I can't believe some of these bags. Does anyone else agree that sometimes these items are NOT salvageable and they belong in the garbage? They had a nice run with some interesting history I'm sure, but come on. I think I would be afraid to touch some of these without rubber gloves on!
I was considering bidding on this one, but the cracked leather is scaring me so I'm having second and third thoughts.
I thought this would be a funny thread to read ... instead I find myself feeling vaguely sick at the sight of these horribly disfigured bags! I'm not joking! I am really feeling a little nauseated !!!
Wow, my life perspective must need an adjustment ...

That poor patent baby!!
I think what I love best about this thread is seeing some of them that don't have hope coming back to life. The poor cracked box though.... I think that one might be beyond hope. But who knows?
I don't look for perfect vintage bags - heaven knows I'm not perfect - why should I expect my bags to be? I just like to think that a bag can have decades of good life, with a bit of love. Even if you start off with a bit of hard living.
I'd love to find a good train wreck to prove that theory. (I just am not willing to gamble a chunk of by bag budget on the hypothesis)

Maybe with brown re-dying this could be brought back to life? But the handle really scares me

HAHAHAHAHAHAI am affectionately calling this one the Alpo Kelly! :greengrin:
Seller comments: "I had it reconditioned at the Hermes Store in New York City a year ago.
The Bag has a new Lock and Keys.
Wear on the corners.
Hardware is still shiny with some scratches due to use. "

Personally I would steer clear having been a victim of one of these in the past.
