!:laugh: Although, a Coin Purse would have probably worked better! It was a bit big and looks slightly awkward looking back!

I like that!! She found me:p Thank you so much!

Yes!! You are correct...she indeed has a faint line of glue where a "real" pocket would have been attached. I wonder how long it stayed glued on there! haha And yes, that makes total sense!! Wish I had the square of leather...maybe if I do some back research, just maybe. But doubtful...haha.

Beautiful!!

Thank you so much!!

Congrats on the amazing find!

Thank you!! So much appreciated :p


Haha! I know, right! Thank you!

Amazing! Would love to hear the story of how you snagged it.[emoji122]🏻

Thank you!! I bought her from just a regular seller and from what I'm told it was from a private estate liquidation...just a lucky day!!
 
First, what a find! That's like, one in a gazillion. Secondly, it looks to be in fabulous condition and looks buttery soft. I mean like melt-in-your-hands soft! Thirdly, thank you for sharing with us and taking such nice close up photos in doing so. :loveeyes:
 
thompk, you are a TRUE COLLECTOR, my hat goes off to you! This is such a piece of history, it belongs in Bal museum for sure, like a rare painting, and here you can see and admire it every day! Huge congratulations!!
